If the people were late coming down the midway he would stall by getting a kid up on the bally platform and after making him give his name and background he would have him repeat: "After being thoroughly Fookamized and highly Kaboobalized........ I will allow this Oriental Prestidigitator......to remove my cranium..... from the remainder of my anatomy! Do you know what that means?.....No.....It means I can cut your head off! Not to worry!..... Not to worry! In 20 years I have only had one fatality. After severing the head I passed it out into the audience to be examined, suddenly it began to rain, the crowd became excited and I became excited and in all this excitement I replaced his head upside down and backwards. Do you know what happened?.....No!.....The rain ran down his nose and he drowned!
