I promised myself I wouldn't start a story until I was done with one, but my musings had other ideas. The idea for the story hit me when I was watching the magic awards. (There wasn't anything else on) I hope you like it!
"Get BACK!" Whips the musings while holding up a chair. "Yes I know you have ideas... Oh crud... Ahhh!"
Disclaimer I do not own Danny Phantom.
Chapter One: Getting into the Business
Sixth months earlier...
"Come now Daniel, you have to be rational!" Danny Fenton sat bored before his uncle as they Discussed his career in magic. His uncle had never liked his parents profession and absolutely hated Danny following in their footsteps. "I mean really, your father was one thing but.."
"My father was a great magician!" Danny yelled angrily. "I don't care if you won't sponsor me I can make it on my own!" And with that Danny ran out of the room slamming the door behind him. Vlad stared vaguely at the door not really believing what just happened. Danny had been stubbornly set on continued in his parents footsteps, since the accident , but really magic? He shook his head, just a bunch of tricks of the hand. He sighed and headed for bed.
Present day...
" To most people, magic is a trick of the fingers, entertainment for the easily entertained... But magic does have some truth within it, some things can't be explained in the Hollywood magic trade especially. So whether you believe what you see or see only what you believe enjoy!" Tucker Foley finished his speech, and with a explosion of smoke and light, was gone.
"Nice job Tucker," Whispered behind him. Tucker turned around in surprise, but saw no one.
"You'd think I would get used to that..." He mumbled as he watched Valerie introducing herself then Danny to the stage.
"And now the first seventeen year magician, Danny Houdini!" There was applause then a flash of smoke. Danny appeared, and Tucker sighed, no matter how much he nagged him, Danny always wore jeans, and a white shirt with a red circle on it. At least this time he wore a black cape and top hat.
"Welcome one and all to the show! I won't waste your time with introductions so on with the show" Danny lit a match, that appeared from within his sleeve, and lit a torch. He looked at the crowd menacingly as the organ music began. With a wave of his hand the fire turned a ghostly green. He took the now flaming staff and threw it into the air, it spun and disappeared. In it's place a fiery circle of emerald, floated in the air. The small crowd gasped, then applauded. With a smile Danny flipped backwards up into the air , his raven black hair barely grazing the bottom of the ring. More applause. Danny smiled and with another wave of his hand the ring lowered. Valerie, now appearing from stage left dressed in a sparkling black dress, waved her hands over and around the flaming circle to show it wasn't hanging by a rope. Danny then pulled out a large black sparkling sheet from nowhere and quickly covered the ring. Danny lifted his hands and the sheet caught on fire. The black burned away, uncovering a white tiger, in the middle of the flaming green hoop. It roared as the crowd cheered loudly, cat calls were heard around the stage, as Danny bowed. Danny quickly grabbed the tiger by a chain and with snap, was gone.

"Dude, that was a great show!" Tucker said over pizza that night. "We might actually make it in this town." Danny smiled widened as Tucker forced almost half the pizza down his throat. Valerie glared at him.
"I couldn't have done it without you guys." he said thankfully as he sipped his coke "Thanks you guys." Tucker nodded, and Valerie blushed.
"Aw, come on Danny you do all the work..."
"Hey! I do all of the special effects and help him come up with the tricks!" Tucker said loudly, Danny chuckled.
"So you admit you're a geek?" Danny said smiling. "You help with all of the sound and smoke, I actually do the tricks!" Tucker crossed his arms as if ignoring him. "Hey great job today Val,"
"Oh, it was nothing.." she said blushing again. "So you said you had an idea for us?"
"Oh, yeah..." Danny cleared his throat. "You guys think we could take it to the streets? We'd still have the show, we would just do this for ya know extra." He stoped reading there faces.
Valerie answered first "I don't know Danny, it would be hard to do and..."
"We'll do it!!" Valerie glared at Tucker again as Danny chuckled.
"Then it's decided, we take Danny Houdini's show to the streets!"
