Not just to "fool you," as that is rarely necessarily my goal in magic. My goal is pretty much to entertain and, more importantly, to make people laugh. And I do that....well. Yes, I have a lot of stock lines that I use in my act. But I am going to give myself props about one thing. My friend Frank blows a lot of smoke up my ass about my act, but one thing he is right about is that more than any magician I know or have seen, I have the quickest wit when responding to the audience. I come up with shit that a lot of times even I'M impressed with, sometimes with it coming out of my mouth before I realize how hilarious and/or brilliant it is. Some of my best lines, and most of my "stock" lines, have come about because of what someone in the audience said, and my immediate reaction to it. And that lends itself to my main goal with magic, which is one of my main goals in life: making people laugh.
And I would love to provide that kind of entertainment for all of you one day. To make you all laugh and give you a memorable experience.
Except for Dave. He ruined my vacation, because he wouldn't get the beach re-raked for me, OR reposition the sun the way I wanted it. And he wouldn't refund my non-refundable deposit. Damn him. I'm going to have to call his manager and get him fired.
