"Ladies and Gentlemen., Welcome to the world of magic, get immersed into the ocean of illusions at THE GRAND REGAL MAGIC EXPO hosted by THE ROYAL CONJURER KEITH DANIEL LARINSON. Be ready to get over an exciting trip of fantasy which forms a coaster ride full of magic tricks, illusions and juggling moves. The levels of thrill given to you would be far-fetched and be prepared to waver your thoughts between magic and reality. I ARJUN JISHNU will take the entire pleasure of inviting our great Irish mentalist and illusionist Mr. Larinson here onto the stage please."
These are my most memorable words since one and half year. The name and fame of The Grand Regal Expo today will reflect our yesterday's laborious efforts into it. But the expo's tomorrow condition is only leaving agony for most of us. Mr. Larinson had undergone a serious brain surgery recently and he's now incapable of giving any stage shows. He can perform his magic behind the stage but standing on the stage for a long time and pulling up all the magic tricks and techniques is not possible. Now this show will be taken up by his son CHRIS PERK DANIEL MORRIS, he's the future of Grand Regal Expo from now.
I am ARJUN JISHNU a senior juggler in the show hosted by Mr. Larinson. Today we are in Yakha a small country located between Nepal and India located somewhere on their border line. This is a very small country not known to the outer worlds and to ones' surprise this is completely a magic loving country. People of this country love and respect magic equal to their ancestors. The reason for this respect just lies within the people of this country. Mr. Larinson is treated here with a huge respect and honor, the people here believe that he is the Master of Magic skills and would respect him, often worship him equally to their deity. He's a man here who's termed to as the LORD OF MAGICIANS. So, because of this reason Mr. Larinson wanted his last magic show should be done in this country and in front of the people who admire him a lot. He's such a respectable person and a very intelligent person. He started performing magic right from his childhood. By the age of 16 he'd mastered many skills and techniques which experts lack in performing even at greater ages. I believe magic doesn't have any age of retirement, one can perform it until he feels that he's no more capable of doing it. Mr. Larinson is still 55 so he can easily continue this for 5 to 10 years more. But only reason he's stopping it is because of his operation. It's very heartrending for me to digest the fact that 'there will be no more stage shows from him'. A more bloggable situation would be the reaction of the people from this country on hearing about his retirement.
The thing which still puzzles me is why did Mr. Larinson agreed to undergo the surgery? He was hale and healthy, perfect in all the forms of his body but still had people to operate on his brain. I thought of asking him about this many times, but couldn't. The engineer Graf Biller was the reason for it. The surgery done to Mr. Larinson is freakish, his brain is attached with some circuit connections directing to an artificial brain coded on AI. It also takes the support and data from his brain. That means the functioning of the parts of his body are commanded by two brains, a Machine Learning mind along with a human mind. Both command each other and function simultaneously so that the commands given by the brain can be stored and restored by the AI brain whenever needed. This type of an extra attachment is never needed for Mr. Larinson since his brain was in a perfect state.
Mr. Larinson is always outlandish in taking his decisions. One of those outball decisions is opting me as his senior juggler. I am basically from a small state named Andhra Pradesh in India. Juggling used to be my passion and hobby in childhood. Since childhood the only thing I'd seriously concentrated in achieving is juggling. When I was a child I'd seen a magic show in my town that had left in amaze. The surreal juggling moves pulled by the juggler that night will still make me feel awe for that man. Rotating the rings on one hand and the baseball bat in the other hand while balancing himself on a plank standing on a bowling pin, something a regular man couldn't was mastered by that man and I can still remember the innumerous curtain calls he'd got after the show. That whole round of applause made me decide myself to become a veteran juggler and that was the day of decision towards my career. From then till now the beat of my heart has only been juggling. My first meeting with Mr. Larinson was on the day of my audition, I'd attended the auditions conducted by the Grand Regal Expo. They were held at THE TOWN HALL in the 43rd street of Hell's Kitchen, NY. He was then wanted a Senior Juggler to perform for his magic show. There were many other Jugglers, even more talented and experienced than me who'd attended that audition along with me, but the pick of mine made by Mr. Larinson surprised all the others present there, others including his son Mr. Perk. When I later asked him the reason behind that, Mr. Larinson replied with a simple smile saying that "See yourself after two years and repeat the question." Now I'm a Senior Juggler in his show, many other magicians are waiting for my presence in their shows. This could be the possible reason which made him to choose me, many poeple including me believe in his circumspection. But now he's not ready enough to host his own shows. Mr. Perk may not prefer me for juggling in his show as he doesn't opine anyone good from his dad's crew. Even though I can move on and take up one of my offers from the other famous shows, I'm chosing not to go. I just not ready to juggle for any other magician other than Mr. Larinson. I feel like staying only with him, even if I'm removed from my position by Mr. Perk. Mr. Perk was actually never concerned about his father, so I can take up that responsibilty. He's been my Guardian Angel though, all I could payback is some loyalty.The main reason for all these disturbances is Mr. Larinson agreeing to the request of Doctor Feroz Agarwal's operation. The one which is made for attaching the artificial brain to his normal brain. I'd decided to set off to Mr. Larinson's room and ask him about the operation.
On my way to his room I found our crew men carrying the parts from our show's kit. Mainly the items used for performing THE FUTURE READ MAGIC into the practice hall from the stage's backroom, when asked got a answer from them saying that they're instructed to do so by Mr. Larinson himself. THE FUTURE READ MAGIC is a famous magic trick performed by Mr. Larinson. It makes people get some glimpes of their future into their mind for a few ticks as a dream. Later when they really face those situations in future they just feel like Deja-vu. Since there is a show tomorrow the equipment is to be kept in the stage room, but I didn't get why is it being moved to the practice hall. The Queries number is getting incremented in my mind gradually. The first one is that why did he agree for the surgery over his well functioning brain. Second, is after the surgery why again an AI brain is attached over the original one. Next is the question that how will the Yakhans react tomorrow when he announces about his last magic, and the final one is the reason behind the magic equipment being moved to the practice hall. With all these puzzling queries in my mind, I'd decided to meet Mr. Larinson to get the answer for all of them.
