Be a Magician at Your Kid's Birthday Party
/ theguysmanual Grape-Nuts and ESPN's Kenny Mayne team up to ensure you aren't boring the kids to tears when you're playing the magician at your kid's birthday party in this episode of the Guy's Manual.
HOST KENNY MAYNE
Fathers and Sons. Its a
complicated relationship. And
sometimes, a humiliating one. But
look at that face. Could you tell
him, ""Sorry, Daddy doesnt love you
enough to give you a fun birthday?
No. So you man up, listen to these
nuggets of wisdom and, like Gary
here, learn how to be the next
Houdini. Not the band.
First things first, its all about
showmanship.
And what do all showmen have in
common? The right name and the
right look. So, slap an Amazing
in front of your name, then hit
your local thrift stores. The more
Harry Potter-looking the better.
He grabs a cape off the bed, whips it around dramatically,
and fastens it to his neck. ""The Amazing Gary"" is written in
tape on the back of the cape.
And yes, you should live by the
motto A.G.C...which translates to:
Always. Go. Cape.
Okay, even though your audience
attends elementary school, theyll
probably know this is your first
time. So dont go overboard.
Now you're ready for the party. But
remember, kids these days have gnat
like attention spans so...
You don't want this happening.
GARY
Should we wait for you?
HOST KENNY MAYNE
Try working them into the act to
keep them involved. Every magician
needs an assistant.
GARY
Its Fake! Its Fake!
HOST KENNY MAYNE
This could turn ugly any second, so
when you feel the time is right,
hit em with the real star of the
party.
HOST KENNY MAYNE
Way to Mindfreak the kids, Gary.
Until next time, enjoy being a man
who gets things done.
