you my father taught me how to do this
trick when I was just about your age and
how old are you yeah isn't that a
coincidence that's how old I was yeah
and when you do this trick you are going
to amaze your mother and your father you
need a quarter you can borrow a quarter
you don't have to have your own and a
pack of cards you put the quarter down
on the table you cover the quarter with
the pack of cards and you say Presto
changjo
and look the quarter has turned into a
penny is that an amazing trick yay well
it's not so amazing if you know how the
trick was done okay how did I turn a
quarter into a penny there's the quarter
it got stuck to the back of the pack of
cards because what I did was I put
double face tape sticky tape on the back
of the pack so the quarter stuck and
when I started I started with the penny
hidden behind the quarter you see a
penny is not only less than a quarter a
penny is smaller than a quarter so I put
the penny and the quarter down on the
table and nobody could see the penny cuz
it was under the quarter I covered it
with the sticky part of the pack and I
went Presto chjo and the quarter turned
into the penny did you get it that time
it's the easiest way I know to turn a
quarter into a penny and it's a
wonderful trick unless your parents do
it with your allowance in which case
it's a crummy trick

your ears begin to smoke you can put out
the flame play in the game but tell

teach you how to do what I
propose ready set here
goes this is my book on rope tricks and
I learned a rope trick in it that I'm
going to teach to you and since it's a
rope trick I'm going to do it with a
rope now this is a rope and you can do
this trick with a rope or with a ribbon
or with um a piece of string you lay it
down and you say to your friends I bet
you that I can grab hold of the ends of
this rope and tie a knot without letting
go of the ends and then your friends
will grab it and they'll try all of this
and all of that oh I've seen them do it
not your friends but mine and then you
say here's how you can grab the ends of
a rope and tie a knot without letting go
of the ends have you figured it out no
here's how you do it you fold your arms
and in one hand you grab one end and in
the other hand you grab the other end
and then you unfold your arms and you've
made a knot without letting go of the
ends the reason you're able to do it is
because you actually fold the knot in
your
arms then when you grab it you transfer
the knot from your arms to the Rope
that's a good trick is it
not you'll get a lot of laughter I've no
doubt I bet you if you'll only try it
out hey hey hey that was great Charlie

they give you way to say things you must
say and they wonderful compy

me and with that you can honestly say
I've made four brand new
friends today

depressed I will pick up and go to some
notes that I know and I'm suddenly back
