All the best bits of eveything good that ever happened to fantastic people on a great day.
Sonny Marvello the 1st was an infamous illusionist/showman who made a name for himself during the time of the Russian revolution...some of his most famous tricks involved conjuring a live elephant on stage (argument still rages as to whether it was real or some manner of sophisticated puppet), eating the flaming head of a pygmy and the spectacular 'who's legs am I wearing?' dance.
He gained true infamy however for what was to be his last show in Paris..... When he apparently sent a whole audience into some kind of trance state by use of a cursed melody and promptly robbed them all before escaping to Turkey......or maybe it was "in" a turkey...
Not counting on the vengeful tenacity of some of the more unsavoury characters in this audience, he was taken un-awares one evening several years later and had both of his hands chopped off. Needless to say he never performed any more high profile shows again but rumours persisted through Eastern Europe of a travelling magician, an exceptional conjurer who would, as a finale remove his own hands and put them in a glass box before disappearing in a puff of purple smoke.
The Sonny Marvello of our times (possibly the 7th) is currently performing as a singer and trying to stay out of trouble.... but there are dark rumours of secret masked balls...kidnappings and deformed backing dancers with Rubik’s cubes for heads.
