Street Magician Has Two Cents To Rub Together
NYC Street Magician Isn’t Eating Ramen Every Night
NEW YORK, NY — The city awoke to revelations today that local street magician Luther Gunderson isn’t basically a homeless person. In a shocking turn of events, the leather clad street performer and master of sleight of hand actually makes a living, owning both furniture and a wardrobe larger than what he is wearing right now.
“I don’t know why you would assume I was poor,” said the conjurer as he performed a card trick. “Being a street magician doesn’t mean I don’t have money. It just means I may not have a girlfriend.”
Many magicians are forced into labor as scientists, lawyers, or bus drivers, due to the profound lack of money available to skilled professionals in the field of prestidigitation. Few accountants specialize in preparing taxes for this field, and financial planners typically laugh when a magician is referred to them as a client.
“These guys are usually so poor, they’re couch surfing with the few relatives who will still speak with them. It’s amazing that this guy can feed, clothe, and house himself all on the meager earnings of a magician. Does he live in a box?”
No word yet if he is capable of doing more than the one card trick all magicians do, the one we all know. You know, the one with the cards?
