Magic Tricks
"26! 18! 13!" Those numbers were called out loudly by the man standing at the stage end. He smirked as his long fingers twiddled with his dark handlebar moustache. He wore a top hat and a suit but from his expression you would think of him as a villain from one of the older movies. These numbers had been pulled out of a small cup he had hidden behind a wall of black fabric and the people in the crowd looked around for those who had been called. A little girl with soft ginger hair stepped forward with a tall, scratchily bearded man and a boy who lived on the streets with nothing but a hat that he kept close.
The magician lifted his cloak for drama and whispered into the little girl's ear and what the girl, Alicia was her name, heard was this; "You shall come with me first." He took her by her pale wrist and placed her inside a box. She shook inside of it as she heard the words, "I shall now place twelve swords through the box. Of course she had seen these shows before but it was a little scary. That's at least what she thought until she heard a "Shink!" and saw cold silver metal racing towards her, she yelped and ducked down breathing heavily as she narrowly dodged the blade. She freaked out as she narrowly avoided many the others and one sliced her dirty blond hair.
"Haha! See she's alive!" The man laughed heartily once he swung the door open. Alicia panted heavily as she was pulled out again by the man.
