The Lestrades are certain they have their man, but ever-observant Sherlock is not so sure. There is no body, but there has certainly been a grisly death. That, plus the fact that Nottingham has stolen Hemsworth's wife away, speak of foul play and motive. The Wizard is missing his spectacles and chunks of flesh have been discovered in pools of blood in Hemsworth's secret workshop. It seems one-upmanship has not been as satisfying to Hemsworth as the notion of murder. Sherlock and Irene rush backstage after the show to meet the great man, only to witness Inspector Lestrade and his son arrest the performer. He even outshines the Wizard of Nottingham, his rival on and off the stage. This single, fantastic illusion elevates the previously unheralded magician to star status, making him the talk of London.
They are celebrating Irene's sixteenth birthday at the Egyptian Hall as Alistair Hemsworth produces a real and very deadly dragon before their eyes. Sherlock Holmes and Irene Doyle are as riveted as the rest of the audience.
