The Magician

With a gesture he'll confuse you,
his intention is to deceive,

his hat and pockets are loaded full
yet, there's nothing up his sleeve;

no one can know his motives,
why he does the things he does,

after careful consideration,
he does them just because;

he seems in control of everything
as he enters through the door,

he changes things to nothing
and the crowd still screams for more;

his powers of legerdemain concludes
each illusion with a flair,

so that his prestidigitation skills
are both astounding, and quite rare;

the mystery surrounding him
goes way far back in time,

with an ability to maneuver props
he's like a ballet dance, sublime;

capable of the impossible,
his moves are lightening quick,

creating more and more believers
with each and every trick;

and try as you may, you'll not posses
the precision of his skills,

he'll never tell, nor would he sell
how he give his audience, thrills;

and when he's through performing
while the crowd gets set to leave,

almost everyone who witnessed him
admits that they believe;

but, the proof that magic does exist
for him, is profoundly wise,

he conjures not, to convince the crowd,
but, to glimpse it.....in their eyes.
