✰ SAMMY PEPPERWOOD .
"Hi, my name is Sammy Pepperwood, I'm fourteen years old and from District Ten, and I'm hoping to make some magic live here in the Capitol!"
I knew my parents were going to kill me, but you only live once, right? And I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to go to the Capitol and see it at least once, live and in person. And I knew for sure that no matter what, Thad would be proud of me. It was just a matter of impressing the judges, and wowie, they definitely were not going easy on anyone!
I walked downstage to the panel in front of the judges, my heart pumping fast with adrenaline but luckily my outgoing persona challenged every anxiety that was held from deep within. I let out a big sigh to let loose all of my anxieties before I handed Josiah Layton a brand new, fresh pack of cards. "Would you mind unwrapping this new deck of cards for me, Mr. Layton?"
I took the newly unwrapped deck of cards from Josiah Layton's hands and opened the new deck, spreading the deck in front of the judges. I tossed out the joker and the ad card behind me and pressed the spread neatly back into my hands. "Now, Aloysius, would you mind giving this deck a good shuffle for me?" I handed him the cards and crossed my arms as he shuffled the deck for me. When he handed the shuffled deck back to me, I smiled and thanked him.
"Now the first card, from this brand new shuffled deck," I told the judges, "will be an ace of spades." And without a doubt in my mind, I flipped over the ace of spades.
"But, that's not the only ace here," I told them, as I revealed the next three cards to be the remaining suits of aces. "Now, Nilima, Saber, Aloysius and Josiah, if each of you could sign one of these aces so we know these are the only aces in existence with your signatures."
As they signed the cards, I giggled, "if my magic career doesn't work out, maybe I could just sell these for a profit!" The crowd laughed as I took the newly signed cards from their hands. I placed one of the cards face down in front of the judges,
the remaining three in my hands.
"Watch as four cards," I took one of the three cards in my left and, making it magically disappear into my right. "becomes three," I flipped over my right hand, to show it wasn't hidden within, and made it reappear next to the one on the judges' panel, "and becomes four again."
"Let me do it again,"
And I took one of the two remaining cards in my hand, placing it face down on the judges panel. I then pressed my palm against it, making it disappear from under my hands. And then I made it magically reappear next to the two other cards on the judges panel.
"Once again, I'm Sammy Pepperwood, and this is magic in real life!"
