The magician looked smart in his top hat and black jacket with the coat tails. Exactly how a professional modern mage should look. He exuberated confidence and arrogance, he knew exactly what he could do. He could achieve feats mere mortals could only dream about.

"Dear sir, would you assist me?"

I gladly complied. My feet carried me up the steps and on to the stage.

"Would you hand me feelings?"

Without hesitation, he grabbed feelings from my hand and threw them into his top hat.

I knew what was coming.

"Abracadabra!"

*poof*

My feelings were gone.
