You Can Do Magic

Magic - Extraordinary power of influence, slight of hand

I have always been amazed by the talents of my children
(well young adults) they both have the talent of teaching
themselves whatever they want to learn and they have become quite accomplished at it.

5 years ago my son picked up the hobby of Magic
we have boughten many magic tricks from specialty
magic shops and plenty of decks of cards.
we have been a captive audience and also his
testing crew to test the tricks on! ( we were always amazed by them)
this past Saturday as a favor to one of my relatives for their job my son taught a small group of children at Barnes & Noble he was so good and had the group in awe after teaching the coin magic trick he also did a few card tricks for the kids. he was so patient and kind. it makes a mother proud!

my son has done magic shows for some local schools, and even a couple of birthday parties
and at an assisted living home. he can release himself out of a straight jacket, last year for a school project he portrayed Harry Houdini and did the straight jacket trick.( although amazing
no mom likes to see their son in a straight jacket!)

He also once did a magic show for the whole family he originally fell into this hobby as a eye and hand coordination exercise and well as I stated earlier he had a real natural knack for it
among his many talents he can act, play the guitar,design set, and he was the youngest student
from his Aikido class to earn his black belt he was 16 !

I know all these talents will always be apart of him and have somehow prepared himself
for whatever other hidden talents he has yet to find through his journey of self discovery

I can't wait to see what the magic will bring.
