Presenting to you~ THE MAGIC MAN

A handsome man with dirty blonde hair, blue eyes, sharp facial features along with a red star-shaped birthmark at the corner of his left eye, was dressed in a fancy 3 piece suit.

He stood on a stage and smiled at a huge audience, saying "Yes, thank you, it's quite something to be out here today! Although I seem to have misplaced my hat…" he touched his suit everywhere, searching in his coat pocket before pulling out a black top hat.

He dusted off the hat and let out a breath of relief, saying happily "Would you believe me if I said this was a family heirloom?" the audience chuckled and he flipped the hat, putting it on his head as he pulled out a black and white magic wand, clearing his throat as he said "Alright, time for some magic! Hm?"

He took off his hat and there was suddenly a rabbit on his head!

He said in shock, "Mr. Snuffles?! What are you doing here?" as he picked up Mr. Snuffles, petting him as he continued "Didn't I tell you to wait behind the curtain?" while looking at the audience and pointing at the rabbit with a 'can you believe this guy?' face.

The audience laughed and the man sighed, stuffing Mr. Snuffles back into the hat, saying "Alright, ruined my first trick, I hope you're happy…" he flicked the hat to the side and placed Mr. Snuffles on his head, waving his wand as he said "Now then…"

The people watching froze and clapped in excitement as the hat turned back into Mr. Snuffles!

The man frowned and asked "You there, man with the glasses and hot wife, what just happened? Why is everyone clapping." the man pointed at his head, saying "Rabbit on your head!"

The Magician touched his head strangely before grabbing Mr. Snuffles, saying angrily "Mr. Snuffles! I told you to wait behind the curtain! Wait a minute… You're not Mr. Snuffles!"

He grabbed Mr. Snuffles, who was chewing like a normal rabbit and everything, before flicking him forward, turning the rabbit into a hat!

The audience cheered as the man put the hat on his head again, letting out a breath, "Now then, can we finally start the show? My lord." Suddenly, wings sprouted from the hat and everyone was dumbfounded.

The man stopped and sighed "It's my hat again isn't it… Mr. Snuffles!" as he grabbed the hat, pausing in shock "Huh?! Rabbits can fly now?" as he looked into the hat, saying "Hey! There's nothing in here!"

Then he showed everyone, saying in confusion "This must be my other hat…" he pulled a tag and said "Made in the US… Yeah, definitely not mine…" before making a scared face, adding "All of mine are made in china."

The Audience laughed and the man patted the hat saying "Then let's see who's hat this is!" as he tapped the hat with the magic wand before throwing it over his shoulder, continuing "Abracadabra or something!"

He grabbed the hat and waved it, saying with an apologetic expression "Sometimes you just have to give it a good… flick!" The hat turned into a Dove in an instant and the audience exploded into cheers!

The man sighed "Who's Dove is this? Yours? Sir? Ma'am? Oh I see! So it's yours!" as he pointed to a man in the seats at the back, adding "You, sir! This is your Dove isn't it?"

The man was suddenly under a spotlight and pointed at himself in shock, the Magician said "Yes, you! Don't you see the spotlight? Who else? That Dove next to you?" Everyone was stunned as the man suddenly had a Dove next to him!

He nearly jumped from shock as the Magician said strangely "Sir, please have some measure, to leave your fly down in such a place, what were you doing before?" the man looked down and grabbed his zipper before a Dove flew out of his pants!

The Magician covered his face saying "In broad daylight, sir! Although I appreciate your… um… Enthusiasm? Here, for your unwavering boldness…" he tossed the dove in his hands into the air as it turned back into a hat, landing on the man's hat as he sat there dumbfounded.

The audience stood up and cheered while clapping.

The Magician bowed on the stage, smiling "Yes, thank you. Now for my next trick, I'll need a volunteer. How about you, ma'am?" as he extended a hand to a woman in the front row.

She was shocked and grabbed his hand gingerly, the magician pulled her hand while smiling "Of course, maybe more people will come to my show if such a beautiful woman was my assistant, right?"

The audience chuckled and the Magician asked the woman next to him, "Yes, Ma'am. What is your name?" The woman looked nervous, replying with excitement "Pepper!" The Magician dug his ear, saying "No need to shout, I'm right here. At any rate, my name is Ace, as you already know or you wouldn't be here."

Pepper laughed and Ace smiled, saying "Really, maybe I should have an assistant just like you for my shows? What do you think? Want a new job?" Pepper smiled and shook her head, saying "Sorry, I already have a job."

Ace sighed and said to everyone "It's okay. It's only the 126th time I've been rejected… I'm getting used to it…" as he wiped a tear from his eye while the audience chuckled.

Ace waved and said "But Miss Pepper, you are too perfect, so I have an idea. Please stand in this box." everyone looked around and there was no box anywhere in sight. Ace slapped his forehead, saying "Ah! I forgot to bring the box, hold on just a moment."

He took out a cloth and threw it in the air, it unfurled into a huge silk cloth, slowly falling onto an empty space, but the cloth fell on top of something!

It outlined a tall rectangular box!

The Audience was stunned and Pepper shouted "Oh my god!" Ace chuckled "Please, no religious talk, even God is jealous of my talents." as he pulled the cloth, revealing a tall box with the words 'Clone-o-matic' on it.

He slapped the box and smiled happily "This is what I thought of! To have more folks come to watch me, I'll just clone you real quick, my dear Pepper." Pepper looked at Ace with strange eyes.

He coughed and whispered "This is the part where you say 'There's no need, I'll be your assistant forever.'..." The Audience laughed and Pepper shook her head.

Ace sighed again, saying "Then please, Ms Pepper. If you could kindly step into the box." as he opened the door to the audience, waving his hand inside. Pepper looked dubious and walked into the box.

Ace cleared his throat, saying "Alright! Well, some rules first. No thrashing, jumping, fighting, inventing, eating, bathroom breaks, existential crises, and/or drug dealing in my box. It's very expensive." Pepper giggled and gave him a thumbs up.

Ace smiled "Don't worry, you won't feel a thing!" as he closed the door, turning to the audience as he pointed his thumb at the box, whispering into the mic "Now that I'm not distracted, let's get on with the show, right?"

The Audience chuckled and Ace pouted "You want to see her again, right? You came for the Pepper show, right? Typical!" as he slapped the box, saying "Ms Pepper, my show can't go on without you."

Pepper walked out of the box with a confused look on her face.

Ace sighed and pointed to the audience, saying "It's them… Um. By the way, I said 'Pepper, come out'."

Another Pepper walked out from behind the box with the same confused look on her face as the Audience fell silent, staring with wide eyes.

Pepper shouted "Oh my! It's me!?" the other Pepper shouted "Oh my! It's me!?"

Ace rubbed his forehead and said "Well, let's just call you Pepper 2, okay? Or maybe Salt? Salt is better."

The Other Pepper, ah no, Salt pouted "Why am I Salt?" Pepper looked at her and said in shock "How did you do that?!" Ace smiled and said "A Magician never reveals his tricks, right?" as he escorted Pepper back to the seating area, adding "Thank you very much, Pepper. Let's give Pepper a round of applause, everyone!"

He clapped along with the rest of the Audience while Salt bowed "Thank you! Thank you!" Ace froze and shouted "Not you! The real Pepper!" Salt said angrily "I am the REAL Pepper!"

Ace sighed and rubbed his temples, saying "The difficulties of cloning, people." The audience laughed and cheered as Salt sauntered around, waving like the queen would.

Ace let out a breath and said "Salt! Get back here!" Salt snorted "Hmph! No~!" Ace frowned and said "Hold on a second… I'd recognize that snort from anywhere! Mr. Snuffles?!"

As he ran over and grabbed Salt's arm, pulling her entire body off like a cloth, revealing a rabbit standing on its hind legs!

The Audience exploded into crazed cheering and applause as they couldn't wrap their heads around what just happened!

Ace picked up the rabbit and sighed "Ah yes, this is the Mr. Snuffles I'm familiar with. This texture, this feeling… mhm…" he flicked the rabbit and it turned into a top hat as he placed it on his head, bowing "Thank you all so much for coming to my show! Goodnight!"

He took off his hat and a flurry of cards burst from the hat, drawing Ace's figure as he disappeared into thin air!

The Audience stood up and clapped, cheering crazily!
