sound and you're like having lots of

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

late in the day very well the Sun was

bright when he woke up he slept at night

around in the village square to stand

and stare at his ragged clothes and his

long white hair I know everyone in town

tears I'm your son but now I'm grown-up
