The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for April 05, 2021

OTOH, it was a lot easier to make the broccoli disappear from your plate, so you could have dessert.

I’d like to tell Daddy where to put his wand!

I find it magic that the oven could fit pans that are wider than the door. Open sesame!

That’s “Coperfield” with one ‘p’ by Edmund Wells.

what a lot of bullwinkle…

Everyone has to learn what words to use and in what situations.

Waldo Copperfield?

Average cadaver?

When he learns the ropes maybe You’ll disappear!

He could have used kinetic magic to take a cookie from the tray.

He got so upset that he made the whole house disappear.

And he really tired of Dad’s oft-used trick: Watch me make these cookies disappear!

His dad is obviously an amateur hack magician. I’ve seen David perform live twice (one of those times in Las Vegas) and while it’s been 20 years now since then, I don’t remember him ever uttering the phrase “abracadabra” at the end of his illusions (or “ta-da” for that matter either, just in case anyone was wondering (LOL!)). :-D

I only remember how amazingly magical those performances really, truly felt on both those nights ….. especially the one in Vegas! :-)

My mom got way more cookies per sheet.

I thought the magic word was “presto”.

Funny. But I don’t believe for one minute that David Copperfield would be that mean to his son!
