SANTO: Greetings, I am Santo the Magnificent and welcome to my staaaage of mystery. You are about to witness feats of magic, illusion and other spooky stuff…. Ladies and gentlemen, do you believe in mental telepathy? “No” I hear you think. I will now put a blindfold on Mick. I will go into the audience and select things at random. Then I will communicate with my mind to Mick what those things are…OK Mick. (grabs a pen) what have I got ink my hand?
MICK: A pen!
SANTO:...What have I got in my hand this time? (a watch)
MICK: A magazine!
SANTO: You’re gonna have to concentrate a little harder. Mick (cough) what have I got (cough) in my hand this time? (cough) (cigarettes)
MICK: Uh..a packet of..(laughs)
SANTO: A packet of? Yes concentrate…
MICK: A packet of butter menthols!
SANTO: I will make you disappear. Mickey, step into my disappearing booth. Get inside and, (closes curtains, then opens them)
hey presto, he’s back!.....Take a seat please. In an amazing feat of hypnotism I will now put Mick’s leg to sleep. Mick..cross your legs really hard. Actually this is gonna take too long. Don’t worry about it.

PEOPLE are often astounded by the phenomena of levitation! ...Lie down on my meditation couch. I will now make Mick rise into the air. Rise Mick. Rise up into the air oh Mick (Santo then squats giving the impression that Mick has risen)
For centuries people have been astounded by juggling. Tonight I will juggle eight different fruits-eight! Mick..pass me the (can of)fruit salad.

Excuse me, do you have a $10 note? I will tear this note in half. I will tear it one more time. I will tear it a third time. Now I will say the magic words… I’m sorry.

Ladies and gentlemen, be waiting next week when I will attempt to lie on a bed of nail…clippings. I am Santo the Magnificent and you have been witnessing my staaaage of mystery.
