"Okay, let's try this one more time," the magician spoke nervously.
"Abracadabra," he yelled, waving his wand over the hat.
"Voila."
For the third time, a cloud of fireflies burst from the hat, lighting up the stage, amid the gasps and claps from the audience, who were enjoying the spectacular light show.
The magician stomped his feet. "NOOOOO."
He tried again, with the same result and the same audience reaction.
The audience were now giving the magician a standing ovation.
"Stop it," the magician yelled. "Stop clapping."
The audience slowly went quiet.
"Okay, which one of you stole my rabbit."
