The Statue

It's Magic!

Puff, into thin air
Liberty disappeared!
Was it sleight of hand ?

Hypnotic influence?
On iron and steel structure?
Unbelievable!

Copperfield it is
The gullible,the victim
Paid to be hoodwinked

Inspired by Haiku Heights Prompt #65 - Hypnotic

  4. Seen that show too. Nice one!

    Wish i can do magic for real. I will surely erase the bad things and replace it with what can make people happy.

  8. I've not seen it in reality, but your take has an hypnotic effect all its own.
