A couple of them would like information about that.

… One other shouts that they're heathens and will burn in hell.

"– I didn't know people actually, like, did that, in real life."

"What'd you expect, that it was all just fiction?"

Juniper explains in general lines how mana works.

The person who shouted grumbles a bit more and then leaves.

The couple of people who asked about the mana would like to know if they have 'magical potential or whatever'.

They can try casting a spell! Just say these words and "mean them."

They do!

… Nothing happens.

"Sorry," she apologises. "It's apparently really rare."

They look sceptical.

The people in the crowd talk among themselves and a few people have their phones out. More people come look at what's happening, a few people leave to – apparently – continue their shopping.

One member of the crowd would like a new phone. Someone else wants their sister disappeared (preferably permanently but they'll take what they can get, apparently). Another wants to know if they can get rid of cancer. Or, like, poverty. Or unclean water.

They're planning on it! They want to use the Randi prize as startup money to fix every problem in the world with magic.

(And no they're not vanishing any sisters but if the sister would like to be temporarily invisible they can do that.)

The sister is not currently in evidence. The kid is sure she'll turn up sometime, and he'll probably be blamed for her missing it. (He rolls his eyes. He is also like fourteen.)

Uh huh. Shouldn't he be looking after her?

… He's sure she's fine.

He does however excuse himself like ten seconds later to go find her.

She casts a flight spell then flies over to him and casts a find-me spell. Then she points in the direction of his sister.

She is sitting by a fountain, quietly, apparently waiting for him to come find her.

He thanks Sadde awkwardly and makes his way over to her.

What a nice little girl.

They have some more demonstrations, like conjurations and stuff, but yeah, they've probably made their point.

Probably, seeing as some of the crowd is sort of disturbed and/or confused.

The rest seem enthusiastic about more magic! (The ice cream was a hit. As are waffles and various other foodstuffs and light-shows and a couple more questions about fixing medical things, but, yep, that's about it.)

"Well, that was fun," says Maya.

"Yeah. Now we need to wait for views and then get this to Randi."

Maya downloads a copy and puts it on YouTube and then shares it on a few websites.

"Hopefully it won't take too long."

"Am I keeping this, then?" asks Tyler, still with pink hair.

"You're a sorcerer, if you wanna fix it feel free."

He rolls his eyes, smirking.

Theo finishes putting his stuff away.

"It is kinda hot, though," she says, and the limo arrives to take them back home.
