Maurese Oteyza Owens

Unknown Mime-gician was the guest entertainer. He came out pulling on an imaginary rope; ran into an invisible wall; worked his way through a hole and found a bright light that lept from hand to hand, into his mouth and out his ear. He got Jon Melegrito to do an imaginary Tinikling dance.
