He’s cut up about it

Can I get a volunteer from the audience, at least???

Need the new hire to cut to the chase!!!

Well this trick actually never work without assista… Ahhh. Is the ambulance here yet?

….and medical attention

This isn’t as easy as it looks. Do not try this at home alone.

it only pays 1/2 as much

More proof that everyone is having problems hiring.

Now this is an act for Penn & Teller’s Fool Us.

My next trick – I’m going to disappear with all the box office money!

He would probably have more luck, if he wasn’t offering cut rates.

that’ll be a neat trick if it works

The magician is a fool for being the magician and the assistant…

I saw what you did there.

EVERYBODY has “help wanted” signs out these days! I remember a local sandwich shop having a sign on their front door: “The entire doggone world is short-staffed. Please be nice to those who showed up!”

If we could see ourselves as other see us, would they saw us as we saw ourselves? Just wondering.

See saw. See saw saw. See paramedics.

Lots of cutting remarks today.

In about 5 minutes, he’s going to beside himself, with consternation.
