When the Great Mysterio, the famous magician, was brought into my lab I almost laughed. He was still wearing the tux from his debut performance in our city. It looked so bizarre. He had several feet of multi-colored handkerchief streaming out of his pocket and the feathers from a dove on his lapel. The most surreal moment of my professional career.

Mysterio collapsed onstage in front of a capacity crowd. He was pronounced dead on the scene. Everyone was questioning how he died.

But I had a better question: How did his corpse suddenly disappear out of my morgue?
