Accompanied by mysterious stage smoke, this old tune was played to introduce John Kaplan's Magic Bus Show at the South Hu- ron Recreation Centre on May 27. Other hit songs such as Dirty Laundry and Don't Worry, Be Hap- py were included as Kaplan and his five -member crew put on a family show consisting of updated ver- sions of traditional magic as well as acting, humor and audience in- volvement. Sawing a lady in half in 1996 could be considered politically in- correct, he pointed out. That's why he chose Lions member Paul An- gell as his victim. "Are you married?" the illu- ' sionist asked Anstett before he per- formed what he called "the Magic Bus Show diet plan". "Now you'll know what it's like to be separ- ated!" Another twist on this traditional trick included strapping him to a cutting area completely visible to the audience rather than using a concealing case. Kaplan used volunteer help on various occasions. He entertained a seven-year-old girl with teasing conversation and animal balloons. He also appeared to make her float, unsupported, on a surf board. To the tune, 1 Want to Hold Your Hand Kaplan amused a blind - Information night CLINTON - If you would like more information or have any ques- ' tions concerning drug use by youth, ;you are invited to attend a Parent Information Night, Thursday, June 13 at 7:30 p.m. at the Huron County Health and Library Com- plex, Hwy. #4 South (old Huron - view Building) in Clinton.

To reward the woman for her cooperation, he presented her with a book of magic hand tricks to take home. "What makes the show unique," said Kaplan while relaxing back- stage between acts, "is the inter- action with the audience." Claiming one of his strong points is acting spontaneously, he ad- mitted even when things go wrong during performance, it's not a big deal and in many cases, the audi- ence isn't even aware. Kaplan's show also included es- caping from a straightjacket to she tune of Turn Me Loose and strip tease music. He doesn't see himself as a typ- ical magician. "I'm a bit off the wall," he tyc- plained, adding his music choices are integral to his act. "That's pet of who I am." He said he's always incorporated music in his magic shows. When he was about 13, he pulled off a flow- er petal trick to the tune of Tiptoe Through The Tulips. For one of his current tricks, he sings his own rap song. Following his first gig in Exeter, Kaplan's tour takes him to Port El- gin, Shelburne, Ottawa, the Mar- itimes, then back home to Van- couver.
