I went to the Magic Castle in Hollywood with my daughters and their friends. I was the only mom but they treated me great!
My face HURTS from laughing - the magician's have incredible slight of hand but also some very clever banter to go with it.
It was a really great night!
Thank you all - love you!  :bow;
I even got a phone call from Zach! Man do I feel special!!  :2thumbsup;
