A Mexican Magician

A mexican magician tells his audience, "I will disappear on the count of three." He counts down.. "Uno... dos..." And then he disappears, without a tres.

Well, the joke pretends to be ingenious, however, in my own opinion, it fails because never in the world the pronounciation of "tres" and "trace" is the same.

Believe me, I never pronounce these words equally (I am a native Spanish speaker).
