That just reminded me I was going to make a BotNS effort post but forgot most of what I was going to write. :saddowns: It was about how Severian continually mistakes genuine miracles for sleight of hand (the decapitation and resurrection at his ascension ceremony) and then mistakes sleight of hand for a miracle (the beach full of Claws).

How do we know the decapitation wasn't a a slight of hand?
