The Great Magician

Once there was a great magician. He could do card and hat tricks that no other magician could do, but his most well-known trick was to disappear and then ten seconds later, reappear.

One day, he was doing his most popular trick. Whenever he did the trick, the people in the crowd counted to ten and he would reappear. This time, everyone counted to ten, then twenty, next thirty, and finally forty, but he didn’t come back. Many people tried to find him but never succeeded.

Several years later, a girl named Julie and a boy named Pete became world famous for their amazing inventions. Julie and Pete were very curious little nine year-olds and also very smart. One of their inventions was an incredible device called a Sharoo. With the Sharoo, you could type in what you wanted to find and it would locate it within seconds. The Sharoo would then send you to that location to find the missing item.

When these kids found out about the lost magician, they thought it was a perfect time to use the Sharoo. They typed “Lost magician” into the Sharoo and they were off on their mission.

First, Pete and Julie were led to a coyote’s den in some deep dark woods. They were very confused why their Sharoo had led them into this den, because the lost magician was nowhere to be seen. They soon realized that they had to get past the coyote. They reached into their bag and found another gadget they had made, called the Chutter. They pushed the button on the Chutter and it set a trap for the coyote. In a moment, the trap caught the coyote and Julie and Pete were able to sneak by it.

But then they found out that there were very small clocks covering the walls of the den. They investigated the clocks and discovered it was a code. They tried to find a way to break the code and realized that the coyote had a collar with a decoder on it. They took it and broke the code on the clocks! Then the walls opened and they were in the Chamber of Secrets from Harry Potter!

This part was going to be easy! Harry Potter was about to fight the Basilisk. They watched in amazement as Harry killed the Basilisk and then sneaked through a trap door behind the Basilisk. They followed and were led into the basement of a gigantic castle, which seemed to have never-ending stairs.

They started to climb. Up and up and up they went. Now they couldn’t even see the ground! But suddenly they could see the magician! Soon they were by his side. They had found the great, lost magician, all thanks to their inventions and their courage.
