My uncle is a traveling magician and he taught me most of everything I know. Well my niece was sick and she wanted me to show her magic tricks, but nothing seemed to please her more than the first thing I ever learned.

It's a story/trick combo that works very well. I won't reveal how it's done, but she is so amazed at the appearance of me ripping a paper four times and creating a star and a moon. This is a really good beginners' trick. I may post how to do it if you really would like to know.
