Dan Michael, the Master Magician.

Jao Mapa: How long have you been a magician?

Dan Michael: Well it depends. Sometimes 2 minutes, sometimes 10 minutes, and minsan 10 hours long.

JM: No no no, you didn’t get the question. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A MAGICIAN?

DM: Ah, it depends. See, sometimes you have a cards and sometimes there’s a dram.

(long pause)

DM: You didn’t get the answer.

JM: It’s okay.

JM: Are you familiar with black magic?

DM: Yes, in fact I’m a black magic. Because my favorite color is a black and I am a master magician. So I myself is a black magic. Sometimes I’m a red magic because I am wearing a red swimming trunks.

JM: What’s the difference between black and red magic?

DM: The color itself. Swimming trunks, and the favorite color black.

JM: Which is more powerful? The black or the red?

DM: You know, the cards are two. The black and the red. So there is red for the hearts and diamonds, and black for ah like this one (shows a queen of spades). That’s why there are two magics in the market today.

JM: Okay, do you know David Blaine?

(long awkward pause)

DM: I don’t know him! (throws cards on floor and walks away. Comes back and wrecks the set).
