International Exchange With Magic

My Magic Buddies

My Magic Buddies

On Thursday night I went out to a Oden Kiosk to eat Oden (a hotchpotch type food) with some friends. There were not magic friends but magic entered the mix. We were enjoy the atmosphere of the small kiosk and eating oden and just relaxing. After we were there a while two high school girls came to eat but where I live there are not many foreigners. So they had the typical reaction when they see foreigners, a bit shocked and they were not sure if they should stay and sit down or go. My friends who are Japanese told them come on in a sit down. They had them try to ask me some questions in English but they were to shy to do so. They I started to speak Japanese to them and they relaxed a bit. Then my students let my secret out of the bag and told the two girls I was a professional  magician. I think this confused them and were not sure how to take it. Then I pulled out some magic and performed. This was probably the first time they had ever seen magic live. They enjoyed the magic and started to relax to the idea that I was not Japanese. The effect of my magic was stronger than the magic effect because it made them become more relaxed and not scared of the blued eyed foreigner. This is the best result from me doing magic. They will now probably be less timid the next time they meet a foreigner. The rest of the night went well as I continued to do magic for different people who came to the small kiosk. I was not working there as a magician but just a regular customer but I made some new friends and the friends I was there with had a great time too. The power of magic can be very strong and can break the ice between people of different ages, races, and, language. This is the true power of magic.
