Do You Believe In Magic?

Last night, a trip to the supermarket to pick up milk for "lactarded" lil' me turned into an evening of delightful entertainment. Accompanied by le cub and his visiting sister, I stepped into Ralphs, only to encounter a tall, old gentleman dressed in a flashy blazer covered in purple sequins. His black slacks, though denied sequin treatment, sported a sparkly outline of one famous Hello Kitty. Unable to ignore the pink elephant in the room, er, grocery store, I complimented him on his pants - "Nice pants!" And boy oh boy, would we (le cub, his sis, and me), be in for a big surprise.

Turns out the strange old man dressed in the sparkly suit was a magician! And right then and there, right next to the baked-goods displays, the "Fantastic Fig" (that's his stage name), or "Paul" if you prefer his actual name, began to run through a bevy of sleight of hand maneuvers!

Super cool. Super unexpected.
