This puzzle was made by a couple of magicians. One has transformed ten of the Across grid entries; the other has caused something to appear out of nowhere in ten of the Down grid entries. The magicians themselves cross in the grid, but the clues for those two entries don’t give names as definitions; in fact, they consist of only cryptic wordplay or a secondary definition. In addition to the magicians, nine clue answers are capitalized.
