Little Witch Nobet's Skin Little Witch Nobet was known all around for her magical powers and mischievous adventures. With her pointed hat and sparkling eyes, she would roam around the enchanted forest, casting spells and creating potions. One day, while exploring a hidden corner of the forest, Nobet stumbled upon a spellbook that caught her attention. It contained a recipe for a special potion that claimed to give her the most beautiful and flawless skin anyone had ever seen. Excited by the prospect of having perfect skin, the little witch decided to try the potion. She gathered all the ingredients mentioned in the spellbook and carefully followed the instructions.

The Magician’s Library

What’s up his sleeve is as interesting as what’s on his shelf: For the last sixty-five or so years, Leo Behnke has been a professional magician with a passion for collecting (and writing) books on magic. Why would a magician need a library? “Magic and medicine are probably the two subjects that have the most printed material on them in the world,” Behnke said. The opportunities for research and learning in this field are practically endless.
A tour of the library in Behnke’s home in Las Vegas, Nevada, involves not just flipping pages, but also slinging stories from days of yore. The eighty-six year old was one of the magicians at Disneyland when it first opened, and while there, he mentored a young Steve Martin (who called Leo’s card handling “hypnotic,” and his strict code of discipline influential). From Disneyland, Behnke went on to consult for television and films.
But books were always there. His first real magic book purchase was Modern Card Tricks and Secrets of Magic by Harry Blackstone (first published in 1932 and 1929, respectively, and then combined in 1941). After a stint in the navy, it was back to magic and more magical finds, like a 1766 edition of The Doctrine of Chance, a mathematical study of probability. Behnke’s fascination with cards, paper, and the physical artifacts of magic led to a greater interest in the preservation of these items, eventually bringing him to Las Vegas to work as the curator for David Copperfield’s magic library in 1993.
Moving to Las Vegas was a turning point as a collector, too. Behnke’s collection topped well over 2,000 volumes—a relatively small magic library, he explained, but a little much for him. “I found I was supporting the library instead of the other way around,” he said. He auctioned off all but one hundred books and started anew. He also met his wife, Pat McCarty, founder of the book preservation lab at the University of Nevada Las Vegas Libraries, and together they started Ace of Books, a book repair company. Thanks to Behnke’s expertise, they receive a large number of restoration requests from magicians, who send them magic books as well as playing cards and other magic paraphernalia.
In 2000, Behnke published The Conservation of Magic, a guidebook to preserving and organizing magic books, ephemera, and collectibles. The book isn’t simply about caring for and displaying objects at their best, it’s a guide to preserving knowledge and passing it on.
But herein lies a tricky question: Are there things about magic that shouldn’t be shared? Behnke dodges the query by explaining the controversy within the magic community: “It's divided. We don't really have a pat answer for that.” Some are against printing magic secrets entirely, while others point out that most readers will forget the trick after a while. “They're more interested in being entertained than in how the tricks are done,” said Behnke.
And there’s another reason why magic will still carry an appeal for audiences, no matter how many books are published on the subject—whether the magic on stage involves floating, producing money from thin air, or having control over the form of inanimate objects, the illusion “tugs that inner you, and you identify with what the magician is doing,” Behnke said. “It’s our dreams.”
If I were the main character, the story might go like this:
She looked in the mirror, and to her astonishment, her skin started to glow with a radiant light. Her blemishes and imperfections disappeared, leaving behind a flawless complexion. Word quickly spread about Little Witch Nobet's magical skin. People from all over the kingdom wanted to get their hands on the potion that had transformed her appearance. Nobet started receiving requests and demands for the potion, and she saw an opportunity to start her own business. She set up a small shop in the enchanted forest where she brewed and sold her magical skin potion. People lined up every day to purchase the potion, hoping to achieve the same flawless skin as Little Witch Nobet. However, as the demand for the potion grew, so did the pressure on Nobet. She found herself spending long hours in her workshop, tirelessly brewing potion after potion. She became so focused on meeting the demands of others that she neglected her own well-being. Months passed, and Nobet's perfect skin began to fade. Dark circles formed under her eyes, and her once glowing complexion started to look tired and dull. She realized that in her quest to make others happy, she had neglected herself. Determined to find a balance between her business and personal life, Little Witch Nobet decided to change her approach. She hired some helpers to assist her in brewing the potions and decided to limit the number of potions she sold each day. This way, she could take care of herself while still fulfilling the demand for the magical potion. Slowly, Nobet's skin started to regain its radiance as she focused on her own well-being. She realized that true beauty came from within and couldn't be achieved solely through potions and spells. The enchanted forest continued to buzz with the stories of Little Witch Nobet's skin, but this time, people admired her not just for her flawless appearance but for her determination, resilience, and self-care. Little Witch Nobet's story teaches us that taking care of oneself is just as important as taking care of others. We should always remember to prioritize our own well-being and not get carried away by external pressures and demands. After all, true beauty lies in being kind, courageous, and caring, both towards ourselves and others..
Reviews for "Little Witch Nobet's Skin: Potions and Potency"
1. Emma - 2 out of 5 stars:
I have to say, I was highly disappointed with "Little Witch Nobets Skin." The characters were dull and one-dimensional, and the storyline was extremely predictable. It felt like the author took a bunch of cliched ideas and threw them together without much thought. Additionally, the pacing was all over the place, making it difficult to stay engaged. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this book unless you're really desperate for something to read.
2. Jacob - 1 out of 5 stars:
In my opinion, "Little Witch Nobets Skin" was a waste of time. The writing was juvenile and lacked sophistication. The dialogue felt forced and unnatural, making it hard to connect with the characters. The plot was also incredibly boring, with no real conflicts or surprises. The book didn't bring anything new to the table and failed to excite or engage me in any way. Save yourself the disappointment and skip this one.
3. Sarah - 2 out of 5 stars:
I had high hopes for "Little Witch Nobets Skin", but sadly, it fell short of my expectations. The world-building was weak, and there were many inconsistencies throughout the story. The protagonist was uninteresting, and I found it difficult to root for her. The editing was also subpar, with numerous grammatical errors and awkward sentence structures. I wanted to like this book, but it left me feeling unsatisfied and underwhelmed.
