The show is over
The tricks are revealed
I could finally see it all
The talking puppets, flying objects, and disappearing man
Had left me in awe
He  performed such tricks so easily
With a snap and a blink
However
He is actually not as talented as he seems
No one knows behind the stage
Much hard work is dedicated
For every trick to be of perfection
He practised tirelessly day and night
As the clock slowly ticks
Tick tock tick tock
