neighbors and magic

I probably have the best next door neighbor any one could have, he ia a young airman with 2 little girls probably 5 or 4 yrs old. at 1st when they moved in a couple of years ago  the little girls were very shy, they would peak around the corner of the car while i was mowing the lawn. sometimes briefly wave at me and then hide, but after a couple of years now they know me , they holler at me and call me Mr. neighbor (gee that dont make me feel old) they rush to tell me stories from their church school. What does that have to do with magic, well give me a minute and ill get around to that. I love magic and all the magic guys on tv, i take it in spells, sometimes i will study it practice it and some tricks im pretty good at, but it does take a lot of practice over and over again by your self to get it right(thats something im not good at) I can do most all of the card tricks and the mind reading tricks, those are easy and ya can find out how to do most of those on you tube. but i found out how to make water dissapear in a paper funnel, make a silk hankie disapear in the palm of me hand, that stuff takes lots of practice! a yyear or so ago my grandaughters come home from indiana and i had put a small act together for them, now they were 16 and 13 at the time and i did the cardf & mind reading tricks and they were impressed, then the water and the silk cloth disapeared they were really impresed!!! but when i jabbed the meat skewer in my arm and the blood was running down that kinda freaked em out, especially when i invited them to push it back and fourth in my arm with blood running, well that was the end of my magic show, they didnt like that part at all! No i didnt jab a meat skewer in my arm and yes it was fake blood but i made it look real and they were about 2 feet away from me and it freaked em out!! Im a grandpa, thats what i do,lol! thats the down side of magic, iv studdied it watched it i know how some things are done not all, trust me i dont know 1/8th of how they do that stuff but what i do know is that after ya get the shock and awe from grandkids the desire to practice dwindles. yea i still pull out the easy and cheesy ones on Anita"s nurses and Bath lady once in a while like the messed up rubiks cube i can toss in the air and catch in my hat and ta-da its solved, but the hard ones iv kinda let go, but im kinda getting the urge to start again but i know its hours and hours of practice alone because ya dont want anyone to see what your doing and 90% of the time your gonna screw it up! trust me 1 trick takes hours to perfect! and ya only have 1 chance to show it! card tricks are easy and iv spent a ton of time practicing those before i show anyone. and the disapearing stuff, i can do it and its really pretty easy if ya have practiced. Iv got 1 of those iv been gonna pull out on Anita"s bath lady but im still just a little unsure, iv done all the prep work but still im unsure!                                Now that iv mentioned Anita"s bath lady maby i should explan that, since she had her stroke several yrs ago her mind is just fine its just that the body dont work anymore, she caint walk, caint get in the shower or go to the bathroom, well i handel the bathroom mishaps but there is a bath lady or ladies that come by 3 times a week and give her a bath in the chair, there is Jana or Janie or Jania i caint spell her name she comes by most of the time and Anita just loves her to death she is young and our nickname for her is sweety ya just wanna hug her like a teddy bear, then there is Misty, a big ol party girl she is loud and speakes her mind, orders me around like a step child for the water and soap and lotion and stuff but ya know what we like her a lot too!she is funny and she loves us! she dont mind telling us about her nite at the nite club last nite! and on occasion Larissa comes by she comes in does her job and will sit and talk for a while, we like her also, she gives me mexican recipe"s to try. But Anita will not let anyone wash her hair except myself and Jania, and she prefers that Jania does it! and she wont let anyone cut and shape her hair but yours truly, ME! and when im doing that she calls me Mr. Risharde the gay french hair dresser! maby under the circumstances we just have too much fun for a couple of old farts. but the underlying word is we have FUN! no matter what! hey iv messed around and its the 4th of july already, i gotta get some sleep iv got cookin out to do, goodnite
