it's maaagic.


To Zane, everything is magic.

Today he decided he wanted to perform a magic show. So we had to make all the required materials. A magic hat, a cape and a magic wand. A blanket for the cape, rolled up construction paper for the wand and a construction paper hat put together with tape. Zane also did some wonderful drawings of magical things on his hat and signed his name so all would know it is his hat.

Now here is the really fun part. My incredibly cool job was to make the actual items disappear while Zane waved his wand and said "Abracadabra!" Yep, I put my arm behind the bilibo (a weird rounded seat thingy) and flipped the items into the bilibo to make them "disappear." I use the quotes because our audience, better known as Daddy, could still see the items.

We pulled off the trick twice then decided to make Daddy disappear. A handy dandy blanket and voila! No more daddy. At least not until Stone pulled off the cover.

I bet Zane will be the newest David Copperfield and I can be his assistant. Think he might make me disappear? I hope not, I don't like the dark.

  1. Do you think Zane could come here and make the boxes disappear and reappear in Montana? I think he can do it.
