Magicians and politicians, what you see, may not be what you get.
Yes, some of the most interesting characters you will have ever met.
Sleight of hand, campaign promise, an illusion or for real?
When done right, they both have that magical appeal.
An ace up the sleeve, they both let you believe,
An act set up to professionally deceive.
With either one, there may be a pocket to pick.
And done right, the presentation is so slick.
With either one, you know you can be had.
With one expected, and the other so sad.
