There's this magician who is working on a ferry, connecting two countries. Every night he performs, at a specific hour. Life is quite easy, because people are new every night and he does not change his act very much. But there is a problem. His parrot, who has learned to talk, starts to understand how the tricks are done. Not only that, the parrot starts shouting, mid performance: "Why are all the cards aces of spades?", "You hid it under the table!", "It's not the same hat!" It's slowly starting to annoy the magician. One day he could not hold himself back, when parrot started revealing yet another trick, and grabs the parrot. At the same time, the ship collides with something, overturns and goes under. It all happens so fast, that people can barely get out. So there the magician is, floating in the middle of the sea for an hour already, parrot calmly sitting on his hair. When finally the parrot breaks the silence: "Fine! I give up. Where did you put the ship?"
