My father was a famous magician. He did all of the most unbelievable stunts and illusions. He made people disappear and reappear. He could tell you what number you were thinking of. He could name the contents of a purse without looking inside.

Most of his stuff wasn’t duplicated until technology caught up a decade later. Some of it never was. They never knew how he did it, and he never told anyone. Except me. It wasn’t “magic”. It was real.

    Still reading all the time. Like the concept.
    This one was especially good because I have many friends who are magicians. They always say “never reveal the secret”

    Thanks, Jeremy, glad you like it. That’s the one thing I have always heard about professional magicians, and it’s common among all of them — they never tell. And they especially wouldn’t in this case. ;)
