The bunny jumps out of the hat.  Oh, no!  Where is that creature
going?  I follow the bunny because it seems to know more about what
is going on than I do, and it is Halloween-- you never know....Up
the stairs to an odd room filled with what?  Are those really
witches?  I've played in front of tough audiences before, but this
one takes the cake.

The rabbit stops and looks at me expectantly.  He jumps into the hat
as if on cue, and I step forward.  Total silence reigns.  I have to
do something, or the show will be a failure.

"Ladies and hags, let me introduce my familiar.  This (grabbing the
bunny by the ears) is Pinkie.  Please note how intelligent he seems.
Now, for my first trick, I will make him a musician." I wave my
magic wand and a drum appears.  "Pinkie is now the Energizer bunny!"
Total incomprehension from the audience.  Either they have a better
sense of humor than I do or they don't watch TV.  I sense hostility.
I had better do my standby that has gotten me out of more trouble
than I can remember.  It is also my only real magic trick that
doesn't require sleight of hand.  "And now, for my next trip, I will
vanish into thin air." POOF!!  Whew, that's better.  I won't go back
there in a hurry.  Well, since I'm dressed for trick or treating, I
might as well go get some candy!
