The Great Poetry Illusion Contest

Poets - this will be unlike previous contests of mine you have ever seen or entered.

Option 1 - I want you to give me a great illusion. Make be believe something is happening but later at the end add a twist so I have to think before I "get it" so to speak.

Option 2 - Write about an illusion, a very clever trick you have seen performed and why you thought it was amazing

Option 3 - Write about a great illusionist - a real person or not, but make him/her sound fantastic when you describe them and what they do.

Rules
No typing in sticky caps
Be nice to each other
