"It sounds like I have to. I don't want to be the reason one of us gets hurt."

He said with a nod.

"Heh. I don't mind."

Sean plays Mary had a little lamb briefly.

"I like helping."

Confidence with women?

"No, I've got most things in my life under control."

"A coin trick might be easier."

He said reaching into his pocket and moving in so that he stood next to Nanners.

"So the thing about magic is that it's all about misdirection and hiding things in plain sight. Ya know?"

"One of the ones I like to use has a second prop, a pen."

He'd open up a portal and pull out a normal ball point pen.

"So, we place our coin in an open palm facing the viewer. And then we make a fist over it."

He'd do so.

"So what I'm going to do is tap the hand with the pen three times and the coin will disappear!"

With large arm motions Eric tapped the hand once with the pen, on the second go the pen was gone, and on the third the pen was still gone. He would open the hand to show the coin was still there.

"So what I did here is I am creating the distraction with the dramatic arm motions. Most people will focus on the coin hand to make sure I don't do anything funny."

He'd turn and show Nanners where the pen was.

"I tell them I made a mistake and the pen has vanished, but not to worry I always keep a spare. At that point I flourish my empty hand and pull it back out from behind my ear. This is when I subtly stick the coin into my pocket before doing the trick again. Lo and behold it has vanished."

Sean laughs after the display.

"That's very clever. Color me impressed."

"I'd suggest practicing it on your own before doing it in front of people, but if you ever need a party trick there you go!"

"I'll keep that in mind. Thank you."

"Hey, it's all about that give and take my friend."

He laughed.

"Thanks. My old therapist always used to say I was blessed to have the ability to give so much. I try to take that to heart."

"Just be careful."

Sean gives a small warning.

"Sometimes not everyone here is pulling in the same direction."
