The Magician tombstone

"He comes to you with top hat donned,
White gloves flash with a sleight of hand
that stretches reality beyond.
The twinkle in his eyes hide the secret
he will never share.
With awe, you feel your heart's great thrill
like none you can compare,
What lies in the heart of this man? Drawn
to him are the children of the land.
They know that love flows in abundance, for
his heart and soul are reflected in his
smiling glance.
And now gathered here with tears in our eyes
grief in our hearts and stiff proper smiles,
We honor this great loving man. Never again
will we see the twinkle of his eye - the
sleight of his hand
That drew the children of the land.
