My brother Dave and I ran through the icy air on our way to the theater. Christmas was coming, and Dave had bought me, as a present, tickets to go see the Great Pretender, a famous prestidigitator. I was so excited, I barely even felt the cold, despite the fact that the snow was a foot deep on the ground and more kept falling every minute. We hurried in, shaking the snow from our coats, and found our seats, 14J and 15J. "Wow, what great seats," I laughed as we sat. They were right in the center of the theater. Not too close, not too far away, so we could see everything but didn't have to worry about anything falling on us, or the Great Pretender picking one of us for one of his magic tricks. In a few minutes the show started, and we were having so much fun! My favorite trick in the first half of the show was when the Great Pretender brought a fierce, roaring lion out on stage. "This, friends," he told us, "is Savethelast. A savage beast, yes, but watch what happens when I sprinkle this Love Potion No. 9 on him!" The lion, after the potion touched his head, instantly calmed and stopped his menacing growling. Indeed, he looked just like a docile housecat. "Now," the Great Pretender cried. "Savethelast, dance for me!" The lion started, to all appearances, tap dancing. He was surprisingly good. Then came intermission. We got out of our seats to go get a soda, but when we came back these two guys had taken our seats! I looked at Dave. "What are we going to do?" I asked. He shrugged. "Look, there's two seats open up front. We'll go take those." I didn't like this. Up front? Where the Great Pretender could see us? This wouldn't end well. But we went down there and sat. When the Great Pretender came out on stage again, he said those words I dreaded to hear... "I need a volunteer from the audience." I sat further back in my seat and did a bit of great pretending myself, trying to be invisible. Suddenly the Great Pretender turned to us! "You, there, sir. Please, come up on stage." Dave glanced at me, and whispered, "But only fools rush in to do magic tricks!" I was just pleased he hadn't asked for me. The Great Pretender laughed in a way that sounded just like Kenneth Brannaugh. "You, sir! Only you (and you alone) shall I have take part in this!" Reluctantly Dave stood up. "If I don't come back," he whispered to me, "tell laura I love her." And he, valiant as ever, walked up on stage to await his fate. I watched as the Great Pretender took a large purple cloth, and held it up. "I shall now, using this sash, make this man's head disappear right off his shoulders!" I gasped. This would be good. The Great Pretender held the cloth between Dave's head and the audience, said a few magic words, and when he whipped away the cloth, Dave's head was gone! There was mixed clapping and shocked gasps, but when the Great Pretender put Dave's head back, the whole house erupted into wild applause. Dave hurried and sat back down by me. "That was weird," he said, feeling at his neck to make sure everything was still in the right place. I laughed and the two of us enjoyed the rest of the show.

It was in the 1950's that it was Only you and you alone, But, I found out that you were the great prentender. I felt like you had given me some love potion no.9. Only fools rush in like that. Don't bother to save the last dance for me. But, tell laura I love her.
