The Secrets of Magic

Clapped in irons showy padlocks on display

Death water tanks watch him hold his breath

Beyond the range of mortal man

Sheets of fire and rings of steel

Pick a card any card

Sword swallowing watch him saw the lady in half

How do you do it says the wide eyed kid

Tricks of the trade he says with a grin

Can’t be revealed on pain of death

Twirl of black cape red velvet lining

Puff of smoke and the Magician vanishes.
