Well, I guess I still have a few tricks up my sleeve. winks playfully But seriously, you did a great job with that trick.
Thanks, I learned it from a magician who came to our school.
That's impressive, sweetie! You've always had a knack for tricks and illusions. Maybe we should encourage you to pursue that as a hobby or even a career.
That would be awesome! I love doing tricks and making people smile.
