Manny & Gypsy
Manny
Gypsy
Description: A magician in PT Flea’s circus, Manny the praying mantis works alongside Gypsy, his beloved gypsy moth wife, in astounding the likes of all kinds of bugs. Or at least that would be the case if their act wasn’t so disliked by those that mock and ridicule them. Regardless, these two love bugs will continue to wow their audience to the best of their abilities. Because a true magician never reveals their secrets.

The performers have thought about working amongst themselves with a new magic trick Manny proposed. He has an idea that will utilize the clown performers with Heimlich particularly as the main focus. What appears to be a simple tarot card reading from Manny should bring about misfortune and wacky antics for Francis & Slim, but juxtaposingly lucky and fortunate outcomes for Heimlich.)

Campaign: (Manny & Gypsy are still trying to perfect their magic act to the best of their abilities, but still need some improving on Gypsy’s entrance.

From her advice, a whole new audience has been found, and the circus bugs are gaining more and more praise and admiration as a whole.)
