I am capable of performing magic. Magic is not just a fictional concept confined to books and movies; it exists within each and every one of us. **The power to create magic lies within our thoughts and actions**. When we say we are capable of performing magic, it doesn't mean that we can actually make objects disappear or levitate. Instead, it refers to **our ability to create positive change and influence our own lives and the lives of others**. Magic is about tapping into the limitless potential that resides within us.
Pair that with the sheer amount of Greevil puppets (not to mention the cavernous set), and I still have no idea how The Wickedest Witch ever happened. Why go through so much trouble for a 30 minute special that would only air once? Why not release it on video? Why hasn’t it at least turned up on any of those bargain bin DVDs where you get 18 movies for the price of one?
Pair that with the sheer amount of Greevil puppets not to mention the cavernous set , and I still have no idea how The Wickedest Witch ever happened. Shows featuring puppets like this one were super popular in the 1980s and 90s, building on the success of Jim Henson s The Muppets and Sesame Street.
Magic is about tapping into the limitless potential that resides within us. It is the understanding that **our thoughts, words, and actions have the power to manifest our desires**. Like a magician, we can use our intention and focus to bring forth seemingly miraculous outcomes.

About the Author:Martin Howard produces laugh-out-loud books for both children and adults. For children he has written How to Cook Children: A Grisly Recipe Book (Pavilion 2008), the Witches at War! trilogy (Pavilion), and Germs: An Epic Tale on a Tiny Scale (Pavilion 2010) for younger children. His work for adults includes the popular Bad Dog's Diary series (Portico) and One Grump or Two, under the pseudonym Arthur Grump (Portico 2008). Martin lives in the south of France with his wife and three children.
From Booklist:The author-illustrator team behind How to Cook Children (2009) return with this like-minded first volume in the Witches at War! series. Here it’s an apprentice who might get cooked by the witch who’s training her. First published in the UK in 2009, the novel introduces Sam, a sympathetic orphan fascinated by spells and secrets, and Esmelia Sniff, a self-described “traditional crone” who curses and cackles but hasn’t performed much magic lately. When the world’s reigning witch is murdered, both Sam and Esmelia are drawn into a competition to pick the next one. This contest satirizes TV talent programs, complete with a warlock named Sulfurous Cowl, but the rest of the book is fully entertaining as well. Stimpson’s black-and-white illustrations combine the comical with the eerie, and Howard stuffs his story with droll accounts of the witching life as well as several memorably horrid insults (one character has “less brains than a monkey’s bum”). Grades 5-7. --Abby Nolan

After several minutes of shenanigans, Avarissa learns that she can break her curse by tricking someone else into committing an evil act. The plan: Send a Greevil to the surface and have him return with a pliable young boy. Sounds legit!
However, **magic is not about control or manipulation**, but rather about harnessing the natural flow of energy in the universe. It is about working in harmony with the forces around us to create harmony in our own lives. Often, we underestimate the power we hold within. We doubt our own abilities and limit ourselves with self-imposed beliefs. But **we are capable of performing magic when we believe in ourselves and trust in our abilities**. Magic happens when we let go of fear and doubt, and open ourselves up to the possibilities that exist. It is about embracing our intuition and following our hearts. **When we align our thoughts, words, and actions with our true desires**, we can experience the magic of manifestation. So, the next time you doubt your own capabilities, remember that you are capable of performing magic. **You have the ability to create your own reality and shape your own destiny**. Embrace the power within you and let the magic unfold..
Reviews for "The Power of Prestidigitation: Mastering Sleight of Hand Techniques"
1. John - 2 stars - I found "I am capable of performing magic" to be quite disappointing. The plot was predictable and lacked any kind of originality. The characters were one-dimensional and difficult to connect with. Additionally, the writing style was dull and did not engage me as a reader. Overall, I was left feeling underwhelmed and would not recommend this book to others.
2. Sarah - 1 star - "I am capable of performing magic" was a complete waste of time. The story was confusing and poorly constructed, with no clear direction or purpose. The dialogue felt forced and unnatural, making it difficult to immerse myself in the narrative. The book also had numerous grammatical errors and typos, which further detracted from the reading experience. It pains me to say this, but I found absolutely no redeeming qualities in this book.
3. Emily - 2 stars - "I am capable of performing magic" fell flat for me. The pacing was incredibly slow, with little to no action or excitement throughout the entire book. The characters lacked depth and development, making it hard to care about their fates. The world-building was also insufficient, leaving me confused and uninterested in the magical elements of the story. Overall, it felt like a missed opportunity and a forgettable read.
4. Michael - 1 star - I regret picking up "I am capable of performing magic." The writing was amateurish and filled with clichés. The plot had no surprises and was riddled with plot holes. The author seemed to rely heavily on telling rather than showing, resulting in a lackluster reading experience. The protagonist was also incredibly unlikeable, making it difficult to root for their success. Save yourself the disappointment and skip this book.
