Magic!

At Campo De Fiori, there is no shortage of entertainment or things to do. One of these forms of entertainment is an exciting magic show put on by a man wearing a sad excuse for a tupe and a big smile. He is a prop magician, card tricks are obviously below him, and his props are lugged around in a large green bag. Sometimes his props work and other times they don't. I'm not sure if the people watching him are amazed by his magic or amazed that he thinks he is tricking anyone. I tend to think it is the latter. The best part of the show though, comes at the end. After the oo's and ahh's are dulling down the magician goes in for the big finish. He looks around points at his head and pulls his hair off!! Truly amazing. Again he thinks no one could have possibly known he was wearing a piece. He then uses his magical hair to collect any amount of change that people are willing to give. I gave him an E for effort and went on my way.
