Scene
– At the Mage And Goblin Incantationists’ Coalition (MAGIC)
Annual General Meeting.
Wensley: What is causing this magic recession I hear
you ask? Quite frankly, we have come to the conclusion that magic just
isn’t what it used to be.
Winchester: Magic just hasn’t kept pace with
the times – who needs magic when you’ve got a Playstation?
Or a DVD?
Wanda: Let’s face it – for the average
modern customer spells have just lost their magic.
Rose: It’s true – why use a crystal ball
to contact someone when you can SMS them on their mobile?
Helga: Why look for a love potion when you can spray
on ‘Impulse’?
Gene: It’s the same with us genies – if
I had a dollar for every never-ending packet of Tim Tams I’ve
Alakazamed…
Wensley: When it comes to magic, your average Joe is
stuck in a rut.
Winchester: But the problem isn’t with the general
public – the problem is with us.
Wanda: We’ve got to give magic a new image…
Wensley: We’ve got to make it more hip…
Winchester: More funky…
Wanda: More technologically advanced.
Wensley, Winchester & Wanda: We’ve got to
bring magic out of the Middle Ages and into the 22nd Century!
Winchester: We could start up our own web page –
‘a wiz on the web’.
Enid: That sounds like an arachnid with a bladder problem!
Winchester: Well you come up with a better idea!
