“You’re nothing but a fraud!” Yelled a man in the audience just as Madam Illusia was about to manipulate Miss Monica’s groin.
The gypsie woman stopped and looked to where the interruption had come from. “And who may I ask is calling my me a fraud?”
“I am” all the eyes in the tent turned to the man who had spoken. He was a short but muscular man in a dark blue singlet and shorts.
“Why don’t you come up to the stage and explain your reasoning to the audience?” The Madam beckoned the man forward.
Suddenly the man looked alarmed. As he began to approach the stage walking like a puppet. “What are you doing to me?”
“Me? Why how could I be doing anything to you? I’m a fraud am I not?”
The man continued his awkward walk to the stage and eventually was standing beside Monica. The Madam addressed him. “Now sir as you so rudely interrupted me will you introduce yourself and explain your reasoning”
“My name is Kurt and I know Monica. I know she is not a lesbian. She is a red blooded heterosexual woman. You have somehow hypnotised her to say what she just said”
“So you think this is all just hypnosis?”
“I do”
The Madam addressed the audience “He’s right, but only partially right. I did use hypnosis on Monica, I made her forget about her ex. But I also used magic. Perhaps I should use Kurt to demonstrate my abilities once more?” She turned back to Kurt “Now Mr Kurt. You say you know Monica. May I ask what your relationship with her is? I compel you to tell the truth”
“I love Monica but…… she calls me a stalker”
“Is that so?”
Kurt looked scared and just nodded.
“A stalker? Monica why don’t you tell the audience what it’s like to have a stalker”
“He’s harmless. He turns up whenever I go out. I’ve told him plenty of times that I’m not into guys”
“But you are into guys! …….Just not me. I wish it was different”
Monica rolled her eyes. “See! He just won’t listen. Kurt. I am a lesbian. You are not what I am looking for”
“You came here with your boyfriend. He……I’ve forgotten his name”
Monica addressed the audience “See what I mean . He’s delusional. I think I would know if I was in a relationship”
“But would you like to be in a relationship?” Asked Madam Illusiona
“With a woman”
“And you Kurt? Would you like to be in a relationship”
“With Monica”
The madam spoke to he audience once more “Shall I give them both what they want?”
