 Dear Tommy,

I am glad you came to my school. We loved listening to the story and watching the magic! We love reading. I hope you are not hungry! Come back soon.

Love,

Amanda

Sugar Cube Trick

Thanks so much to Susan for sending this in!!

Effect: 

The magician asks for a volunteer from the audience. 

The volunteer picks a number between 1 and 10. 

The magician writes the number on a sugar cube. 

The magician drops the cube into a cup of water and holds the volunteer's hand over the water.

He/she turns the volunteer's hand over and Poof! the number is on the volunteer's hand.

Supplies:
