Zac, twirling his wand between the fingers on his right hand, waits patiently for the little girl's answer. When she gives it, pointing out of the window at a woman across the street, he pales. [i]I...I may be good...but I'm not that good![/i] he thinks. He was about to tell the girl that, only to feel his voice die in his throat the second he looks down at her. Just from the look in her eyes, he could tell that she thought he was some sort of all-powerful sorcerer and he didn't feel right crushing her view of him.

[i]But...I have to think of something![/i] he adds, his mind racing at a mile a minute. Then...it comes to him. Kneeling in front of the little girl, he glances at her father and Shizuka, as if to check if they were paying attention, then says to the girl, "I'll let you in on a secret: all magicians have to stick to a set of rules, or else we lose our powers. One of those rules is that we can't take things from people without their knowing. So, unfortunately, I can't take anything from that lady's bag."

Grinning, he then adds, "But, I'll show you one thing I [i]can[/i] do and it'll make what I've already shown you look like nothing." Standing up, he walks over to the counter and looks around for a moment before finding what he was looking for: an empty water bottle a customer had left behind. Taking it from the counter, he reaches into his pocket and pulls out an old [url=http://www.pakwheels.com/forums/attachments/technology/1124913d1360255181-what-your-first-cell-phone-02-1357138434-nokia3310.jpg]cell phone,[/url] one he carried around just for this kind of trick.

Returning to the table, he says, "Now, this bottle is completely normal." He then taps the phone against the side, bottom, and top of the bottle. "No way it can fit in here, right?" After the little girl nods her head, Zac then suggests, "How about we try a little magic?"

Taking the end of the phone, he taps it a couple of times against the side of the bottle once more. However, this time, on the last tap, the phone seems to slip into the bottle right through the plastic. He then presses his finger against the spot where the phone had slipped through to show that it was still sealed, saying, "Ta-dah!"
