Wednesday: magic trick

Ben came home today and showed the boys a magic trick.  It involved spreading the cards out and telling the boys which card to pick (i.e., a four of spades).  It was put to the side and the other child was told which card to pick.  Ben picked a card and then showed all the cards that were chosen; they all matched.

Isaac wanted to do it.  Ben wouldn't tell Isaac how to do it, so Isaac spread out the cards and told Ben which card to pick.  Isaac looked at the card and it wasn't the card that Ben was supposed to pick (obviously).  The look on his face when it was wrong was priceless though.  It seemed as though he had really expected it to work.
