His Queen

The Card

I just left mine and Henely's shared apartment in the middle of the night with all my stuff for my show at the park. The whole time there I couldn't stop thinking about the fact that I knew as soon as I got there they would only call me by my last name. Sometimes I think I should have hid who I was. I'm guessing my brother did since I haven't heard about him since we were separated...

I got to the park and set up under the tree named after my father. Before even looking up I already had a crowd, people already knew I was a really good magician they just slapped my father's name and reputation on me. I just hope he's proud of me up there..

"Hello folks, such a lovely night..especially for a little bit of magic!" Every magician knows you have to get the crowd or audience hyped up before doing anything, it's kind of the golden rule amongst magicians. I put my black fedora on the ground as per usual. (on top of my jacket, it shall not touch the ground) I looked up and saw Henely had made her way to the front of the crowd, she must have just finished her show. I came out here earlier when the park wasn't so crowded to set up for my trick.

"I think we should use some cards today, it's a nice night for some cards, right guys?" I asked the crowd and got very hyper yells in response. I adjusted the cards in my hand and got ready, I looked up at Henely and winked at her before flicking all the cards in the air so they flew in front of me and I disappeared from sight and ran behind the tree and climbed out of view. The crowd, no longer seeing me looked around confused. I smiled as a figure fell from the sky and I screamed to make it seem like figure was myself and went silent as the figure hit the ground. Some man from the front of the crowd went forward to check on the figure just to discover a pile of clothes identical to my own.

"That looks like it hurt" I called out from the tree, this time making it actually sound from the tree and not disguised. The whole crowd looked up and roared with cheers and claps as I jumped out of the tree, did a bow and smiled while thanking everyone. When everyone was gone I went back to my fedora and went through it while Henely walked up and went on and on about a tarot card. I looked up, hiding what was in my hand.

"why is this tarot card important?" I asked and I felt stupid not knowing why it was. "It's from the EYE!!!" she yelled in my ear as my jaw dropped. Almost the entire magic committee knew about the eye, it's the biggest rumored society in the magician world. I squealed while holding up my tarot card in her face and jumping up and down. "I GOT ONE TOO!!!"

And the rest of the night I don't remember going to sleep I just remember opening the first drink of celebration.
