Learn a magic trick.

“The first ever card trick I learned I learned from my Uncle Butch. He performed the card trick at my house when I was young and I could not believe how utterly magical it was. I had to know how he did it. So I simply hounded him all afternoon until he showed me the secret. I now possessed one trick and craved more. I went to my local library and checked out every book I could find on magic tricks. I had my dad drive me to the magic store and I secured a few more card tricks with my own money.”

“Another trip to the magic store and I now owned a magician’s hat and magic wand. My mother made me a magic cape. I looked the part now and accumulated more tricks to dazzle the audience. I acquired a set of colorful scarves and learned two or three tricks, all sleight of hand. Practicing in front of a mirror allowed me to confirm I was working the trick properly.”
