KIRBY'S LIVE MAGIC SHOW!
"Right!" said Kirby. "Welcome back to Kirby's Magic Show – or should I say, my Magic Show!"
A couple of people in the audience laughed uncertainly.
Kirby walked over to the side of the stage, and checked the 'Laughing Gas' switch. It was on.
"That's funny," said Kirby. "Uh… Kirby's Magic Show – that is, my Magic Show!"
The audience didn't really laugh.
Kirby walked backstage, pulled out the empty laughing gas cylinder, and replaced it with a full tank.
Kirby walked back onstage.
"Kirby's Magic Show?" said Kirby. "More like, my magic show!"
The audience roared with laughter.
"Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week," said Kirby, taking a little bow.
The audience cheered.
"Right!" said Kirby. "My next trick is going to be a quick one, because I need time to prepare for the next one, which is absolutely huge in scale. You'll all be blown away."
The audience waited.
"Okay," said Kirby, "I need a volunteer to step into the vanishing cabinet!"
Lots of people put their hands up.
"I said," said Kirby, annoyed, "the vanishing cabinet!"
He waved his arms, and a few stagehands wheeled a cabinet onstage. It looked as if it had been stolen from IKEA. Which obviously wasn't true, as Kirby was too chic for IKEA.
Kirby pointed at a random audience member, who climbed onto stage.
"Hi," said the person, who was some random teenager dressed up as a Yoshi.
"And who exactly are you?" said Kirby.
"I'm the world's number one Yoshi fan!" said the kid, jumping up and down.
"Oooooo-kay," said Kirby. He shoved the volunteer into the vanishing cabinet.
The audience waited.
"Uh, insert something witty here," said Kirby.
The audience laughed because they were now inhaling pure laughing gas.
Kirby opened the vanishing cabinet.
The volunteer was still there.
"Oops," said Kirby, stepping inside the cabinet and closing the door behind him.
The audience held their breaths in anticipation, and because they'd choke on laughing gas otherwise.
Kirby stepped out of the cabinet. The volunteer was gone.
"Yay!" prompted Kirby.
"YAY!" screamed the audience.
"Uh, ad break," said Kirby.
Ka-bang.
