Imagine THIS, Friends! Big School Magic Show. All going wonderfully. Excited kids! You're building to your GRAND FINALE...pulling a RABBIT out of a HAT. The wound-up audience is magically waving their hands, while the onstage volunteers wave their wands in joyous anticipation. You bring out your hat (in preparation to produce the real rabbit...)Suddenly, literally SECONDS before the rabbit is about to appear...THE SCHOOL FIRE ALARM GOES OFF!!!! πThe staff can't believe it either. The whole school goes outside. Turns out it was a 'false alarm' (some prankster pulled it). Just the same, procedure had to be followed, with the fire department arriving to search every room. This was the scene this morning at Kingswood Elementary. (First time THIS has happened to me in over 20 years of Magic Shows!)Luckily, after the loooooong time spent just waiting outside, we all returned back in, and Mr. J got to produce the rabbit. The 'Big Finish' still went very well...delayed as it was!Y'know, it just goes to show: Life is full of RANDOM, unexpected surprises. Don't know about you, but I like to believe this is a good thing. Even though not all are 'good' surprises, the unexpected certainly gives Life flavour. Like MAGIC. πOne last thing: While the entire school and myself were assembled outside (yours truly in full tuxedo, under the hot sun (!) ), waiting for the firefighters to allow us back in, one young child said: "Hey, Mr. J! Why don't you just make the rabbit appear OUTSIDE?" "Yeah!" added another, "Make the rabbit HERE, while we're waiting! Aren't you supposed to be a Magician??" (!)Some teachers looked at me, smiling, as I replied: "Ummmm, well, look, you guys...I'd like to...but, you see...I can't because, I forgot my HAT inside!" π#Magic #Magician #BirthdayMagic #BirthdayForKids #KidsBirthdayParty #BirthdayMagician #TheAmazingMisterJ #DavidJolly #Halifax #NovaScotia #Birthday #HalifaxBirthday #KidsBirthdayIdeas #BirthdayTheme #PartyTheme #KidsMagic #CleanMagic #MagicianForHire #MagicianForKids #KidsMagician #MagicianForEvent #Joy #Fun #LifeIsMagic #Laughter #LiveAnimals #Balloons #LifeIsRandom Mr. J Photo Credit: Ratchford Photographic #CapeBretonPhotographer #RatchfordPhotographic Wishing you Joy, Laughter & Magic!-David Jolly "The Amazing Mr. J- Magician & Entertainer"PHONE: 782-414-3612 (A Nova Scotia number! π CALL anytime, for more info, and bookings)WEBSITES (with CONTACT e-mail links for you):www.misterj.ca/(All-Ages Magic Shows/Live Animals/Balloon Art for: Kids Birthdays, Schools, Festivals, Malls, Campgrounds, Libraries, and MORE!)www.amazingmisterj.ca/(Clean Comedy Magic for Adults: Corporate events, Universities/Colleges, Adult House Parties/Kitchen Parties, High Schools/teens, Seniors, MC, Trade Shows, Adult events, Walk-around Magic, Bachelor/Bachelorette, Weddings, and MORE!)www.halifaxmagician.ca/SOCIAL MEDIA:Facebook: www.facebook.com/misterjmagicTwitter: twitter.com/AmazingMisterJInstagram: www.instagram.com/theamazingmisterj/TikTok: tiktok.com/@theamazingmisterj/LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/theamazingmisterj/YouTube Channel: www.youtube.com/channel/UCTOLa5EKW2ZrAx2-Y2EdSqA...
