CONCEPTS

 

I will do anti-capitalist routines.    I will start with no oxygen “ON” but will turn it on after the fire tricks.  The fire tricks that I am involved in will be at the beginning

STARTING SEQUENCE  FIRE WAND HAND CUFFS/CHAIN

After introduction I remove hand cuffs and chain.   

NOTE:  The fire wand is inside the coat and is replaced inside when finished.

I shoot the fire wand to get their attention and say, “Welcome to Hell……Dayton Ohio 2006  I am a nice guy.  I have been in hell for 60 years just because I was a Nazi.  What did we do wrong?”

 

COLD FIRE TRICK  I pull out the handkerchief and throw the hearts and glitter into the air.  Izan says,  “See, I am really a sweet guy.”

TAKE OFF GLOVES  Izan says,  “Nothing in my gloves”    In taking off the gloves I put the lighter in my hand.

NOTE:  Lighter starts inside my glove so I can take off the cuffs.

 

 I do the flash bill trick first to introduce the money in hell (Capitalist)  “Well anyway, “For you that will do anything for a buck.  Hell is the place for you.  There is plenty of money in hell.”  Pull out a flash dollar “The only problem is that every time it hits the air it ignites.” Raise dollar high with left hand while I position the lighter.  Then bring the dollar down toward the right hand and  Light flash dollar – with butane lighter 

NOTE: While getting out fan put the lighter back into the jacket pocket.

DO BROKEN FAN

Izan says,  "It is getting hot in here.  One thing about Hell is you don't have to worry about heating bills."I pull the fan out of inside jacket pocket and move it in the fall apart direction.  The fan falls apart. I hold it up to the audience and say    “Damned capitalist.  A capitalist sold this to me.  They can  never build anything right.  Hell is full of capitalist.  Yea,  Regan is here.  Bush and Cheney.  No, there not here yet.  Since we are here for eternity then time is hard to tell”  Put fan back together

Put the fan back inside the coat and pull out fake watch

Say, "Another thing about hell is that it is eternal.  So we play with time a lot in hell.  I can stop time by making it disappear."

Hold up fake watch so audience can see it.  It is made with an egg carton top with two sides of a scanned watch glued together.  It has double stick clear tape on the front and back. 

 

1.  Put watch in left hand laying flat

2.  cover with silk (press down in middle so the watch sticks to the silk.

3.  Say "Abacadraba abacazoo..time, time where are you?" (at the same time I could point (press) on the fake watch face to make sure it is stuck.

4.  Pick silk up with right hand with bottom of silk towards me.  Raise open left hand to show it has disappeared.

5.  Press silk again.  This time to attach it to the back of the fake watch also.  Then drop silk.

6.  Say "Time is gone.  Let me see if I can get it back."

7.  Pull silk out of shirt cuff (the silk already has two pennies folded up inside.)

8.  Lay it on my flat left hand and slide the silk away from the pennies.

9.  Say "abacadraba abacazam...time time here I am"

10.  Remove silk and hold up pennies.

11.  Say, "Damned capitalist always into the money thing."

12.  Throw pennies into audience saying, "Here, you want some pennies from hell"

13.  Say "I hear ticking.  You hear that?  Shuuuu.....  I do't have a heart." 

14.  Reach into shirt pocket and pull out watch.

NOTE:  When pulling out watch also pull out lead ball for bullet catch.  Hide it between the fingers of the right hand.

15.  Say, "Damned watch again.  You just can't escape eternity."

16.  Put watch back into a pocket.  Could be jacket pocket

 

 

LUNCH SEQUENCE

Izan says,  “Lets see what I have for lunch.”  As Izan pulls lunch bag out of pocket.

 “We have a lot of food in Hell.  The only problem is the cooks are Jeff Daumer and Ed Gein and Ed’s momma Edna.”  I open and say, “Yea just as I expected, left overs.  ” 

 NOTE:  Drop lunch bag on floor.

MORAL SEQUENCE

I say, “People if you don’t want to go to hell there are only a few rules. Don’t be a Nazi. Don’t kill your mama.  Don’t eat people. And never ever be a capitalist.”

I say, “See I am such a nice guy.  How did I get here??  O yea it was that bullet thing.  When I was out there (wave hand and point at the world)  I was the greatest Nazi Magician.  I did the great bullet catch trick.  Fourteen people were killed doing the bullet catch and I was one of them.”

 NOTE:  Audience member needs a note to know when to shoot "Fourteen people were killed doing the bullet catch and I was one of them"

AUDIENCE MEMBER.  Pulls the gun out and says, “Here take this you Nazi.” And shoots toward me.  I reach out and grab the bullet and drop it into the metal cup attached to my waist.

 

I DO BACK TO HELL SEQUENCE 

Izan says, “ This place is too dangerous.  Send me back to Hell.  My name is Izan Knarf.  Spelled backward it is Frank Nazi.  Say it three times and I go back to hell.  Lets hear it FRANK NAZI  louder, FRANK NAZI,  one more time FRANK NAZI.”

 

Performance ends.
