Well, maybe I'm not magical, but I do know a bit of magic that I use to fool the kids. I learned a trick from my mom several years ago and now I use it on my own kids. For some reason, Miles is utterly fascinated by it. Even his friends are curious. How does she do that?
Now you are wondering what the heck I'm talking about. Yeah. I know you're curious too. You'll be so impressed by my magic trick. Really. It's that good. Ok, so it isn't in the same realm as The Prestige or The Illusionist. I can't compete with Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, and Ed Norton. My trick is impressive to all three and four year olds and most five year olds. Past five and it loses any sort of mystery.
I can take off my finger.
That's my trick. Yep. I take it off. No blood. No knife. Just a little folding of fingers and thumbs and I take off my finger. Joe can kind of do it, but it isn't the same. I'm the real talent in the family, so Miles comes to me when he wants to be "grossed" out.
If only I had a video camera...
Y'all would be fascinated too. Like I said, it's impressive.
