Three shows in one day

Wow! This is good stuff! I'm a busy magician these days :) Making some pesos too!

First gig was weird and kinda akward. This guy wanted a Magician for his dad's birthday. He says its at his house. Then he calls me and says it's at a restaurant. At ten.

I went there and i knew how it was going to be beforehand. There was no place for a 45' show. All i could do was close up among tables. Problem was that i had another gig at 11 and these guys hadn't started dinner yet! GOSH! (Napoleon Style).

I ended up doing close-up for the kids.

My second gig was HILARIOUS man. I was a fish in the water. I was a shark!
We all had lots of fun. I was very alive and kicking. Great entertainment.

The third show was a very good one too. It was hilarious too but in a different way.
Audience was conformed mainly by young adults. Somehow i'm intimidated by crowded formed this way. I fear lots of young people in a same room.

Anyway the show was going ok untill i found a jewel in the audience. I found my passport to a comedy show. I found the funny old lady in the room and incorporated her to my ranks. We were batman and robin. Zoolander and Hansel. Ying and Yang.

I've noticed that old people are generally very funny. Same thing with children. Both (by antagonic motives) are way past everything. They certainly don't give a fuck about anything in a very peacefull, spontaneous and charming way.

This little old lady with gray hair named Fanny (i would have not been surprised at all had she said she owned a little yellow canary named 'Twitty') was friggin hilarious. Her comebacks were delightfull. She was the other half of the show.

She was a super granny. Her responses were unpredictable. Her timing was great. Her audience management and wise use of running gags were amazing. She was an endless pit of humorous bits.

After the applause garnered by a bill appearing in a bag which she was holding i summoned her onstage and we both took a bow.

Great stuff.
