Magic Trix

Now that our family is pretty much back to normal, they are up for doing silly things again. Being silly and having fun is one of the biggest reasons I wanted to become a Mom. So, last night I found a couple of simple magic tricks for the girls to learn and then show one another. It was neat to see how genuinely interested they were in performing a trick for the other sister. They had their Dad and Addy as part of the audience as well. Lexy went first and had her Dad volunteer. I could tell that he was really trying to figure out what she was doing. It was great to see Alexys smiling the entire duration of her magic trick, it was easy to see that she was enjoying herself. She did a great job and pulled her trick off without a hitch, and even got to do it a second time because Apryl was dying to figure out how she did it. Next, Apryl performed a card trick. These always get Matt thinking. He likes to spoil the surprise of the "magic" by doing everything he can to find out what the "trick" is. Apryl also did very well and pulled her trick off without any hitches for both Matt and Lexy. Matt says, "it's just a math thing!". Well, yes my hubby is a genius after all. Of course there is a reason why the magic is just a trick or an illusion, but not knowing is supposed to be part of the charm. That is essentially how magic works! For the girls it didn't matter if their Father figured out how they did their tricks or not, they simply enjoyed having every one's attention on them, and the probably liked being able to fool their Dad a little bit also!
