Well, Jeb Dexter died last night. Approximately the same time as Jay did his act. Dean and Karina waited in the lobby for Sam to come in. The police and the coroner were moving the dead body just in time the moment he approached them. Sam said, "Hey."

Karina informed him, "Maid found Jeb hanging from the ceiling fan, so the police thought it was a suicide." She reached down in her jacket pocket, "If it was a suicide, then why it's there in the scene?" She pulled out a tarot card, featuring The Hanged Man.

Sam pulled a card from Karina's hand and he looked closely at it, "On Dexter's body?"

"Yep. We were thinking that if the spell is death cards, maybe these cards dealt with black magic."

Sam passed the card back to Karina while he asked, "Any connection between the victims?"

Dean answered, "Jeb was a total douchebag to Jay yesterday."

"What about the first vic? Vance?"

"Asked around. Apparently, Vance was heckling Jay at the bar the day he was killed."

Sam nodded understandably as he walked along with them, "Okay, so Jay sneaks a card into Vance's pocket, does the table of death..."

Karina finished, "Vance took 10 swords to his chest."

"Then Jay slips a noose and Jeb doesn't. Hell of a trick."

"Yeah, I think it's time we had a little chat with Jay." Dean asked Sam, "Any luck tailing him?"

Sam struggled with his words, "He slipped me."

Dean and Karina eyed each other before Dean commented. "He's 60-years-old."

"He's a magician."

Karina honestly commented, "That's the dumbest excuse you ever made." Sam blankly stared at Karina then she walked away. Sam and Dean followed her lead up the stairs.

Later on, Jay walked down the hallway by himself. He entered his room in the hotel. From that moment on, the trio popped out at the edge. Peeking by making sure it was safe, then they hurriedly ran to the room. Each member had their weapons, then Dean kicked the door.

Jay was unexpectedly terrified by the outburst as the trio aimed their weapons at him. His hands were up as they started interrogating him. Dean ordered him to go against the wall.

"God, who are you? What do you want?"

Karina yelled, "Now!" Jay followed the order while his hands were still up.

"We know what you've been up to," said Sam.

"You've been working some real bad mojo to jump-start your act," said Dean.

Jay looked at them, shocked and suspicious. "What? I don't know what you're talking about."

"Stop with the crap, and get real for a second, alright? We all know what you had been doing magic on those tarot cards," said Karina.

Dean asked, "Messing with real magic?"

"Real magic?" Jay repeated as he smirked in disbelief. "Come on, there's no such thing as real magic."

"Oh, is that so?"

"Yeah, believe me. I've been around this stuff my whole life. It's all just-- it's--it's illusions. It's tricks." Jay took a step when the guns and knives went on alert, "It--it's all fake."

"Jeb Dexter strung up-- was that just an illusion?"

Jay looked at Dean, shocked. "What? Something happened to Jeb?"
