Old Magic...

Postby Jing » Feb 28th, '04, 19:33



Ok, so I'm sure everyone is used to answering what tricks can be done for little kids, and i know a fair few myself, but I'm going to turn it round completly...

Every two weeks i help out at an elederly residence (Aren't i nice, hmm?)
Anyway, what little tricks can we think off (Close-up of course,) that would be suitable for these experienced memebers of society. I thinking visual magic, maybe a short story although, half of them can't hear you very well!

I'm in a great situation here, because when i've shown them the trick, they'll have forgotten it in 20 minutes and i can show it them again... :wink:

I just looking for a few ideas - Thanks,
