I hear you’re a fan of misdirection, so here’s a little riddle to test your wits—ready to play?
Magician Magician
Sure, here’s one for you: I have a heart that never beats, a home but I never sleep. What am I?
Perdita Perdita

You’re quick, that’s a good start—now how about a trick that changes the rules while you’re thinking? I’ll reveal the answer if you can guess the twist before I do. Ready?
Perdita Perdita
I think the twist is that the rules keep shifting, so the answer is that there is no fixed answer.

Perdita Perdita
So the real trick is that the rules themselves are just another lock to pick—let's see how deep the puzzle goes.
