text: Hello. My name is Willium Whiteford. I don't exactly know why I am here telling you this. Maybe I am tired of hiding. Perhaps I just need to get all these thoughts out of my skull. I just need to let somebody in on my secret. You see, I am a magician. Not like the ones you see at parties; well I do do parties but I will get to that later. What I mean to say is that I am an actual Magician, capital M and everything. I cast spells and the like. I used to do shows on Broadway. I was in Las Vegas for a while. I even toured the world doing magic shows. I was incredibly famous. Almost everyone knew my name. I had money, power, women, everything a man could ever want. No, no of course you haven't heard of me. Haha. Sorry to laugh. It's just I made everyone forget about me. A complicated spell, but worth it. It got all of those other hacks off my back. Always wanting to know my tricks. I got kidnapped twice you know. It just became annoying; so I left. I mostly do kids shows now. I did mention I do parties. Their smiles are always the best anyways. It also got kind of boring. You see, real magic is fairly easy. Overall at least. I can get almost anything I want with a wave of a hand. I could have it all back in an instant. So it's really not much of a loss. I did decide to get the better of those other 'magicians' though. Big air quotes around that word by the way. I went to learn their magic: sleight of hand, smoke and mirrors, card tricks and the like. It was all so complicated, it was more difficult than just changing the universe with a spell. The funny part was having learned it all I was actually able to hide real magic from prying eyes. Take long sleeves. Most 'magicians' don't wear them. They don't want people to say 'Ah he just took it out of his sleeve,' or 'He pulled that out of his sleeve!" Stuff like that. I always wear a coat. When I make something appear or disappear, it doesn't matter what, people just assume that's what I do. I went from being considered the greatest magician, to just a decent one. The freedom is amazing. What? No, of course I am not scared of you revealing my secret. Well simple. By the time you finish reading this you will have forgotten all about me. In fact after you hit the upvote button you will move on and read a different story. You may leave here with a strange compulsion to hire me though. Honestly, I am great with kids. They love the act. Their faces light up when I make toys appear out of thing air. Willium Whiteford, you can remember that. Thank you for listening. It was wonderful meeting you. Goodbye.
