As always, a dazzling way into a story, through your magnifying lens held to one seemingly small sentence that opens up a whole new view, stunningly clear. The magic show metaphor is terrific!
Among the great writers who aren't prolific, Edward P. Jones is one of my favorites. Most readers know "The Known World" but his short story collections are just as magnificent. Thanks for shining light on one.

A beautiful story, and you’ve captured it (and the writer/self) beautifully ❤️
Now you've done it. I'm addicted.
