Johnny smiled a bit at the magic spectacle. It was always fun to see magicians, especially ones who could disappear, and he didn't like merchants much, especially ones like this. So the ridicule was fine. He didn't like the commotion that had been caused by it, though. He considered intervening when the women had come out and calmed things down.
He thought about trying to find the magician, or sitting and trying to make conversation, or maybe buying a drink. He discarded the ideas, eventually stepping out the door for some fresh air.
