Discovering Magic at the Best Shop

As a child, I had the privilege of learning magic at the finest magic shop in the world. This place was renowned not only for its incredible tricks but also for its unparalleled customer service. It felt as if the staff could read your mind! One standout was Verne, a remarkable magician who seemed to anticipate my every desire before I even entered the store. He would often challenge me, saying, “If I can’t guess the trick you want today, it’s free.” Remarkably, I never walked away with a free trick during my visits.

All the magical items were displayed beneath a glass counter, and I could spend hours admiring them. Eventually, I would narrow my choices down to just a few. Each trick had a neat label indicating its price, making my decision-making process easier.

When I finally selected a trick, Verne would already know my choice. However, there was one mystery he never revealed: how he knew which trick I would pick. Over the years, I gathered subtle hints and clues, piecing together the experience to share with you what it felt like to be part of that magical world.
