Marigold walked nervously to the arena. After a quick set up of her props-some balls and other objects-she got ready.

"Piertotum locomotor," she said boldly. Her gargoyle immediately became alive. She turned to the audience. "HI EVERYONE! My first act is to have my gargoyle here-" Pause for dramatic effect. "JUMP ROPE!" She gave her gargoyle a tiny piece of rope, then nodded. The gargoyle started skipping rope, on one foot, two, faster and slower, then turning around. She then pointed. Her gargoyle dropped the rope and went towards the next prop. "Can I have a big hand for my GARGOYLE!" She hoped she earned a little applause.
