Magic

Today evening, all the staff of my office were told that a magic show has been arranged. We rushed there partly to get some free entertainment and partly to avoid office work.
A young magician, with modest appearance, spoke in Hindi and introduced himself as one Chand. He said he has not studied much and it is a honour for him to perform his tricks before the well learned officers. (The officers duly nodded their head in total agreement as their learning has been accepted by an unlearned man!)
He began his show by converting a small white paper to two crisp Rs.100 notes!. The staff got interested as nothing attracts people as money!. The staff probably wished that if only they learn the trick well they can make some easy money. (Telgi would have preferred a stamp paper instead of Notes.)
Later he performed few nice tricks and unexpectedly sought contributions from the onlookers(staff)!. The officers were unable to wriggle out of the situation and out of peer pressure made contributions (though reluctantly). Thus, the show which started with the illusion of making currency notes out of white paper ended with real notes out of the ego of officers.
