you to inspect it to see if it is indeed real, unaltered,
normal. But of course... it probably isn't. The second act
is called "The Turn". The magician takes the ordinary
something and makes it do something extraordinary.
Now you're looking for the secret... but you won't find
it, because of course you're not really looking. You don't
really want to know. You want to be fooled. But you
wouldn't clap yet. Because making something
disappear isn't enough; you have to bring it back. That's
why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part,
the part we call _____X____"
