He shook the other man's hand as he approached. "Good show, don't think I've seen anything quite like it before."

He glanced around, and back to the man. "There's always been something about being able to use just hands and mind to enspell a crowd, without any powers or magic added, that has been a thrill to me. It almost puts the real thing to shame."

His eyes glittered with amusement.
"Perhaps on a special occasion, to do something fantastic."

having nothing ultimately pressing, and welcoming further distraction with certain events lingering on his processor mind, the jet-turned-man watches the crowd with some curiousity of his own. and as ever, he doesn't pay much attention to those eyeing him back. red eyes are enough to catch attention, but add that to a habit of dressing as though he's from the victorian age...]

So it is only natural that he would approach the man dressed and looking so with a smile, and an extended hand. "Greetings, friend. I hope you did enjoy the show!"
Reply
He offers his own hand to take the other's, bowing his head with a smile. "Indeed, it was quite the show. I've never seen anything like it before."

"Thank you! there are several other performers in the city, some far more skilled than I. I am glad you enjoyed the show. It's what I like to hear."

He was glad to see her, as she seemed, among many here, to share many of his own thoughts and similar ideas, from cooking to magic. It was rather nice to see someone you could talk to, and be around, without feeling self-conscious.
Even if some of his older friends would have looked him askance for being friends with a lady so very much younger than himself.

"It was more than worth it," she said lightly. "Very impressive. I'm glad I came."

"Come, whether laws permit alcohol or not, they cannot permit two people from a good strong tea, together." He gestured toward the bar, unwilling to give up her company jus6t because she could have no drinks.

He wished Pym and the others could be here to see this, but they weren't, and he hadn't brought anyone with him. James waited around after the show, quietly watching the rest of the crowd that had stuck around.

In a way, John wished James knew a little magic himself. Belief and will like that would have made him a force for good that would have staggered those dark forces that existed.
Nonetheless, he was glad to see him, and he approached him with a smile.

"Hey. Good to see you too. Great show," James said, still smiling. The magic shows were a lot more fun than movies or anything else James had seen so far.
"Where did you learn how to do that?"
Reply
"Thank you. Nice to have an appreciative audience." He grinned at the question.
"From books, and my grandfather, and from watching other magicians work."

He'd hoped the invitation extended to the import crowd would help him keep a low profile but he inevitably draws a small crowd once the show has finished. He takes it like a man, of course, shaking hands and charming his way though, always with one eye on the crowd for an old family friend.]

"Bruce! It's good to see you. Come, I've got a bottle of a very old vintage, one that isn't even sure it's still alcohol, waiting. While I would hate to pluck you form your friends here, I am afraid I must."
It is with the skill of a man who has dealt with politics and people for nearly a century, that he extracts Bruce, and with a grin, that he begs the pardon of those who were speaking with him.

"That's alright, John. I had come to see you, after all." He follows Zatara's step, hands slung into his pockets. "Quite a show tonight."

A subtle wiggle of his fingers, and they were surrounded by a wall of disinformation. Their movements, lips, and voices would not show as speaking what they were speaking while the spell lasted.
