Karsten Johansson<p>Kids can be hilarious. </p><p>I watched a 1970's interview with child actor Mason Reese on the Mike Douglas Show. If you were alive back then, you have seen him in every other ad for breakfast cereals and fast food, amongst too many other things. He was easily recognizable because of his appearance, which I'm sure at the time was little understood. But he totally pwned it.</p><p>Anyway, he wanted to show a magic trick for the interview, so they give him a bag with all kinds of things he brought it it. He pulls out a silk cloth, followed by a full salt shaker. :magic_wand:🧂</p><p>He then looks deadpan at the audience, and says, "I always carry a salt shaker," before doing the magic trick. :blobwizard: </p><p>I lmao. Magicians always have corny lines to explain away the inconvenient bits. But his delivery of that line was so good. I think even pro magicians would be impressed.</p><p>The rest of the trick was what you'd expect from a 7 year old. But his ability to keep the humour rolling, even with an adult audience and television cameras, was awesome.</p><p>Before the trick, he said if he had his own show, there'd be no lights, because his co-host would probably be a girl! 😭 </p><p>Douglas said he reminded him of Buddy Hackett. Amazingly as an adult... he STILL does look a lot like him. Even the hair.</p><p>He didn't grow up to be a comedian or a magician, but he sure had a promising start. He runs his own management company, which is probably far more lucrative!</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/magic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>magic</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/magician" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>magician</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/kids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>kids</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/comedy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>comedy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/television" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>television</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/children" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>children</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/childstars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>childstars</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/humor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>humor</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/humour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>humour</span></a></p>
