Do you like magic? Most people do. They like to be fooled into seeing what seems to be impossible. There's nothing supernatural about magic, and there is an explanation for everything.... even sticking a long needle into a balloon without having it POP. MJ the magician knows the trick but he won't tell anyone how it's done because then it's no longer fun. MJ's tricks have a special slant in that he likes to tie an important message to his tricks. The big needle is like someone who is bothersome all the time. You can put up with it just so long until one day even a little thing (small safety pin) can set a person off (pops the balloon). Don't be irritating to others. Be polite and mannerly at all times. You'd be surprised how much that will impress others, especially adults.
