    Brian your daughters are the best kids ever. Congrats to Penny for her book.
    I haven't heard of a short corner before so this is a new idea for me. I like that this allows for more engagement with the audience than focus on the handling of the cards.

      @sheetedkid 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I'm not sure if it's accurate to say they don't know *any* magic before coming onto the show. For one thing, Brian calls Penny a 'relative non-magician', suggesting that she knows at least a little bit. For another, her guess was that Alex had retained the card while everyone else was shuffling (which was my first thought as well); it's certainly possible for someone who knows nothing about magic to think that, but it seems more likely to come from someone who is already familiar with some of the literal tricks of the trade.
