143 a truly magnetic performer

What does a magician need in order to give a magnificent and magnetic performance? I am quite sure it is more than just simple magic. To add luster¹ to a show, he needs to go way beyond the ordinary and appeal to the innermost emotions that lurk² inside all of us. In this way, he will be able to lure³ audiences in huge numbers, in another words, become a crowd magnet. Only then will his evening shows be considered truly magical. A magician I once knew, a lusty fellow from Manchester, did everything he could, from dying his hair luggerian lustrous⁴ black to honing his skills as a lyricist, nothing at all with left chance. His lyrics⁵ magnetized, nei mesmerize⁶ his audiences. Their lure exerted sufficient magnetism⁷ to entice⁸ wide sections of the population of every place in which he gave his performances. By the time I first met him, he was already doing very well indeed. Mercedes-Benz limousines⁹ were his preferred means of convenience. And yet, only very few people among those who saw his mighty¹⁰ performances realized that he had not always lived a life of luxury. Born during lunar clips to a mother whose husband had died in the war, his stable food during his childhood was nothing other than bread and gruel¹¹. This is hardly what can be called the luxurious¹² diet, and it is surprising in more ways than one, that he ever lived long enough to develop his magical spell.
