Magician holds flower by stem and starts telling a story about how "terrific" he is at golf, selling, etc. As he goes on, the flower starts to droop lower and lower! The audience actually sees it "die" right before their eyes! Then he says, "Well, that's enough about me..." and the flower springs right back up! You might tell a story about a great new recipe for garlic ice cream... well, use your own story - a very cute item.
