invisible to the eye.

he was a ‘well-seasoned’ magic man

who came in

to entertain the youngest children

while he wasn’t smooth

his jokes and tricks and props and velvet

had been around a long time

the children loved every trick

opened their eyes wide with wonder

as doves and bunnies and coins and cards and wands and scarves

appeared and disappeared

in all kinds of unexpected places

they eagerly

volunteered to help him

squealed and giggled and clapped with pure delight

until they lost their breath with laughter

he was a showstopper of the highest order

who had found the perfect audience.
