Oh my gosh, look at these faces…
These are the expressions I see…
…whenever I perform my new magic trick, haha.
It all began one lazy morning, when I was lounging on my sofa and decided to check out some magic videos on YouTube. I’ve always liked magic — including the mentalist at my 40th and my kids’ glowing thumbs — and I was curious to learn something myself.
I came across this surprisingly easy tutorial, above, which shows you how to instruct a person to “randomly” choose four cards from a deck — but you end up making all four cards the same number. The guy in the video does the trick with four threes, but when I perform it for kids under 11 years old, I make it so they choose their own age.
Who knew it was so much fun to have a trick in your back pocket?
So random, I know! Do you know any magic tricks? Or have any other jokes/games up your sleeves? (I also love this number game when all else fails.)
P.S. How to be a neighborhood auntie, and what little things enchant your children?
