Poem to try out in school tomorrow? (or today even)
Card trick without cards
He said:
I can do card tricks without cards.
I said:
Great.
He said:
Pick a card.
I said:
OK.
He said:
Have you done it?
I said:
Yes.
He said:
Put it back in the pack.
I said:
OK.
He said:
I’m shuffling the pack.
I said:
Great.
He said:
Is it this one?
I said:
Which one?
He said:
This one.
I said:
But you haven’t said which one it is.
He said:
I told you, I haven’t got a pack.
I said:
Right, I get you. Yes, it is that one. You picked the right one.
He said,
I know.
I said:
I can do writing without words.
He said:
Great.
I said:
Here’s what I wrote.
He said:
Nice.
I said:
Glad you like it.
