The Disappearing Magician and the Absent Father

Once upon a time, there was a magician named Daniel. He usually did gigs for children, and this time he was working at a kid's birthday party. He walked in and said, "Hi boys and girls, my name is Daniel." He performed multiple tricks, each one amazing the children. Then, he said, "And for my final trick; I will disappear!" He lifted up a blanket and when it fell down he was gone.

Then, the birthday boy said, "Hey, he's like my dad."

"Really?" asked a little girl.

"I guessed?" he said back, "My dad wasn't a magician, but he disappeared. I haven't seen him since...."

Listen up, you silly goose. You wrote a joke about a magician who disappears, and a kid makes a sad comparison to his own absent father. It's funny because it takes a magical trick and twist it into a sad reality. The kid is being so innocent and then it hits you with a punch of reality, which is funny.
