"You can do magic?"“just sleight-of-hand. Kid stuff, no actual magic,” but Jon’s excitement over this development could not be tempered.Jon left his card fan on the table, forgotten, and said, “can you do it again?”Jay did, because how could he possibly say no. There was no showmanship this time, though. Even a child without any of Jon’s super perception could figure out how he did it, but Jon still had that look of wonder. Jay smiled a little and did it a third time, this one with the classic misdirect of pointing at something invisible flying by before snatching the card from the ether. Jon actually jumped.And then he asked “where did you learn to do that?” and Jay was taken a decade and a continent away.
