The magician's assistant


Still Tuesday 21st May
 
After dinner this evening there was a cabaret put on by the ships crew!  Not normally our sort of thing but we thought it would be fun and James our table waiter said he was on first!
 
Jack who is in charge of the restaurant did a face changing piece.  He came on in a huge robe with a mask on his face and then during the performance he changed his mask 8 or nine times without us being able to see how he did it.  This is a traditional Chinese act and was brilliant.
 
Then Jack came back as a magician and after a few tricks which were very good he needed an assistant.  We were at the side of the auditorium and a few rows back but he had obviously decided that I was to be the one and after much show pointed to me even though I had had my head down since he started looking!!!
 
It was fun and suffice to say that his trick worked and when I tried it it didn't!
( Liz was brilliant and mimicked his every move the Chinese in the audience loved it and the rest of us thought she was brilliant, Tony) 
 
A good laugh with some very clever acts.
 
Last night so a couple of drinks and then to bed
