35A. The Prestige
Every great magic trick consists of three parts or acts. The
first part is called "The Pledge". The magician shows you
something ordinary: a deck of cards, a bird or a man. He
shows you this object. Perhaps he asks 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 "The Prestige".
