HALLOWEENSIE CONTEST ENTRY / Boodini the Great's Amazing Disappearing Act by Lynne Marie

MANDATORY WORDS: Ghost, Moon and Spider 


            At the Halloween Hoop-de-doo rehearsal, Boodini the Great threw a sheet over himself. “Abracadabra!”
He removed it.  “I’m invisible!”
“Boo!” another GHOST groaned. “I can do that!”  
 “That’s only my first trick…”  Boodini frowned.

“I need a show stopper.” Boodini searched for Eensy SPIDER.
“All spiders climb, but you’re famous. Why?” he asked.
“I climbed in rain,” Eensy explained. “It’s all in how you look at it.”
“Ahhh!”Boodini smiled.

That night, he performed his act in front of thousands.
Then, the full MOON revealed that his audience had vanished.
He clapped. “Not every magician can make an entire audience disappear!”

  12. Hahaha Lynne! I bet Boodini's audience was surprised! :) Love that he went to Eensy for advice and that she was able to shed such wisdom on the situation. Love her line "I climbed in rain" :) Nice job telling a story, working in the mandatory words and staying within the maximum! Thanks so much for joining in the Halloweensie fun!
