J took a class about Houdini and magic tricks at the children's museum yesterday. He put on a little magic show for us when he got home. Here, he makes a quarter disappear. He told us that Houdini didn't use "Abracadabra", or any other magic words, so he insists on not using them, too.
The magic spoon-arising-from-behind-a-napkin illusion.
The mysterious growing magic wand.
Meanwhile, back at the museum, Zoo Boy spent the time J was in class riding the high seas of his imagination, deep sea fishing...
...and convincing museum employees to take out animals for him to pet, and talking them into taking him behind the scenes to see animals that are not out on public display. We're sort of becoming a fixture at that place, and Zoo boy is slowly weaseling his way into the inner workings, convincing volunteers to let him help clean cages and feed the animals, and garnering invitations into the office and behind the exhibits. Museum policy limits volunteers to age 14 or above, but he's working his hardest to get them to bend that rule. He reminds me a lot of someone...let's see, who was that...oh, yeah, ME!
