yeah and especially you it's a trick my
father was a magician he was the
official magician for the city of New
York oh he loved to fool me
big deal I'm one of those people when I
first see a trick I don't know how it's
done and then when the second time I see
it I don't know it's done and but daddy
loved it for me got a real kick out of
that you always fooled me and this trick
fooled me and when you show this trick
to your friends you will fool them it's
very good trip you have a cardboard
actually have two little pieces of
cardboard I'm using the backs of two
pads you know and you have two coins one
coin two coins and so you show the two
coins and then you cover the coins with
the other cardboard and very carefully
pinching the coins so they don't fall
out you wave them in the air and you say
Remy Sammy Ishkabibble or whatever magic
words you want to say then you put the
coins down on the table and you remove
the card and look there's only one coin
left it's magic now where do you think
the other coin went there is no it
didn't go there that's where it started
you see I started with one coin taped
taped with double faced tape to the
cardboard then I put on the second coin
covered it with the cardboard picked it
up very carefully squeezing the one that
was loose and I waved it in the air but
when I put it down I put it down upside
down so that the one where that was
stuck was stuck to the upside
card and then I pointed now you'll
notice I didn't take it away like this
I took it away like this pointing and
everybody's eye follows the finger and
they look and they'll be so surprised
and this is a very good way to make your
money stick to you

around in the village square to stand
and stare at his ragged clothes and his
long white hair I know everyone in town
