Magician Hop

After asking assistant Zhang to be careful around the magician, Tian Tian looked at the video that she had just downloaded a couple of minutes ago about the magician Hop.

Sitting at her chair she played the video on her computer screen with full voice. The spirit house was made in a way that it was fully sound proof.

In the video the magician appeared on the stage and started introducing himself and the tricks that he was about to play on the specific show.

The show started with him doing simple magic such as taking out a rose from his empty hat, turning the paper into a string of flowers, swallowing up the sword and so on just basic magic,, nothing too significant.

Following which a small performance by clowns and animals were made and then it was the time for the last performance, usually the last performance is the spectacular one in all of his shows.

The stage was entirely dark, soon red light's started shining on the stage and on the audience. Everyone cheered, applauded the entry of the magician.

As he came on the stage a empty wooden box was brought on the stage. The smile on the assistant's face was eerie, it was something different.

His eyes looked emotionless, there was something that was bugging Tian Tian since the moment she saw the magician making an entry the second time.

"Today, I will perform a very beautiful trick for my lovely audience. I will choose someone from you all to come and help me do this trick. In this magic, I will slice your body into various halves....no...no...no....don't be scared. I will rejoin them again and you will not feel even a slight amount of pain. So who wants to help?" spoke magician Hop after his entry on the stage and asked the audience to raise their hands if they want to help him and take part in his magic to experience the magical world.

As soon as the announcement was made, the audience erupted into a loud noise and almost everyone raised their hands.

The best part about helping magician Hop in his tricks was not the actual trick, instead it was the feeling that the helper would get to experience.

Many people who have helped in his trick have revealed that throughout the time the magic was going on the people would be in a different world, they would get top experience the feelings of floating on clouds, enjoying what they have never thought.

Once the blind girl was able to see the world while she was helping in the trick, a deaf girl was able to hear music and so on and so forth.

Though to normal people this things might seem like something magical and unbelievable, Tian Tian knew very well what those were. But now the main problem was who was it and why...

Most important of them was will she be able to fight with her inexperience...

Engrossed in reading the cases that were solved by the previous owner, she was unaware of the fact that it was already evening and her cell phone had more than thirty missed calls.

While she was busy reading another interesting case and was just about to complete it, assistant Zhang came running in the office holding a cell phone in his hands.

The door was opened with a loud Thud and assistant Zhang ran all the way, standing besides Tian Tian he took a deep breath to calm his irregular breathing and passed the cell phone to her while mouthing, "You were not receiving any calls. It's your mother."

Quickly picking up her cell phone from below the stack of books, Tian Tian noticed she actually had alot of missed calls. Taking the cell phone from assistant Zhang with shaking hands she  slowly put it on her ear and was all ready to hear all the emotional lines which her mother usually bombards her with, after even missing a single call let alone thirty calls.

Holding the cell phone on her ear's with trembling hands Tian Tian tried to squeeze out a word, which was difficult to do in the position she was in, "Mom....."

"Oooohhhh, my daughter remembers she has a mom... Good Good..." came the sarcastic reply from Mrs. Ning.

"Mooommmmm...." Whined Tian Tian trying to get her mother's anger down a little bit which never worked...

"Shut up." came the abrupt reply even before Tian Tian could complete her whining. The scolding was so loud that she had to distance her ear from the cell phone for a little bit else her ear's would have been suffering forever........ Shifting the mobile to her other ear she continued hearing.

"A tutor has been assigned to you, he will be taking your classes starting TODAY. You have to take the classes regularly and increase your grades.

Tian Tian remember, I have his mobile number so if you try to pull any trick on him or skip the class, you will have to cook food by yourself for a whole month and I will personally supervise it. Now quickly go back home, I have given your address to him he was apparently staying in your building, so he will be taking the first class tonight...

Tian Tian remember, no prank this time." added Mrs. Ning with a stern voice.

Though Mrs. Ning knew about Tian Tian's responsibilities and was quite supportive as well about it, but she was completely against her not getting good grades purposefully and trying to stay hidden. For Mrs. Ning this was like a diamond has covered up by the fear of getting polished. Though as a mother she always tried to convince her daughter but she herself also understood her problems that her daughter had to face.

As soon as the call was disconnected Tian Tian's face was as pale as a sheet of paper. Was something more worse about to happen with her ?

'Here, I was trying to solve the mystery of this magician and now the tutor will make me solve the mysteries of mathematics and history, huh. How will I manage everything now?' thought Tian Tian while her face shrinked like a rasin and her hands entangled inside her hairs while pulling them dejectedly.
