[AUDIO / ACTION FOR PEOPLE OUT AND ABOUT IN THE CIRCUS]

Oh! well-- I might suggest that if any of you are wearing anything, ah, flammable, you might want to. Sit a little further back. Just in case, I mean, one never knows...

All right, and as you see, there's nothing in the hat now, nor under it... But, let me just cover it with my mystical ( Read more... )

[And Phale gets a slow, slow clap from a guy in a suit. Ironic applause is still applause, right?]

mr_phale May 24 2009, 23:46:55 UTC

[Certainly it is, especially when the performer is in the throes of desperation. Well, someone is paying attention! Better than nothing.]

You, sir! By any chance might you have upon your person a pocket handkerchief?

onlyteasing May 24 2009, 23:50:52 UTC

Not at the moment, I'm afraid.

mr_phale May 25 2009, 00:28:09 UTC

Oh...

[He looks mildly concerned for a moment.]

Are you-- ah-- certain? You might check your pocket...

*raises a brow - Road must have hired the Phaleure solely for comedic purposes*

[That assumption would be correct in some ways, incorrect in others... Aziraphale is currently trying to calm the poor dove, before it gives itself a heart attack and passes on. Er, again.]

[video] horrible_protag May 25 2009, 00:18:56 UTC

Well, that was certainly . . . unique.

[video] mr_phale May 25 2009, 01:07:39 UTC

Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[video] horrible_protag May 25 2009, 01:16:18 UTC

Do you do any other tricks?

[video] mr_phale May 25 2009, 05:20:06 UTC

Er-- well, most of them go a little better in person...

Hold on...

[Aziraphale picks up a battered top-hat, the home until recently of a rather confused dove, and tilts it forward to show that it is once again empty.]

Oh, that sounds magical.

mr_phale May 25 2009, 05:22:34 UTC

Well, of course. Er, though not the occult kind, you know.

princess_crow May 25 2009, 22:47:12 UTC

Occult kind? What is your magic about?

mr_phale May 26 2009, 02:35:39 UTC

Well, you know. Prestidigitation.

[Here, have a witch. He's watching the trick, and he gives him a little clap. The guy is clearly trying]

mr_phale May 25 2009, 05:26:31 UTC

Ah, thank you!

[The applause wins a modest smile, and Aziraphale lights upon his next victim assistant happily.]

Why-- tell me, what is that behind your ear?

[It's an old and simple trick, and thus, fated to end disastrously.]

repeatshimself May 25 2009, 05:27:56 UTC

Oh, well. Probably dirt.

[But he's playing along, right?]

mr_phale May 26 2009, 02:37:31 UTC

You should be careful, you know what they say about cleanliness...

[He reaches forward cheerily, but before he's crossed half the distance, a coin falls out of his sleeve. Followed by another. Followed by several more. They clink onto the pavement, rolling a short distance and utterly failing to seem magically produced from anyone's ears.]
