Oscar stared through the flickering torch at the audience. " Watch as my assistant will rise in her chair into the atmosphere". He put his hands slowly over Mavis. Then the chair began to rise.

The audience gasped.

" Arise my dear and float in the sky".

Mavis rose up from the chair. She began to float in the air.

Oscar smiled. The show was going well.

Just then, a man pointed up. " I see a wire".

Oscar stared at the man. " You must be mistaken Sir".

" No. I see a wire". The man pointed above Mavis. " See it's right there".

" Folks, this is magic". Oscar smiled. " I don't need wires".

" He's a fake". A woman pointed toward Mavis. " I see a wire too".

Oscar took out a knife. He cut the wire releasing Mavis. 

She landed in Oscar's arms. " Run Oscar".

He ran out the back flap of the tent.
