Listen to my soothing voice. You want to hire Jacques…. THE INTERVIEW: Interviewer: Do you treat children differently than adults? Jacques: Absolutely. Adults are easier to fool and sometimes they drink, which helps. Children are sober, bright, direct, and unencumbered by a lifetime of opinions and dogmatic beliefs. I prefer to entertain children that are 8 years old or older. Interviewer: Why do your rates fluctuate? Jacques: Because I look at each event and each client's budget and I price according to the VALUE that I provide and how busy I am. Or I see how much I owe the credit card folks this month since three of my daughters decided to get married in the space of 10 months and I bid accordingly. Crazy, huh? Interviewer: Don't quit your day job. Jacques: Huh? Right! Interviewer: Do you make rabbits or doves appear? Jacques: For me animals are pets, not props, and I haven't the time to commit to a pet's care. But some people insist the magician do magic with animals, so I have some 'puppets' that I use and most people enjoy them just as much. Plus, I have no vet bills, no pet food, and no 'meadow muffins' to clean up! IF you HAVE to have a live animal, get Amasingh or Great Scott or Bill Devon-Hutcheon. Uh, I mean, Bill and Scott annd Amasingh are not a live animal, but I think they have a rabbit, and they are good! Interviewer: Why do you go by your name only? Why not be 'The Amazing Jacques,' 'Jacques P. Lord, Wizard' or 'Jacques the Totally Gnarly?' Jacques: Because that would be redundant.
