[ WP ] A real wizard goes on Penn and Teller 's fool us , does real magic , but does n't fool them .

First time in a long time, so we'll see if this is any good 
 
 Bzellacossi the great had always been well... great. He had performed magic for kings and emperors for a few hundred years and largely lived a life of luxury and comfort. Unfortunately illusionists have gotten much better over the 100 years and had cut into the market a little. In an effort to return to his former glory he made it his quest to fool the greatest magicians alive today. 
 
 As he was welcomed on stage, he was greeted with roaring applause followed by complete silence. In front of the audience he turned lead into gold, and shot fire from his wand. He brought rabbits out of hats and then hats out of rabbits, and for his final trick he made himself disappear completely. With that the lights went out briefly and he re-appeared and bowed. 
 
 Expecting the award to fall from above Bzellacossi looked expectedly at Penn to speak. `` You know that's a great trick, I really love some of the old school illusions as a way to bring magic back to its roots'' he said with the bellowing voice that speaks for both the magicians. 
 
 `` Now I do n't want to give away too much for the people here at home, but we actually are familiar with a few of these tricks, does the magician Merlin ring a bell?'' 
 
 With a blank stare from Bzellacossi penn went on `` he used to do this trick he would use his wand to to make things'appear' by'' suddenly Bzellacossi blurted out `` Well I think you guys have figured it out no need to give away too much'' 
 
 With a defeated look the once great magician returned to performing great feats of magic at children's birthday parties and in front of slightly interested executives.
