QUESTION TIME

I. I think the man practices his magic using chairs because they are easy to find then some of the things he could make float and may have even been left out after some sort of party.

II.       I think the man making the chairs float in the picture has the power to make any other object float, move, bend or turn along with mind and card tricks.

III.       I think he was practicing in a field so that he wouldn’t have any distractions, he wouldn’t hit anyone or anything and so he’d have enough room to test his power by floating as many chairs as possible.

IV.       I think his house is made of and very cluttered up with this thing to move about, random and weird things, packs of cards, things for mind tricks and waist-coats.

V.       I would like to be able to do a type of magic that makes people happy when they see me perform.

STORY STARTER

He held them with his mind. He controlled them.The chairs swirled around him, dancing as if held by invisible strings. He practiced on chairs, however his powers allowed him to manipulate things far more complex than that. He raised his hands and each seat spun in its own individual direction, I almost fell out of the tree I was crouched in, transfixed. He wore a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows and though he was wearing a smart pale grey waist-coat the jacket was nowhere to be seen which I thought was very odd; wearing a jacket over a waist-coat was like one those unwritten rules, a bowler hat that matched the waistcoat and a pair of rather crinkled trousers made from an unfamiliar dark blue material I’d never seen before. I always came out to this tree for hours every day and only really go back for meal times I’d seen this man before doing some intriguing things but never on this scale. You might be wondering why I spend so long in this tree well that’s basically because my family don’t like me much and that’s basically because I’m a girl. Let me explain, annoyingly in this country because of overpopulation people are only allowed to have two children and boys are considered a million times better than girls even though they are so dumb, violent and immature. Lots of people even dump any daughters they have in alleyways to die, my parents wanted to do that to me but my personal maid overheard them say it and she wouldn’t leave my side during the day and would lock my room and take the key at night until I was old enough to be able to get myself out of there if my parents tried to; she was fired the day I turned eleven and was considered mature enough to look after myself uuuggghhh! I mean considering how we are so much smarter, calmer and mature it really should be the other way round I mean like excuse me what? At least had that odd man in the to entertain me for a bit for now anyway, I hoisted myself up through the branches to get a better look not giving the sound of tearing taffeta a second thought, I hate the long-skirted dresses all girls have to wear, besides it was already half thread from the amount of times I’ve torn it.
