They had a whole subject matter to be devoted to mundane methods used by muggles.

But she did happen to know a supposedly muggle magician, by the name of Houdini. Which was one that she merely wrote down on her notes.

Moving on though, because it seemed they were going to attempt some muggle tricks. Okayyyy... obviously she was going to use it on one of the younger kids because they were the most naive. Swiping a coin from the table, as inconspicuously as possible, the sixth year walked over to a pair of lions (Re: Rylee and Dezi).

"Yo, Willard! Whaddddupp!" Making small talk was the best way to trick him, wasn't it?

She had seen a magician do this very same trick once at some kids birthday party when she was really little. Seeing someone else do it though was very different than trying to do it yourself.

An excited voice broke her concentration and she lifted her gaze up to see who it was. "Sure you can! I know these are supposed to come apart but I'm not having any luck at all with it," the Gryffindor replied giving the rings another more gentle tug as if to prove her point. "Do you know how to do it? Want to give it a try?" Once more she tried to separate the rings more carefully before holding them out to Dezi.

Can’t say he’d ever seen the young Gryffindor focus this much in lesson before today. It seemed Miss Prichard had hit a spot of bother though, and Barlow found himself grinning. “Make sure you’re familiar with the props… sometimes they might not exactly seem as they appear.”

And as for Maeve? He had no idea what the plan with the coin was, but was he hanging around to catch a glimpse?? You betcha. [/COLOR]

Eeeeeh .... why was this older kid saying his name? Usually older kids just ignored him, it had been one of the first things he had learned at this school. Older kids thought they were too cool for armour-football, or signing petitions, or sliding down armrails or basically doing anything FUN. Still. He had grown quite a lot during the previous summer so maybe now he was one of them ... the older kids.

Whoa.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Look at him, such a lad. Copying every old teenage kid he saw out and about, he raised his hand for a high five. "Up top ... Ma ...tilda????"

Honestly. It doesn't take much to trick him. Especially since he suddenly was surrounded by older Gryffindor girls.

He really was in with the in-crowd right now, wasn't he? He could almost imagine Céline laughing somewhere behind him. Once he got permission, he plopped right on the table by Rylee and stayed there, nodding along in encouragement. "Maybe it's not luck, there has to be some kind of trick for it." Blowing a runaway curl away from his nose, the fourteen year old leaned in and squiiiiiiinted his eyes. "Something has to move in there."

Probably. That was the only thing that made sense in his head except for the loops being ... you know ... ACTUALLY MAGIC.

GASP.

"Oooh, yeah, I wanna try!" Duh. He had no idea of how to do it but right after he took the rings from Rylee, it became clear that his approach was slighty different. She was careful but he was a second away from grunting and groaning as he tried to force the rings apart when Barlow spoke and the kid almost fell off the table he must certainly shouldn't have been sitting on.

Oops.

"Aaaaahh .... sorta, Sir." The boy scratched at the back of his neck and let out a sheepish chuckle. "I mean, I've seen it done, that's all. My cousin Jeff likes magic a lot ... not that he knows I'm a wizard, obviously ... he never taught me this one though, only something with cards and I still think he used actual magic for that." He was rambling, wasn't he? Definitely rambling. But thankfully Rylee was there and she also was using the rings so Dezi just handed them to her. "I think you might be better for this, Rylee. More caaaaalm and chill."

LAD.
