A magician in a top hat and tailcoat stands on a stage before a red curtain, triumphantly holding up a single playing card to a seated audience shown only as purple silhouetted heads. He announces, "You're all holding an ace of spades!" and the unseen audience responds, "Wowwww!" A caption beneath the panel reads: "I love performing at the school for the blind" — the joke being that the audience is blind and can't actually see any of his visual tricks, so they react with awe regardless. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the grinning magician boasting to the same crowd, "You all disappeared and re-appeared, like, fifty times!"
