Houdini

The magician's apprentice spared the premium seats
And watched from the back of the balcony.
His intuition terrified him to his core.
The master was bolder tonight than he'd previously dared.
'Constrain me by the bounds of space and time!'
He had earlier declared,
'And watch me laugh at those feeble cuffs.
For soon I travel the stars.'
Now a hush settled upon the audience.
And just like that, he was dead.
