Eli Marks was expecting to only have the one customer who stepped into "Chicago Magic" just prior to closing, but moments later in steps a kid with a simple request: making a tuba disappear, Eli tries to help the boy, while keeping an eye on the other customer and hoping he doesn't get upset about their interruption. John Gaspard's short story, an addition to his series of novels which follow the character of Eli Marks, is performed by Brandon Schenk. After the performance we speak with John and ask him to sell us on him, "The Last Customer," and some other projects he has going on.
