Ladies Rally

In the middle of it all, a magician appeared. He had an amazing bag of tricks from which he drew, amongst many other things, some money which he could change from singles into tens at the flick of an uncovered finger. Coins would appear in his hand, without any handkerchiefs or other devices to conceal the sleight-of-hand. Then they would disappear, as if by magic! I saw it all at a range of five feet or so. Tanya was as fascinated as I was, and got even closer. For some reason, it made us laugh, the simple absurdity of what we saw with our own eyes, yet could not believe, rationally.
