Question

I became a magician by accident. When I was nine years old, I learned __________ to make a coin disappear. I’d read The Lord of the Rings and went into the________ to look for a book about spells(符咒). Nine was a strange age when you were ___________enough to think that you might find a book of real, actual magic in the library. But in fact, the book I _________ taught me something about magic, and I spent the next months practicing.

At first the magic wasn't any _________ . It wasn't even magic; it was only a trick-- a bad trick. I __________hours each day in the bathroom running through the secret moves in front of the mirror. I dropped the coin thousands of __________in a day, and after two weeks of this, my mom got a carpet and placed it under the mirror to lower the sound of the coin __________again and again.

I heard my dad play pieces of new music on the piano, __________ I knew how to practice -- slowly, going for precision(精確) rather than speed. One day I tried the magic in the mirror and the __________disappeared. It did not look like a magic trick. It __________like a miracle.

One of the lessons I learn very early as a magician is that the most __________ part of a trick has nothing to do with the secret. The secret is simple: a hidden piece of tape, a small mirror, a special playing card. In this case, the _____________was a series of tricks to hide the coin behind my hand in the act of opening it, a dance of the fingers that I learned so __________ that I didn't even have to think. I would close my hand, then __________it, and the coin would disappear not by skill but by real magic.
