[approaches iPad on a stand; his "reflection" is shown on the big screen, with a devilish face superimposed over his own image] MacPhisto: "Ohh..." Crowd: [laughter] MacPhisto: "Oh, it's you again." [wheezy laugh] Crowd: [whoops] MacPhisto: "Very revealing!" Crowd: [cheers and applause] MacPhisto: "Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm a man of wealth and taste. Been around for many a year... stole many a man's soul to waste. I was there in Charlottesville, when the KKK Sieg Heiled!" [gives Nazi salute] "...together. Made damn sure... the President's hands were full... with 'Stormy' weather." [evil laughter] "You can't make this shit up!" Crowd: [cheers and applause] MacPhisto: "Seriously!" [laughs] "There's nothing for me to do! ...Pleased to meet you. Hope you guess my name. A-Actually my name is MacPhisto." Crowd: [cheer] MacPhisto: "I-- I sometimes dress up as Mick Jagger." [laughs] Crowd: [cheers and whistles] MacPhisto: "Oh, excuse me, Omaha. 'Cos, uh... it's when you don't believe I exist... that I do my best work." [sniggers] [Acrobat begins] MacPhisto: "Don't believe what you hear. Don't believe what you see. If you just close your eyes... you can feel the enemy!" [flings his arms toward the camera] |
