Magician introduces two Circus Clowns called “SPOTTY” and “STRIPEY” because of their very distinctive Dress! Pointing to a very attractive house he says, “and they live at number SIX Paradise Street”. The kiddie’s yell … “No, it’s number Nine!” “Sorry,” says the magician, and he cleverly causes the number to change!
