CHAPTER SEVEN

The next afternoon, Zoey decided to have a little picnic lunch at the local Central Park. She brought Rocky with her for company. Susan Sidwell wasn’t the only one who needed an entourage. She brought along a yummy can of gourmet kitty snacks for him, but he still took more interest in her food than his own.

When he wandered too close to her sandwich, she held her hand out and the sandwich floated right into it, out of Rocky’s reach.

“Wow! How did you do that? That was so cool. Mom! Come over here. You have to see this. You’ll do it again, wont you? Do it so my mom can see it.”

Uh-oh. She hadn’t noticed the ten-year-old boy walking nearby. He didn’t seem too spooked, though. Just excited. His mother joined him, unsure of what was going on.

“She just did this amazing trick, Mom. Are you a magician? You must be. Can you show my mom that trick you did? I want to see it again too.”

The mother waited expectantly. “Go ahead. I love tricks.”

Zoey had to think fast. She had to show them something that looked like an average, ordinary human trick and not an I’ve got witch blood kind of trick. She took a piece of candy and waved her hand suggestively over it, and then with both hands just a few inches away from the candy, she appeared to coax the candy to levitate just a few inches into the air. Nothing too wildly improbable, but still good magic. Both mother and son gasped with pleasure, and Zoey let the candy drop back in the palm of her hand.

“How wonderful,” the mother gushed. “You must be a professional. You do parties, yes? This is such great timing. I’m throwing a surprise party for my uncle Richie, about seventy people. Family. Friends. Kids. It’s a week from Saturday. How much do you charge for, say, an hour-long show? Five hundred? Plus dinner? We’ve got a really great dinner planned. And I’ve never been to a party with a female magician. I think that would be really great for the girls to see. Great for all of us. Can you do it?”

With all that was going on, Zoey had not lost sight of the fact that the money was running out, especially after the real estate tax payment had been made. She was going to need a job, and not just for expenses. As Justine had suggested, if she found herself in court fighting for custody, she would need to prove some kind of income. Certainly, she could fake her way through a magic show.

“That would be great. I just need your number and address.”

“Here you go, and you be sure to bring your card with you as well. Lots of them. I know we’ve got quite a few kids’ birthdays coming up in the family.”

After they left her, Zoey wolfed down her lunch excitedly. This could work out. If she could use her powers to fake being
