Hello and good morning to you all beautiful citizens of Holyland it’s a pleasure to stand before you all, my name is Ruben you can also call me Ruby the magician (he concluded with a satisfied smile).
Now let’s move to the business of the day (he continues)
What do you think about magic? Most people things magic is fake and others think magic is evil (he paused)
But do you know what I think? (Asking the crowd who watched him perform).
Well I think magic is life, it’s a path that leads to life. Magic is the past, present and the future.

Enough of the talks, now let’s do some magic.
Mummy see he makes birds out of flying leaves. The little girl said to her mom.
Oh My God, this dude is so good with magic. How did he do all that ( the man ask in dismay)

While Ruben was performing his magic tricks on the stage an old man watched him from afar and he was really amazed with Ruben magic target.

After the show Ruben was smiling cause he make a lot from his first street show, he didn’t expect to make so much but he did. The old man waiting patiently for Ruben to be done with the show and for everyone to leave. After few minutes Ruben was alone on the street and the old man walked up to him.

Hey boss (he called out)
Hello sir, Good day to you (he replied)
Good day. Your skills are very talented, I must confess and you did a great job today. How come you’re this good with magic, who taught you ? (Asked the old man)
Thank you so much sir. I really appreciate you for coming to watch me performed.
My dad was a magician, he taught me and we dream of performing together in the greatest show. (He replied)
Wow that good. Would love to meet your dad and thank him for being a perfect teacher.
That would be last but he’s late, died 3 years ago. (Said Ruben sadly)
Oh, so sorry for your lost.
I’m Mr. Fred And you are..
Thank you Mr. Fred
My is Ruben (Ruben the magician)
Mr. Ruben the magician, it’s was a pleasure meeting you.
Looking forward to see you again.
Thank you Mr. Fred, it’s was nice having conversations with you. (He said has he make a stop)
You live here? (The old man asked surprisingly)
Yeah. Just my mom and I. (He replied feeling a bit uncomfortable).
(The old man watch me walked into the apartment as the wave to each other)

What do you think about the upcoming Greatest show Mr. Fred, the show is in 2 weeks time and we still haven’t seen a representative, is this how you will lose to your brother? (Ask Mr. Fred manager)
The Greatest talent show is your show (company) you build it from the trash if your brother won this year (Greatest show) competition, he takes everything from you. We need to art fast , very fast.
Why so quiet sir, Mr. Fred (he ask with a calm voice)

I think I have a representative, his….
Who would that be (his manager cut in)
So sorry sir, please continue.
He’s name is Ruben, saw him performed on the street today and he was good.
Street boy magician? (Asked surprisingly)
Mr. Fred you know we are up against, the Greatest show is for certified, high standards and best magician how will a common street magician performer compete with them and won the show (the greatest of them all).
There’s something special about the boy, I can feel and I believe is the perfect person for the show.
But sir..
There’s no but. Will talk to the boy about it. (Mr. Fred cut in) He said as he left the office and his manager was still confused about the whole process.

Looks whose going to lost the Greatest show to me, people let’s welcome Mr. Fred the CEO of the Greatest show but not for long. Haha
What’s is it this time brother (asked Mr. Fred)
Don’t be in a hurry brother just checking out my soon to be company. (He smiled)
Heard you still in search for a representative, look brother the time is ticking (said showing his wrist watch to his brother) (then give a deep breathe and continue)
Do you think you can find one before the show? Why not hand over the company peacefully and I will give you 10 percent of your share that’s fair enough, what do you think brother?
Haha so confident, what makes you think that I can’t find a representative. Do you think it’s everyone you can bought with your money? Don’t be in a hurry brother let’s meet at the show. (He said as he walked pass him)
Filled with anger, he left (his brother).

Mr.Fred meet with Ruben and he agreed to represent his brand as a prize of 100 million will be his if he won the contest. This has always been Ruben dream and it’s finally here, he couldn’t wait for the day to come.
He performed well and in all his in training his magic tricks and he did this all night and day.

The D Day (The Greatest Show)

Hi
Good day Mr. Fred
Good day Mr. Ruben the magician
How are you doing, trust you are ready for tonight show. (He asked with a smile)
I’m doing well sir and also nervous, this is my first on a show and there are a lots of people here to watch me perform, what if I can’t do it ( he asked feeling scared)
Calm down and take a deep breathe
Tonight is your night, you are about to be the Greatest of them all now it’s in your hands to make that happen. Being scared and nervous won’t help you achieve that, you have to believe in yourself and in your magic. You can do this, I know you can. (He said touching his shoulder softly)
Thank you so much Mr. Fred and thank you for believing in me.
(Mr. Fred your attention is need, said a voice from the crowd).
I have to go now. Stay calm (he said and left).

Wait ! It’s that the street boy that perform magic on the street the other day?
That’s him (replied the other guy)
What would he be doing in a show like this?
Come on let’s go inside (said the other guy as he dragged him inside ).

A street boy that performed magic? Is that what he got (his brother laughed as he said to himself ).

Exactly 6pm the Greatest began and contestants were called to performed, Ruben happen to be the last magician to perform. At first he was stage frightened but later gain his courage and boldness as he remember Mr. Fred words. He performed amazingly well and super, everyone was surprised and amaze by his performance and couldn’t hold back the happy face as they keep shouting and slapping for him.

Mr. Fred brother was scared of defeat and try to stop the crowd but he couldn’t as the noise becomes louder and louder.

At the end of the greatest show Ruben was announced winner and was crown greatest of them all with a grand prize of 100 million.
Ruben was filled with joy as he appreciate Mr.Fred for the opportunity.
Mr. Fred on the other hand still remind the CEO of The Greatest Show.
