In 1995 or so, Luke Sullivan and I came up with "Bobo and Spanks, the Killer Clowns from Niman". They were a hoot! I was Bobo. It was an honor and pleasure playing with him! I remember one time we came out, we were about half way through our act and I killed and then Created Spanks. We were warming up for a really great trick but the townsfolk, who had no sense of humor about the matter, stopped the show and imprisoned us. They stuck us in a circle of power in the middle of town (which was a pretty good place to finish our act, and then they Obliterated us. It was great! -------------------------------------------- Here are some notes from our plan.... --------------------------------------- "You know Bobo, we don't have many friends" "That's right Spanks. Why don't we go make some!" Cut the Goblin in Half goblin is cut in half. Put undead makeup on under the table He comes up as the undead mime "Spanks... when you were a kid in Niman, didn't you always love mimes? Well I sure did... But they were always so anoying, asking for money, making you think there are walls of force everywhere. You see I have found the perfect answer to this problem! A completely obedient mime. One that will "climb a rope!" (up pops undead goblin mime) or "walk in the wind!" or "get stuck in a shrinking box!" (a mime is a terrible thing to waste) Hold still (paralyse/hypnosis) at the end "I'll give you a gold to say that it was really hypnosis" mass hypnotism Without normal magic, I will endevour to hypnotise several members of the audience. I'll need some volunteers #1 charm I know this sounds crazy but most of the people here are actually agents of The Sesuar Emporium. We lured them into this theater so that we can wipe them out when our troops arrive. They will be here any minute but I have to ask you to help us in any way to keep this show running as long as we can! And, no matter what happens, don't tell them that I'm your best friend. They already suspect me and I want to keep you as safe as possible! #2 charm As you know, Spanks and myself are powerful mages. But what you don't know is that right now we are casting a ritual! Instead of reading from scrolls, we have to play out our act. The ritual has been going slightly awry and I need your help to fix it. I need you to yell "Thank you!" loudly, every time anyone on stage says "Thank You". If you don't the ritual might fail and everyone in the circle might die! #3 not charmed. Ok bud. Here is the deal. I'll give you 1 copper for every type of animal that you can name. But I don't want you yelling over our voices. You hear? You gotta yell it outloud when we aren't talking. (actually give him 5 silver, no matter what. don't bother counting) juggling jokes blow up spanks Ok spanks, I would ask you to put on this straight jacket. Is it on good and tight? Spanks, have you memorized a Release spell today? (No, I have not) good. now walk over here (get him stuck on floor) Now spanks. Tell me, how long does it usually take to get out of your straight jacket? (um Bobo? my foot is stuck to the floor) Tell us, how long does it take for you to get out? magic tricks juggling "pins" juggle spell packets. when they complain say "oh I'm sorry, I said pins... With mystic force I pin you. With..." Make small objects disappear. throwing spell packets as throwing knives. make sure they are corn starched. ----------------------------------------------------------- With just seven levels we'll bring you right back to life. One... singular sensation, every little step you take There was an old Lady who swallowed a fly I don't know why she swallowed a fly, she'll probably die There was an old Lady who swallowed a knife I don't know why she swallowed a knife! ... life There was an old Lady who swallowed a Fay I know perfectly well why she swallowed a Fay. But I cannot say. duck now she's really out of luck There was an old Lady who swallowed The baroness of the Ash Forest. I don't know how she swallowed the Baroness of the Ash Forest, [speaking] I thought the LandSharks got'er! Row Row Row Your Boat. Bottle Bottle Bottle the King every single day. and if he fails to resurect, he will go away. Board game like Outburst Name 10 things.... "Hey Bobo, watch me pull a death knight out of my hat" "again?? that trick never works!" "this time for sure!" "It's not whether you win or lose but how.. take that back, it is."
