The kids were playing together at my sister's place today. They were showing off magic tricks (some of which I'd taught them a week or two ago). We had an extra couple of minutes, so I invented two card tricks on the spot.
"Pick a card. Any card you want. Take a good look at it. Now, put it on the top of the deck. Good. You ready? ... Is this your card?"
"Pick a card. Any card. Okay, now put it back anywhere in the deck. I'll close my eyes. Ready? Okay. Is this your card? How about this one? Is this your card? Is this your card? ... *ten cards later* Is this your card? It is? Yay!"
Both were big hits. My niece said the first was her favorite trick of the day. What's life without a little magic?
