Oscar stared through the flickering torch at the audience. " Watch as my assistant Mavis will rise in her chair into the atmosphere". He put his hands slowly over her and she began to rise in the chair.
The audience gasped.
" Arise my dear and float in the sky".
She rose up from the chair and began to float in the air. The chair crashed to the ground.
Oscar could tell the show was going well.
" I see a wire" yelled a man from the audience.
" You must be mistaken Sir".
" No, I see a wire". He pointed above Mavis. " See it's right there".
Oscar tried to calm the audience. " Folks, this is magic there is no need for wires".
" He's a fake" a woman yelled as she pointed . " I see a wire too".
He took a knife out and cut the wire releasing Mavis. She fell into his arms.
" Run Oscar".
They ran out the back flap of the tent.
