Amazing the circus goers with illusion upon illusion and a creative repertoire of tricks, accomplished through a secret blend of real magic and showmanship. As far as the mission was concerned things had actually gone pretty smoothly for a change. The Team together with Zatanna had narrowed down the initial list of suspects to six people. Five of them were part of the first half of the show, following up after Zatanna. They’d gathered more in depth information on each of them. There’s the [i][color=Lightcoral]Bearded Lady[/color][/i]. She has been with the circus a long time and has seemed to come across some more money, having purchased a new car and expensive jewelry. [i][color=Firebrick]The Firebreather[/color][/i]. He's always getting into arguments with the manager and often says he can find better use of his talents elsewhere [i][color=Olive]The Juggler[/color][/i]. A rude guy that doesn't bother socializing with anyone. He's been around a while, but no one really knows him. [i][color=Palevioletred]The Contortionist[/color][/i]. Recently joined the circus. Wasn't the first choice to be hired because of her attitude but somehow managed to "convince" the big boss into giving her the job. Is often mia when she's scheduled for a performance [color=Purple][i]The Fortune teller[/i][/color]. Has been with the circus on and off over the years. She makes good money off her fortune telling but her extensive collection of occult paraphernalia doesn't come cheap. [color=tomato][i]The Pyrotechnics guy[/i][/color]. Has "accidentally" burned circus property multiple times. They say he's just a clumsy guy but what if he's trying to erase his tracks? It was up to the Team to identify the supplier without tipping him or her off. Depending on their approach they could either question the performers still waiting in the back, or opt to go see them during the second half of the show. That would free the suspects schedule, but they also needed to manage their performances. Currently the Firebreather was warming up the stage. Lucky for him and the audience he was wearing a mask, so the nasty bruise on his cheek and a left black eye were concealed. The result of a minor disagreement with his colleagues. The act started out with minor feats such as putting out candles through unconventional methods. The performance flourished into swallowing burning swords, followed by fire breathing and finally walking through a wall of fire.
