Chapter 6
It was amateur night at Slagger's but Danny O'Bell, the Master of Ceremonies, who thought he had seen it all, had never seen anything like this girl. Most amateur magic acts were just sad to watch, but there didn't seem to be anything this girl couldn't do. Whatever mirrors, pyrotechnics, and projectors she was using must have cost a fortune, so she certainly wasn't doing this because she needed the money.
Watching her in her black fishnets, thigh-high boots, and suggestively tailored tuxedo shirt and jacket, caused his mind to quickly descend to carnal matters.
No. She had everything she needed alright. For him.
Her time was up and so she ended by removing her top hat, saying her magic words gibberish, and then a fountain of pocket watches flew into the air and then popped softly into glowing stars which then floated downwards and vanished just as they were about to reach the floor.
The audience applauded with as much enthusiasm as Danny had ever seen them give anyone, amateur or pro.
Danny crossed the stage and took the microphone from the stand. "I think we may have just seen history being made here tonight ladies and gentlemen. Let's give another big round of applause to Nancy Muller! I think we're going to be hearing a lot more from her." The audience erupted again as Nancy bowed and left the stage.
