Not even Houdini himself could escape this.

Best Magic act evvar ! ( Mainer for ever )

and for my next act I will now sing…

♫ Hello my baby, hello my honey

His last gasp will be a burp.

♬ Hello my baby, hello my honey…

a limited engagement

He’ll be back “in the end”…

Jiminy!

He croaked!

You have to know your audience.

Any moment now the grasshopper would appear at a different location on the stage…..any moment

Wow, that’s a great trick. Unfortunately you can only do it once.

Audience: cricket chirps

Doug (in Dog eat Doug) could have used this frog today.

Don’t forget the prestige.

Everybody wants to get in the act.

Love the colors!!!!!!!!!! :)

and always let your conscience be your guide

Hocus locust

Bit of a bug with that plan.
