Try Again

Spot the Name Dropping

The Value of a Secret!



In magic only the effect matters to the audience. Since they don't know anything about methods that is all they can care for. This is quite a dilemma, because often the methods to achieve those effects are more interesting than the effect itself. I call those bad magic tricks.

Daily Duty



This probably is how Cathy got to be in my show. That brushed aside it actually deals with a real issue here. Often we magicians do something to our audience that is not good for them We embarrass them with a joke, we scare them with a spider or actually make them think that we ripped apart their money.

They are gonna love me!




Aside from the meanness of the joke it refers to a real issue here. Often I hear magicians complain that the audience declined the offer to be shown some magic. This often hurts the magician. But often those magicians fail to understand that sometimes people really do not want to see any magic.

This strip also features the first appearance of "Cathy" who later got to be the female assistant on stage. Just imagine that after she understood that she cannot bear any children she needed a change in her life. And being the female assistant of a magician, was the was to go.
