In a quiet corner of the city, in the midst of constant hustle and bustle, was a small but charming theater known as "The Corner of Wonders." This theater was not like any other; It was shrouded in an air of mystery and magic that made it one of a kind. Here, artists not only performed, but also defied the laws of reality with their incredible magical abilities.
One night, the theater was packed to capacity, with spectators eager to witness the latest magic show. The murmur of the crowd filled the atmosphere, creating palpable anticipation.

In the audience was a man named Alejandro, an inveterate and somewhat arrogant gambler who thought he could figure out any trick that came his way.
The show began with a roar of music and dazzling lights. The stage lit up and the main magician, known simply as The Magician, appeared.
With his elegant black cape and top hat, The Wizard exuded an imposing and mysterious presence that captured the attention of everyone in the room.
The Magician performed a series of amazing tricks that left the audience speechless. From making objects disappear to guessing thoughts, each act defied logic and dazzled the senses.
However, as the show progressed, Alejandro became increasingly impatient. He was determined to discover the secrets behind The Magician's illusions, convinced that he could unravel his tricks and prove his superiority.
When it came time for one of the most impressive tricks of the night, The Magician invited a volunteer from the audience to join him on stage. With an arrogant smile, Alejandro stood up from his seat and volunteered. He was sure that he could challenge the magician and find out how he performed his tricks.
The Magician welcomed Alexander to the stage with a courteous bow, but his eyes shone with a mischievous spark that indicated he knew exactly what was about to happen. As Alejandro stood in front of the audience, swollen with pride and confidence, The Magician began to prepare the trick.
The trick required Alejandro to choose a card from a deck and keep it secret. The Magician would then perform a series of magical moves before revealing Alejandro's chosen card, seemingly divining his thoughts. However, what Alejandro didn't know was that The Magician had a trick up his sleeve, one specifically designed to teach him a lesson.
With an enigmatic smile, The Magician extended the deck of cards towards Alejandro and instructed him to choose a card, any card at all.
Alexander looked at the cards with a disdainful expression, believing that he could easily overcome this simple trick. He selected a card at random and held it in his hand, convinced that The Wizard had no way of knowing which one he had chosen.
The Magician, however, seemed completely calm as he performed his magical movements with grace and skill. The audience watched in anticipation, waiting for the moment when The Magician would reveal Alexander's card and demonstrate once again his unrivaled skill.
Finally, the climax of the trick arrived. With a dramatic gesture, The Magician extended his hand towards Alejandro and asked him to show the card he had chosen. With a triumphant smile, Alexander showed the card: the ace of spades. He was sure that he had defeated the magician and had demonstrated his cunning.
However, instead of being impressed, The Wizard simply smiled and nodded slowly. Then, with a quick and fluid movement, he pointed towards the chair next to the stage. "I think that's all for tonight," he said quietly.
Confused, Alejandro looked at the chair and then back at the Wizard. What was happening? Why were they sending him to his seat? Before he could say anything, The Wizard continued speaking, his voice echoing in the room.
"You tried to be clever," The Wizard said calmly. "You thought you could decipher my tricks and prove your superiority. But the real magic lies not in the tricks I perform, but in the ability to open your mind and let yourself be surprised by the unknown."
The Magician's words echoed in Alejandro's mind as he sat in his chair, feeling humble for the first time in a long time. He had faced the reality that he could not defy magic with sheer cunning and arrogance. He had learned a valuable lesson that night, one that he would never forget.
Since then, Alejandro became a firm believer in magic and the importance of keeping an open mind in the face of the unknown. And every time he remembered the night The Wizard sent him to his chair, he did so with a heartfelt feeling.
