Stage Fright

“Now presenting Mike the Magician.”

I imagined them all in their underwear.

Breathe in 

Breathe out 

I take my first step

It's show time.

“It kinda funny that my name is Mike the Magician 

when I'm actually a comedian.” 

Silence.  

“You know what's really funny?”

“My mom actually thinks I’m a magician, not a comedian”

Silence.

“If only she knew that I wasn’t actually pulling scarves out my mouth,”

Silence.

“Well”

Silence 

“Urm”

Silence.  

Their clothes start to appear again 

Breathe in 

Breathe out

Silence.
