I used to try and dabble in a bit of magic on the stage, had a few players 
over the years I tried to make disappear, but they kept coming back  to the 
stage all night till I paid them.


Actually I have a couple now I would like to make disappear, but 
unfortunately they owe me a lot of money and they consider it job security.   They may not 
live long enough to work it off.
