More mesmerizing Than the sleight of hand was his sidekick, the Raucous, rude dummy, Fats, through which (whom) he Illustrated his ability to speak through dead-still Lips. All eyes were on Fats. Then—well, Fats took Over, so to speak. Corky, by then Quite mad, ended up killing two people. Seemingly unassuming and shy, he was Under the spell of the evil, controlling Fats—Corky’s true Id manifested. I vividly remember some Scenes from Magic (1978)-- to me, a truly Terrifying movie. Magic starred Anthony Hopkins, Ann-Margret, and Burgess Meredith. June 17, 2018, entered in Anthony Slausen's Ventriloquist Poetry Contest
