Books for the Magic Shop: It Begins with Spooky Tricks

As I really get started on this little magic shop, one thing that I know I'm going to be making a LOT of is books. Many, many books. But I knew that there was one in particular that I needed to make right from the start. It was always going to be the case that the very first book on the Mini Mountain Magic shelves would be "Spooky Tricks".




Back when I was in elementary school, there was nothing better than "free book day". Getting to wander into a classroom that was just COVERED in books and getting to pick one out just for you, for FREE? Seriously the best. And that's how "Spooky Tricks" came to be my first ever magic book. I loved this book. I still do. There are some really good tricks in here! (Even though I never could get my little brother into the box for one of them. Alas.)



Anyway, all that to say there will be MANY books filling Mini Mountain Magic, and they won't all be real books like this one (I would love it if they were, but I just do not have time before the show).




But this one had to be real. It had to be first. It was never going to be any other way.

Wishing you a magical Tuesday full of wonderful books in whatever scale you prefer.

Rabbit! Rabbit! Rabbit! Happy May!

 


Years ago, a magical friend introduced me to the idea that when you wake up on the 1st of the month, the very first words out of your mouth should be "Rabbit! Rabbit! Rabbit!" (or "White Rabbit! White Rabbit! White Rabbit!") and it will bring you good luck for the entire month. 

Dunno if that's true or not, but it is a superstition I practice. Hopefully it brings me luck. :) 

He taught me a few practices like that. Because of him, I drink the moon every month too. But that's a different story.  :) 

Wishing you a Magical May!
