The Easter Bunny Comes to the Bay Plaza Mall

 

   Saturday the Easter Bunny came to the Bay Plaza Mall to meet and greet the children who were enjoying the magic show that Magician Peter Juris was giving. The Magician said the magic words and the Easter Bunny suddenly appeared to the delight os all the children who were waiting for him. 

Above - Mario Rodriguez helps Magician Peter Juris with a trick. All the magic wands the magician gave Mario seemed to bend in half so the Magician gave Mario a Magic Chicken to help do the trick.

Below - Niya Valentin did a bottle in the tube trick, but every time she and the magician lifted the tube off the bottle one was up and the other was down. The magician then turned his bottle over to match Niya, they turned their hands around and when they lifted the tube off the bottles they one was up and the other was down. That went on several times until the magician gave up.
