You get
A pointed hat, a set of trick rings.
Why did you quit magic?
- Prosecuted: A series of witch hunters swore to have you drowned.
- Debt: While performing a routine stage show, a being born from the shadows cast by your candles offered you power for your soul, mistaking it as a potential part of your act you obliged.
- Loss: You mastered the ability to make things disappear, but you could never find where they went, eventually every pet you ever had was lost to the ether.
- Heckler: One especially insensitive lay-about child always snuck into your shows and would shout just the worst jibes, to the enjoyment of your measly crowd.
- Sabotage: Someone snuck into your storage and ruined your saw box, leading to your on-stage dismemberment of an audience participant.
- Thievery: The look-alike you used for tricks stole your entire routine and has completely drawn your crowd away from you, painting you as the fraud.
What trick was your specialty?
- Mentalism: You have a significant chance of being able to guess a card drawn by another being from a deck in your control.
- Escapery: A few classes of knots pose only a moderate threat to your freedom. You can also probably regurgitate a swallowed key or small item with repulsive frequency.
- Death Defiance: Surviving being submerged for several minutes was something you routinely practiced, or at least you are able to suppress panicking before losing consciousness .
- Levitation: Floating a stationary target weighing no more than 12 stones was a trick you received the least lukewarm applause for.
- Iron Jaws: You’ve discovered the correct technique of eating glass and a variety of other traditionally inedible substances.
- Spiritualism: With a bit of setup, smoke and mirrors, you have a very minor chance of convincing someone that a partner of yours is their deceased loved one.
