He was a chump doing tricks at his local trailer
That was until he found a relic so powerful and dark.
It was a pitch black cape, and it made his dreams come true.
When he wore it, he did amazing magic and his secret, no one knew.
It was said to be Houdini's, a renowned magician,
And it did do what Houdini could, with one omission.
The cape needed power, it needed to be fed,
So the man gave his assistants to be the cape's bread.
A sacrifice now and then, and this magician kept his magic,
That was until he met a fate that was gory, but not so tragic.
When you mess with demons, you can only have a dark fate.
Who is this magician that was proven to be great?
