In a puff of smoke, Magic Melvin the Magnificent appeared on stage. The audience cheered, it was an amazing feat. Unfortunately, it was also the only trick Melvin could remember. Melvin stood frozen on stage for the next fifteen minutes, as he struggled to remember even the simplest card trick. Finally, he disappeared in another puff of smoke and the show was over.

I might explain this new process in more detail at a later time…
