Staged Deception
With a wave of the wand
A gesture of the hand
The audience was agape
There, under command
With magic before them
So ever amazed
Their eyes were wide open
Just seemed so dazed
Pulling rabbits from hats
To cutting someone in two
Houdini’s metamorphosis
With their heads, I did screw
They really applauded
They truly believed
But the audience is gullible
For they were deceived
