special powers

I don't know if one would call this a "magic trick", but when I was just 5...I would have called it anything but a magic trick. Remember Mary Poppins? Well, I was her (so I thought) as I stood at the top of a flight of stairs and opened mom's umbrella and tried leaping through the air. i crashed and got a few bumps and bruises. I tried another stunt that would be sure to work after watching Batman - only this time with 2 umbrellas - I landed on the sofa and realized they used special umbrellas that not even I could get my hands on.

Once, while carrying a bowl of snacks and a glass of soda to my room, I believed I could actually drop the glass, reach into the bowl and grab a snack, eat the snack, then catch the glass and take a drink, everything perfectly unharmed. (I was 7.) I dropped the glass and took a snack and ate it. Then, I reached for the glass, but it was too late. The glass shattered upon the floor and I was grounded.

When I was little, I used to believe that if I rubbed my index fingers together (in a back an forth motion) while they looked like an 'X' it wouldn't rain and we could go out and play.

my neighbor told me that if i put pussywillows on top of my refrigerator and wished for something, the pussywillows would turn into that something. (strange neighbor!) i did it overnight and wished for star wars figures. the next morning, they were still pussywillows but i waited until about noon, checking every hour to see if they had changed.

When we were about six or seven, my best friend and I were convinced we could do magic. We'd make each other's eyes appear to change color by suddenly running towards each other. It must have been a trick of the light or something, because for an instant or so I could swear her naturally blue-grey eyes turned green!! She'd also inform me that my brown ones had turned bright blue. We wondered how to make the changes last longer--maybe by spinning around fast enough or long enough, with our eyes closed and yelling gibberish 'magic words' , we could make them permanent. No such luck, sadly.

Me and My brother used to believe that we could fly like Peter Pan, I'm sure everyone has, but we thought differently. My brother tried jumping off the couch with his so called "HAPPY THOUGHT" and fell an hit the floor so we assumed that he flew 2 seconds that a happier thought mught let us fly longer. After the stair trial run we didn't believe anymore.

My cousins were 12 and I was 6. So I made a bet with them that I could win aainst them at Warzone (playstation game) and they let me win, and one of my cousins said he thought i was physcic. To mess with me, they told me to make predictions about them and they did them on purpose ( I said he would fall down the stairs, and he did. It wasn't very believable but I was 6.) so i got really exited and I was stoked! I was physcic! So I told my uncle and he played along, and he's like "good job bud"and all the parents seemed like they knew all along. I was so exited! Then like 2 weeks later I found out it was a joke because no other predictions came true. I was pissed.

The physcic :P

After watching the film Splash a few too many times when I was little I spent ages laying in the bath, holding the shower over my legs, willing them to become a tail. After about the 4th or 5th time It occurred to me - what would I do if
they did change? I wouldn't be able to swim anywhere so I stopped.

When I was little I used to believe my dad could grow a beard at will. That he could go upstairs fully shaven and come down and have a full beard.

I used to belive that kids had powers and if you didn't master them quick you'd lose them.

When I was little I used to think that when it rained it was God taking a shower, when it thundered he was bowling and when lightning flashed he turned on a light.

If you flapped your arms fast enough you cuold fly like a bird. My friends and I tested this many times from a garage roof. We were never achieved flight. I guess we couldn't flap hard enough

Anytime my mom or dad would punish me, I believed that I could fly. I used to fly all around the house and anytime they tried to spank me, I would fly higher and higher. Man, if only that was true...I'd fly right out of here!

I used to believe (and still do) that if you repeat over and over in your mind "i'm invisible, i'm invisible" you will not be noticed, you wiil be invisible! Try it the next time you go through customs. You'll never be stopped.

One time when I was about 6, I wrote a letter to the tooth fairy asking her to give me the ability to fly. I really believed that she got the letter so I tried to fly and then i fell and my toe started bleeding. :(

Laura

I used to believe I could turn invisible and all kinds of stuff when I made some poems. I guess I thought it was a spell or something.

James the Great

When I was younger, I used to believe I was invisible. Every time I would turn "invisible" I would tell everyone around me they couldn't see me. Never dawned on me WHY they couldn't see me

Just call me Jill

While sleeping, if you hold someone, they can read your thoughts. While sleeping with my mum sometimes, i used to actually move an inch away and leave her hand just to make sure she could not read my mind.

when i was younger, i bit through a chicken wing bone, and for weeks, months even, i thought that I was a ninja!
