Magic

• Magic

Read this to yourself.

Read it silently

Don't move your lips.

Don't make a sound.

Listen to yourself

Listen without hearing anything

What a wonderfully weird thing, huh?!

NOW MAKE THIS PART LOUD!

SCREAM IN YOUR MIND

DROWN EVERYTHING OUT!

now hear a whisper, a tiny whisper.

Now read the next line in you best crotchety old-man voice:

"Hello there, Sonny. Does your town have a post office?"

Now who's voice was that?

It sure wasn't yours!

How do you do that?

How!?

Must be magic
