It's MAGIC!

The other day, the kids did an amazing magic trick with the help of a very patient Zinsser the schnoodle.

The set up: Zinsser's kennel in the middle of the floor. Zinsser in the kennel sitting patiently. Bella and Isaac drape a blanket over the kennel, and then tell me to go into the other room "for a minute".

2 minutes later and a whole lot of scuffling noise... I'm invited back into the room. The kennel is still there with blanket over it, and bella pulls off the blanket with a flourish - TA DA!!! NO DOG INSIDE! She puts the blanket back on, and tells me to go back into the other room for another minute.

Again with the scuffling noises... And TA DA!!! She removes the blanket and Zinsser is sitting there, just like before.

What's amazing about this is that Zinsser really didn't make any fuss during this - I never heard HIM in the process. He's a good magician's assistant.
