Type:
A magician and an assistant, the latter made up as a young man with a mustache and later disclosed as a girl. Her principal duties are to expose the magic of her partner. This expose is against the ethics of magicians, as all the simple tricks have the follow-up comedy of exposing them. Through this, however, the turn will be able to make the smaller small time just now.
