So, I was at work the other day (I work at Starbucks). Often, I'll do a simple tenkai vanish and production of the customer's credit card/starbucks card, especially if they have a young child with them.
So, a customer comes in with his daughter, purchases some drinks, and I decide to do a tenkai before handing back the card.
The man proceeds to ask me when I first got interested in magic, how long I've been doing it, etc.; he mentions that his daughter has been asking for a tutor for the past year or so (Fresno is a rather magically dull town), and asked if I'd be interested in that. I said yes, he gave me his card; I still haven't called.
I haven't called yet because I'm not sure what I would teach a six year old. My magic knowledge is rather limited to card magic, and most of my original work is really advanced. I'm aware that I'd be starting with the basics, such as double lifts and maybe a few changes, but I'm afraid that even simple things like that will go way over her head.
So, I need your guys' (and gals'!) advice on what kind of magic / tricks I should teach her.
Many thanks,
Ben
