Magic or Mayhem

Gwen was recruited to be the Mistress of Ceremonies.  She would wear her very brief Daisy Mae costume from the Oar House and introduce each act by carrying a placard with the name of the act, across the stage.  The letters on the placard would be scrambled so the audience could not read them.  Gwen would magically shake the signs.  BOOM, the letters would rearrange themselves to read correctly.
