“Well, I’ll admit, most known magicians don’t like to give away secrets, even on the simple tricks. They don’t want to lose business if people use the basics to try and figure out the more complicated ones.” He raised a hand and scratched his cheek.

“I myself think that it’s silly. If it makes people happy, why not teach some magic?”
