THE WIZARD

My family always enjoyed playing board games, cards, and card tricks. To this day I still enjoy those pastimes and I have even taught them to my children and grandchildren. There was one trick my parents taught me, however, that was exceptionally unique. They gave me a deck of cards and told me to pull one out. I showed the card to my Mom and then she went to the telephone, dialed a number, asked if “The Wizard” was there, then said she wanted to speak to the wizard. After a minute or two she said, “Would you please tell my daughter the card?” I was, needless to say stunned when the Wizard told me the card I was holding.

Over the years, I have enjoyed thrilling my friends with the trick and now my grandsons are doing the same. Recently, when my phone rang, I recognized the voice of my youngest grandson asking, “Is the Wizard there?” We finished the call and I knew my phone would ring several more times again, as my grandson’s friends would want to repeat the trick. But in the middle of the third call, my grandson screeched “OH NO?” He had accidentally hit the speaker-phone button and all his friends heard how the trick was played!
