magic tricks

My Mommy was SO SMART about things. Once when I was 3 years old (one of my earliest memories) we lived on the third floor of this rented room of a house. My Mom had me and my brothers look out of the window at some older kids down there
who were dressed in odd costumes. She said to us "those are 'trick-or-treaters' ... they're going to come up here and knock on the door and we will give them candy" ! (pause for dramatic effect here)..... and THEY DID ! I remember thinking "How did my mommy KNOW that was going to happen "?..."She must know everything" !
But also in the back of my mind was another thought... "why is she giving these other kids OUR candy...didn't she buy it for US (me and my brothers)" ?!

I used to believe that when you lost things, it sometimes was because they had really vanished.

I used to sincerely believe that when I turned eleven, I would receive a letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry inviting me to attend, just like Harry Potter. I always imagined how fun it would be learning to use my secret magic powers, and wondered if I would eventually get an english accent because the school was in britain. On my eleventh birthday, I was extremely disappointed when nothing came in the mail for me except birthday cards.

when i was little, my grandpa would pretend to open and close the windows in the car by pressing an "invisible" button located in the middle of the windshield. of course, he was using the side buttons with the other hands, but i thought it was so cool he had a magical, invisible button!!

One day at daycare we watched a McDonalds movie thing and a guy on there said if you can't see them they can't see you.Ya...hide and seek wasn't my strong suit.

I used to believe that I can change the upcoming sequence of events by just making up what's gonna happen and deciding it will happen.

Sometimes it worked! ^_^

I used to believe that when you looked into a raindrop on the window, that it was magic because of the way things appeared in the the drop, thats what my mom told me anyway :)

back in elementary whenever we got school pictures the caption on the handouts always read "if you think this picture is special now, think of how special it will be ten years from today" and I used to think that after ten years from that exact moment something very special, magical would happen. I waited and waited....

I used to think that if I acted like a had a Superpower (e.x flying), I would eventually develop that Superpower. I spent days jumping and skipping everywhere in hopes I would "fly".

i watched a cartoon once when i was little that said about how tricky genies can be. so i decied i would make a contract for it (which i still have.) but i was never able to find a genie bottle.

When I was little, I always thought that trick where you saw someone in half, I thought they really were cut in half, just that they didn't feel it. But when they come out all right, I was always surprised. Either that or I would be covering my eyes.

When my neice was three years old and she would always steal my boyfriend's hat and end up loosing it. One night when she tried to take it, he threw it to my and I hid it from her. When she asked where it was, we told her the garbage man took it. Apparently she believed it, because a week or so later, she was tired of playing a toy, and asked him to throw it to the garbage man. She is now four, and every now and then still brings that up.

there was this really funny belief among all us friends that if you put the remains of a sharpened pencil in a mug of water,it would turn into an eraser by the next day!so all of us kids would go the terrace with glasses of water and pencil sharpenings!

When my Dad and his brothers (my uncles) were young, my Grandfather had them convinced that by him placing their empty M&M wrappers in his shirt pocket and spinning in a circle he could magically renew them into an unopened package of candy. He masterminded this by placing an extra bag of M&M's at the time of original purchase within his pocket in advance to giving his children their candy. Furthermore, he was succesful in materializing a bag of M&M's remotely into his shirt pocket upstairs via the same method. My Dad (the oldest of his brothers) believed these tricks until he was eight.

I believed that when i was 11 i would become a wizard like harry potter get a letter from hogwarts and get a magic wand. I looked forward to my 11th birthday so much. when i realised i wasnt magic i cried my eyes out at the thoughts of being a muggle. thats harry potter for you!!

I used to believe in magic and miracles...

When I was 9 years old I had this Barbie album with sticks on it and every night I wished that when I woke up in the morning I would have her wonderful clothes in my wardrobe. Of course, it did never happen, but I kept wishing for some time, till I stopped liking the Barbie and begun thinking it was kind of childish. Nowadays I can´t even believe waht kind of girl would wish that, but that was my belief.
