Have you ever wondered what life would be like if everything you grab sticks to your fingers and doesn't come off till two minutes?

Totally annoying, right?

Before my fingers started to turn sticky, I was having some good time with my best friend, Luke Walter.

I, Andrew Thompson and Luke were going to Magical Michael's Magic Show.

"Is your spaniel, Fluffy coming with us?" I asked Luke on the way.

"No, he's in the kennel." He answered.

We spent our all pocket money to buy tickets for this show and there were huge advertisements about it all around town. So we expected this show to be marvellous. We handed the tickets to the ticket checker and flopped on the seats in the hall. The show was going to start in a few minutes. Kids of all ages came pouring in.

The lights on the stage flickered. The voice on the loudspeaker echoed through the hall: "Welcome the honoured magician, Magical Michael".

Kids cheered and clapped. A dark figure in a black coat ambled on the stage, wearing a tie as orange as a ping-pong ball.
