    Hi!
    Magic is great for kids, keeps them sitting still most of the time. Sounds interesting. Have a great day!

    My kids were always intrigued by an uncle who knew magic tricks.

    This book is one I want to read.

    I think it's cool that both of your snippets mention tricks. I'm wondering what kind of tricks time plays on him when he's at his easel.

    Here's my beginning: http://myreadersblock.blogspot.com/2011/05/book-beginnings-on-friday_20.html
