Unfortunately for the magician the captain's parrot saw every shows every week and learned all the tricks. This wouldn't have been a problem however the parrot began sharing the tricks with the audience.
For example (in Parrot's voice) "Look, it's not the same deck of cards!", "He has two rabbits, one is under the table", "All the cards are hearts" etc.
Of course the magician was furious but if he tried anything with the parrot he would lose his job.
One day the ship hit a rock and sank. As luck would have it the parrot and the magician both found themselves clinging to the same plank miles out at sea in the middle of nowhere.
They stared at each other for days but neither said a word. Just as it seemed as if the one would speak the silence would continue. Finally after a week the parrot finally gave in,
"Ok, I give up, where did you hide the boat?"
