Onstage, Robbins stands alone on a set that evokes a tent. Standing in front of the banner, He does a sales pitch that has been done out in front of sideshows for generations.  It is known as a Bally.  He then invites the audience to come in and watch the show.

 Todd takes off his coat and grabs his props and begins the glass eating & bottle walk presentation.  He passes a light bulb into the audience so they can see for themselves that it is real.  While the audience exams it, he does his demonstration of walking over broken bottles in his bare feet. 

Todd concludes his show with, Well folks, now you have truly seen it all, but this isnt the end.  Sideshows dont have an end.  When we come to the end, we start all over again.  Its one act at a time.  Stay as long as you like.

 The lights fade out as Todd grabs his straw hat and starts the Bally for the next show.

 Alright lets do it.  This is it, this is the one youve heard about, youve read about it.  Its the sideshow.
