People round here say you’re a witch
They’re intrigued in seeing you roast
They really intend to burn you my friend
I think that’s the bit they like most

Lords and Priests and Talking Beasts
Golden Calves and Telepaths
Crystal Skulls and screaming Girls
Woman glows tattooed with Snow
Cannot miss the Manifest
Men are strong when days are long
Dragons glide on Mountain Side

 What should the age limits be for the 2nd Contest? 

The show must go on
These people have paid
Standing in the wings
Feeling kinda sick
The fog sweeps down
Over the Marine city
Standin back stage
Trying to put on my shoes

Then I step out
Strangest reflection
In a strangers eyes

So the magician drifts away
And the noise dies down
Life goes on as before
All the people start to frown
And the children never tell
What his secrets were

Radiance

…for children (or parents competing for their children) set to begin on the anniversary of Houdini’s Death 2010!!!

I hear and I forget.
I see and I remember.
I do and I understand.

He can change wine into water
Caller against caller
Playing little tricks for you
Puts them in a fix for you

Smashes your watch with a hammer
Impresses you off camera
And says the magic words
That nobody has ever heard

And he does the indian rope trick
The one that makes you seasick
He keeps on climbing up and up
And you just keep on backing up

Some of it’s done with mirrors
Some of it’s done with scissors
And some of it’s done with cables
And his hands under the table

It doesn’t matter you want to believe
It doesn’t matter if you have to leave
You won’t escape his orbit
And the things that you must forfeit

And the audience seemed familiar
And some of them in particular
And when it came time to dance
They played his game of chance

You think that he has missed
Now you’ve fallen into his abyss

The Disillusionist is back again…
