So You Want To Play Jokes Huh?
Another story from my sideshow days I am sure you will enjoy.
Okay, so on the show you never knew what was going to happen, we had a show that just kept going from open to close - act after act after act.
Well, my cousin Jim always set the magic props for me and everything was loaded and ready to go.
One night Jim and Doc Batman thought it might be fun to try some new things.
In my dove pan they placed 5 live mice.
I do the show and as I am getting ready to produce my doves, out pops five live mice which run down my arm and all over the stage...
I am sure I jumped a little and the audience...
they jumped alot.
Live Mice are now running everywhere and so are the people in the show..
..
screaming..
...
Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! I get to the 'head chop' part of the routine where I bring a girl up - pretend to pull off her bra vai the baffling bra trick and put her in the stocks where she is looking down into an empty bucket.
I get this girl all locked up and notice there is something in the bucket...
it's a fish bowl full of live goldfish.
I'm like what is going on here..
..
Doc yells from the back of the house: "Watch her head, she might drown in that water.
" I do my act and realize that everyone wants to have fun...
so everyone does and it was great...
until the next night...
The next night I start talking up the fire eatter.
Now the fire eatter is Rick's wife (at the time) Shelly..
..
but I leave that part out and tell everyone that Doc is the best fire eatter in the whole USA.
(which might be true) Now, Rick has not eatten fire in a long time..
...
But I am cranking up the heat so bad that Jimmy Hofa could have came back and ate fire and the crown still would have wanted Doc to do his fire act.
I am building him up very big..
..
"he swigs the gas and throws a flame 10 feet wide and 5 feet high, you can see if from the earth to the sky.
" "Doc has been on Johnny Carson and ate fire at Donald Trumps Birthday party..
..
and I just went on.
Doc knows he MUST eat fire - so he agrees...
he takes out the tourches..
..
takes out his lighter...
gets ready for the big act.
He touches the lighter to the tourch and NOTHING...
He dunks the torch into the bucket of fuel...
light the lighter...
NOTHING..
..
I never did tell him - Water in place of fuel does not burn..
..
HaHa Doc.
