Now that he had a willing audience, James switched from flourishing to actual tricks, which were delivered with his typical charm and drama.  For such a natural showman, this was nothing.  He kept an engaging grin on his face, delivering a few quips along with the instructions for the volunteers for his tricks.

[color=9e0b0f]"Pick a card, madam, any card - not that card."[/color]  James pulled the cards away from the lady currently assisting him, then offered them to her again with a smile.  [color=9e0b0f]"I'm kidding, you can pick that card."[/color]  The lady smiled back and picked the card.  [color=9e0b0f]"Okay, now show it to the audience, not me."[/color]  As if to ensure that he didn't see it, he covered his eyes.

A few minutes later, he successfully completed the trick and started on another one.  James continued this way for quite a while, until his hands grew tired.  Using a bit of sleight-of-hand, he "vanished" the deck of cards.  [color=9e0b0f]"I am sorry to say that this is the end, ladies and gentlemen.  But fear not, I will return."[/color]  He gave a deep, theatrical bow.
