The Magic Encyclopedia

No, it's not an encyclopedia that is magic, it is an encyclopedia OF magic. Magic tricks, that is. It's got all sorts of crazy string, card, coin, hanky, rope, and ring tricks. It's absolutely wonderful. Especially when you have nothing to do.
My favorite tricks are the card ones. Most of the time, all you need is a deck of cards. Every now and then you may need to get an extra one, or you may need an old deck that you can write on, but most of the time, all you need is one deck. New cards work the best because you can bend and shuffle them well. Card tricks normally involve guessing a card or finding one.
Rope tricks, those are fun. All you ever need is a rope and a ring. A couple ropes might do it, because you might be cutting one in half. Rope tricks involve tying and removing without taking out the knot, untangling it, or getting it through the ring. Fun fun.
Coin tricks are not all that easy to come by. I mean, sure, there are some out there, but most of them are not all that good. It's rare to actually come by a REALLY good coin trick that nobody can figure out. Cause coin tricks are easy to figure out. But they're still really fun.
I love magic tricks. It's especially fun when you have an audience of little kids because they're all like "How did you DO that?!" and they almost never figure it out. Wheras big kids (*cough* Moby) want you to do it over again until they know how to do it. Or they just ruin all the fun trying to examine every bit of equipment. My fun tricks have been ruined that way. Next time I'll just have to do everything on a table and not let anybody come up to it without permission.
I also love mind tricks. You know, the ones where you guess what the person has written down, or what they're thinking. Especially ones that involve math. Love those.
I remember one time a couple years ago, it was some school break, and I did this big magic show thingy for all my brothers and sisters. They weren't enthusiastic volunteers, but I bribed them with one of those M&m dispenser machines. The ones where you pull a lever and out pops a couple m&ms. We have two, which are both in my dad's office at work. One of them was the yellow M&m guy sitting in a chair with a remote. If you lift the hand holding the remote, the bottom of the chair opens and lets out a few m&ms. The other one was the blue M&m guy playing the saxophone. If you lift up the sax, the floor opens up and lets out a couple candies.
Time to publish this and go. Two minutes left. See ya'll Wednesday, cause Monday and Tuesday is a break! Hopefully! Bye bye!
