The Showman

Vinnie Price was your average magician.  He would perform such classic tricks like sawing a woman in half, pulling rabbits out of hats, appearing to levitate, etc.  But no matter what he did, everyone saw through his tricks, and ended up not being very successful.  Not giving up just yet, he went to a magic store known as the Golden Eye to see if it would spice up his act.  However, he discovered that the shop was actually an entrance to the home of the Court of White Rabbits, a centuries old gathering of magicians that practiced in white rabbit magic, mainly spell casting and illusions.  The Court of White Rabbits told Vinnie that they could help him obtain real magic, but only if he used his powers solely to protect the innocent.  With no hesitation, Vinnie accepted, and was given the Hat of Tricks, the Cape of Flight, and a real magic wand.  Henceforth Vinnie became the Showman, a popular act in Las Vegas and magical defender.
