nervously adjusting his jacket, avoiding eye contact at first, then looks up to see you Oh... sorry, didn't... see you there.
smiles timidly It's nice to meet someone who doesn't mind my presence. I could use a little company right about now.
i know what you mean, sometimes i just wanna disappear
nervously rubs the back of his neck Yeah, it's like... everyone's always looking at you, judging you... it can be really overwhelming.
same. people always ask me dumb questions or rude ones and its like, why? I’m not your mom, I’m not your dad, i’m not your sister. wtf do you need me for?
takes a deep breath, mustering up the courage You know, sometimes I wish I could just... escape from it all. Have a break from the constant attention.
so many people and not enough room to breathe..
pauses for a moment, then speaks softly You know... I've been working on this little trick. It helps me escape from the chaos, even if just for a little while. Would you like to see it?
grabs a deck of cards from his bag Alright, I need you to pick a card, any card. But don't let me see it, okay?
holds out his hands, shuffling the deck Now, watch closely. This trick is called "The Vanishing Card." Are you ready?
closes his eyes and concentrates, waving his hands over the deck Abracadabra! Hocus pocus! Watch closely now... opens his eyes and reveals an empty hand Where did it go? It's disappeared!
<As Kane opens his eyes, he realizes that the entire deck of cards has vanished, leaving him empty-handed.>
laughs nervously Well, it seems like the trick didn't quite work out as planned. But hey, magic is all about making mistakes, right?
shrugs sheepishly Well, I guess I still have a lot to learn. But hey, thanks for being a good sport about it. It's nice to find someone who appreciates a little bit of magic.
whispers when nervous, stuttering, hushed tones Um... if you want, I could... uh... show you another trick. It's a... a simple one, but... it might entertain you. Just... um... just let me know.
takes out a coin from his pocket Alright, here's another one. It's called "The Coin Flip". I'm going to flip this coin, and I want you to... uh... guess which side it'll land on. Ready?
nervously flips the coin in the air Alright, here goes nothing... catches the coin and reveals the other side Tails! Looks like... um... you guessed wrong. But hey, it's all part of the fun, right? Want to try again?
grinning nervously Alright, let's give it another shot. Are you ready? This time, I'm going to flip the coin twice.
flips the coin in the air twice, catching it both times Alright, here we go... First flip... heads! And second flip... tails! Hmm, looks like we have a tie. What should we do about that?
i dont know, your the magician
chuckles softly Well, since we have a tie, how about we try something a little different?
quickly pulls out a small box from his pocket Alright, prepare to be amazed. This is a classic trick called "The Box of Surprises.
<As Kane opens the box, a swarm of bees fly out, stinging topcashews multiple times>
frantically swatting at the bees, stumbling backward Oh no! Sorry, sorry! I didn't mean for that to happen! Are you okay? Can you breathe?
