Dear Editor,

What a great magic show from the world champion - a world champion complete with potty jokes of 'poo'dles and 'shit'zu dogs.

He also showed us how not all tricks go according to plan - and not just once.

The show was so good, I am still wondering if there was another point to him and the lady from the audience turning the bottle in the cylinder upside down so often, beside the fact that he took her watch.

The kids were treated to not just magic, but also stories: stories of his grandmother, his family, his travels, and how he became champion.

As a matter of fact, there were as many good stories as there was magic.

Some tricks were so good, they were worth repeating: early in the program, he cut a long yellow rope that glued itself back together, and he ended the show with a string that he ripped into pieces before it glued itself back together.

One young audience member was also looking forward to a five-dollar bill under his pillow that night.

A great show of magic for the kids and the adults, from a champion magician.
