I arrived at a very small village and went straight to the only elementary school there.  I was well prepared.  I knew several good coin tricks.  I even took two pigeons with me if kids wanted to see real tricks.  I entered a large classroom where I was silently welcomed by about 50 kids.  I started my magic show with a couple of coin tricks at first.  But the kids responded only with grim faces.  So I said<br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\nAll right, kids.  Guess what&#8217;s going to appear when I open this cloth.<br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\nI expected that kids would be amazed to see my pigeon trick.  But a little boy sitting at back stood up and said<br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<a href=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" alt=\"Adobe After Effects sample\" src=\"mac\/after_effects_sample\/magic_wand_imac_revealed.jpg\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\niMac?<br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\nHuh!?  What is this kid?  I didn&#8217;t bring my iMac all the way to Peru with me.  What was he thinking?  I didn&#8217;t forget to bring my MacBook with me, though.  So I responded<br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\nClass, do you know what MacBook is?&nbsp; <!--more--><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\nThen the same boy spoke up and said he wanted to see an iMac.  Kids&#8230;  I went there with no pay.  And all you want to see is an iMac?  I was tired.  I wanted to vanish.  I said to myself &#8211; Could somebody hand me a magic wand?  Then a girl sitting at front said<br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\nHere.  Use this.<br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\nA magic wand&#8230;  Who is this girl?  WHO ARE THESE KIDS?  Obviously, it was a toy.  Wait&#8230;  Maybe, this toy would let me make myself disappear without a trace, I said to myself.  So I used it.  Then kids all said<br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\niMac!<br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\nWhen I opened the cloth, there was an iMac sitting on a table.  Kids were all so amazed that they could not stop cheering for several seconds.  Whoa&#8230;  I turned around and said<br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\nIs this a real magic wand?<br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\nBut the girl who was sitting at front was gone.  Then the magic wand suddenly disappeared.<br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<u>Project package (Members only)<\/u><\/p>\n<p>Click on the button to download the zip package (9 MB). <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mhvt.net\/quicktime\/eng\/02\/download\/downloads.php#ae_cs3_13\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mhvt.net\/quicktime\/eng\/graphics\/button.gif\" width=\"25\" height=\"25\" alt=\"VTC\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\nClick on the button to watch a boring After Effects sample movie. <a href=\"mac\/after_effects_sample\/magic_wand_imac_579111810235r.mov\" target=_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mhvt.net\/quicktime\/eng\/graphics\/button.gif\" width=\"25\" height=\"25\" alt=\"VTC\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\n<br \/><\/br><br \/>\nAdobe After Effects is a product of Adobe Systems Incorporate.<br \/>\niMac is a product of Apple, Inc.<\/p>\n<p>The still iMac image used in this sample movie comes from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/imac\/design\/\">Apple > iMac > Design<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last month, I went to Peru as a volunteer to show Peruvian kids magic.
