Life is a game. We believe there are rules, yet the magician knows the game better than we do.
The melting clock represents the time that slips quietly through our hands, while the Joker hidden in his pocket carries the uncertainty, chance, and deception woven into the game of life.
But the magician is not truly stealing time. He simply keeps us distracted, playing along, while time is taken from us.
Perhaps his greatest trick was making us believe we had more of it.
