"My turn for riddles, then. My illusions aren't nearly so sophisticated as yours, but they're not bad." Merlin created a montage of images shimmering in the air in front of him- a bright sword in a stone, a round table, a cave in which he had been trapped for all time- except he wasn't, now. Somehow a gif image of a wizard dancing from a Disney movie worked its way in there too, and he waved it away with annoyance. Of course, his eyes flashed gold when he did magic these days thanks to that TV show, so he had that to add to the mystique.
