A magical victim
Hi everybody!
My name is Fran and I am a magician for kids. Oftenly my co-workers are afraid of working with children because.. ¡they are unpredictable!. Yes, indeed, they are like drunk people, and when you have a very well-prepared show, when everything must be extremelity extremely accurate and predictable (yes, we are oftenly close to the paranoia) a single child can ruin the entire act. ..or at least, that's how a stage professional would think.
Well.. then it´s what is needed is a change of focus.
Hey folks! Listen carefully, there here´s a secret: your act can be done in three ways. the killer, the victim, or the witness.
which means that you can be the active performer (I´m going to do this.. and here it is!) or you can just be present in the scene doing "nothing" (oh! what´s that?) or you can "try" to do the magic while suffering the consequences.
For me it´s the funniest way to perform, because nobody is thinking in about THE SECRET, no. Rather than this, the audience is enjoying the trip, not only the last seconds of the show, but every moment that you´re in need. (This does not make sense). And no matter what way you said the trick was going to finish, because it´s always unexpected. (What are you trying to say here?)
But, kids are a bit tough. In With their bizarre sense of humor, once they´re sure you´re a mess, they have called me you 'silly', and.. well.. several insults, even drunk. (You switched from "you're a mess..." to "called me")
At this point my co-workers would yell instead of being yelled at, but that's the hint that tells me that I´m doing it right. And, at the end, when 'they' do the magic for me it´s the happiest moment for a kid, cause they have helped an adult ¡ more than this! an adult with magical powers.

This was a joy to read. I don't think you will have much trouble speaking English, but you need to watch your spelling - and your curious use of Spanish punctuation marks. I loved your upside-down exclamation marks, (¡) but they don't exist in English, and the ones we do use (!) only come at the end.
By co-workers do you just mean other people who work in the same business? (A co-worker is a colleague, a helper).
Very enjoyable!

Congratulations. It strikes me, than in the long run, you will be like David Copperfield.
