I perform a large amount of magic shows for kids. From kids birthday parties, weddings, holiday camps and schools. Here is a true story. Although not too funny it amused me making me consider teachers and just how their brains work… differently from others! Martin the Magician.

The special moment show was over. I rapidly packed away my props ready to create a rash exit in the school. The show went well, about 200 children intrigued with silliness, magic and juggling.

Used to do the best trick, suspending a tumbler filled with water upside lower on the teachers mind with only a sizable playing card stopping everything receding over her. Children usually have loved this routine. “Now shall I distance themself the credit card?” After a little teasing they shout “yes” I usually reply “you rotten lot” I actually do it and also the water remains suspended within the tumbler until its release, falling and splashing in to the plastic bowl. I Then tell the kids to visit home and test the fit Mother and Father, “try not to blame me whether it goes completely wrong” I only say. “Yes we’ll” all of them bellow back.

Well, I’d several lengthy journeys to the vehicle, which could take absolutely ages when you have endless quantity of doorways to obtain finished coded locks. On my small last trip I observed a really wet male teacher inside a classroom drenched with what should have been water. Another male teacher (the acting magician) alarmingly asking me for more information concerning the water trick. “I brought out the bit of card and also the water just arrived on the scene!” He stated… I checked out the wet teacher who clearly looked really miserable concerning the whole factor once the acting magician recommended that could be because his subject was slightly bald. “Might be” I clarified and searching bewildered and without thinking ongoing to indicate the first little bit of the secret was basically the science bit that utilizes air pressure however the second area of the trick uses magic. I’d ordinarily have worded this explanation differently to adults who realize that magic does not really exist but underneath the conditions made the decision about this childish explanation.

This explanation appeared to operate I figured. I Then observed the wet teacher was beginning to fill the tumbler again. (As though he wasn’t wet enough!) I left these to it and ongoing from the building curious about primary school teachers. I am still wondering!
