Go Bang

The first appearance of the strange, masked magician at his unusual sideshow performance... a performance that, as Fate may have it, Josanna finds herself a part of. A riot of music and illusion, "The Magician" draws you into his dark world.

***
THE MAGICIAN

Out of the dark
Steps a man
In a mask
With fire in his smile
And an empty hand
And you wonder, as you shiver
(But you'd never dare to ask)
What will you see
What magic... under his command

Sorcerer
(Sorcerer!)
Conjuror!
(Conjuror!)
Master of
Illusive mystery...
Just believe in me

Between the place where genius lurks
And the place where madness lies
This is the place you now find yourselves
-Under my thrall-
As reality unwinds

I am the voice you hear at night
I am the wonder in your fright
I can show you things
That you've only dared dream
I can astound you, and excite you
I can amaze you, and delight you
I can make you gasp... I can make you scream
(In wonder, of course-)
Believe in me

And now, for my most... spectacular... illusion
I will need...
A volunteer

DAPHNE (whispering)
You should go up there!
Josanna, go on!

THE MAGICIAN
Not just any volunteer...
There must be a pretty girl here with us...

DAPHNE (pushing at her)
Josanna, go on!

THE MAGICIAN (noticing)
What's your name?

JOSANNA (unwillingly)
Josanna

THE MAGICIAN
Step up here... don't be shy...

The young lady puts her trust in me...
How touching...
Ladies and gentlemen, we now close her
Inside the casket

And now
The question:
Will she survive the blade?
Ladies and gentlemen, please... be still
Open the box

Behold!

You have been hypnotized
(Hypnotized!)
Mesmerized
(Mesmerized!)
And brought
Into my world

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you...
Thank you very much...
Thank you, Josanna
Josanna....
