Set your recorders because you won't believe the trick Lawrence pulls on Tim!
I'M AN ILLUSIONIST - To the tune of Monty Python's 'The Lumberjack Song'
I never wanted to be known as 'The Six Card Rap Guy'... dressing up in silly costumes and pretending I can sing... I wanted to be... an illusionist! (Tim strips off costume and music starts)
Leaping from showroom to showroom as I cruise down the mighty strip of Las Vegas, Nevada.
The metamorphis trunk.
The plucky little headchopper
The sensual penetration of interlude
The thinly disguised b&d fantasy of the assistant’s revenge
Making $54 million dollars disappear faster than you can say Steve Wyrick.
Teaming up with Cirque du Soleil in a contract so tight that even they can’t get out of it
Creating a steam punk illusion show... no, no, that’s just too crazy
With my stage crew by my side we’d sing, sing, sing!
I’m an illusionist and I’m ok
I work all night and I sleep all day
He’s an illusionist and he’s ok
He works all night and he sleeps all day
I cut up girls, and though they smile
I point and look angry
On Wednesdays I do matinees
The kiddies come to see.
He cuts up girls, and though they smile
He points and looks angry
On Wednesdays he does matinees
The kiddies come to see.
He’s an illusionist and he’s ok
He works all night and he sleeps all day
I count all of my Merlins,
now I’ve got 32.
The most important thing is
that I’ve got more than you!
He counts all of his Merlins
Now he’s got 32
The most important thing is
That he’s got more than you!!
He’s an illusionist and he’s ok
He works all night and he sleeps all day
When I need extra money,
I just put on my mask
Revealing those illusions, is such an easy task
When he needs extra money
He just puts on his mask.....??? (Everyone walks off in disgust)
He’s an illusionist and he’s ok (Everyone runs back on singing)
He works all night and he sleeps all day
He’s an illusionist and he’s okay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [long hold]
Tomorrow we're leaving for Vegas and the IMX but we have wrangled a few "days off" to visit The Magic Castle on the way. So, if you're in the LA area and you want to say g'day, we'll be in on the 19th and 20th catching up with friends and hanging out in the most magiciany place on earth.
After that, it's Vegas baby and three days of non-stop magic!
