The shoe Illusionist

"Intrducing Mr. Fred-a-bob-bubbles, the most masterful and astounding illusionist in all shoe history!" Mrs. Stilleto announced stepping off the top shelf and moving into the audience on the floor. She was purple with little lace flowers sewn on the sides, and herlaces were up in a tight double knot.1

As the audience stomped Mr. Fred-a-bob-bubbles, along with a pair of pink glitter heeled sandals, stepped onto the shelf taking their stands. Mr. Fred-a-bob-bubbles was black with blaze orange long laces tied up. His tennis-shoe form seemed tinner than it did last time he had performed.2

The sandals had their straps clipped up nice and neat and their heels polished. They were models in fashion magazines and every young sole dreamed of following in their prints.3

Mr. Fred-a-bob-bubbles stood in front of them gazing out at the crowd. This ws his favorite time of day. The closet doors had been left open sothe stage could finally be used.4

"Today I will make an audience member dissapear," he said loud enough for all to hear. "May I have a volunteer?" he asked.5

Every shoe jumped up hoping to be the one chosen.6

"You there, the gray flat with the white bow, come on up," Mr. Fred-a-bob-bubbles said pointing to a shoe in center of the third row that didn't have a match. The gray flat walked up to the stage. It stopped in front of Mr. red-a-bob-bubbles with a small smile on its bow.7

"Whats your name?" Mr. Fred-a-bob-bubbles asked.8

"Penelope," was the reply.9

"Well then Penelope please sit in this box." Were his instructions.10

She was helped in by the strappy assistants, then the lid was closed. The pair of heels walked around it to show that it was real, then they came o stand by Mr. Fred.11

"Ok shoes, I will make her vanish. On the count of three," He said moving to stand to the side of the box. "One, two, three." When he said three the lid came off and the flat was gone. There was a collective gasp then everyone broke into applause.12

"Now I will make the lovely Penelope reappear." Mr. Fred. stated putting the lid back on the box.13

"On the count of three she will reappear," he said, as his strappy assistants came over to him. "One, two, three."14

The lid dropped off as the pair posed with their tips held out. Another gasp was heard as Penelope the flat stepped out of the box, having magically reappeared.15

"Thank you, you may go sit down now," the famous illusionist said as waves of stomps swept through the room. 16

Just then I walked into my room. All over my floor were shoes, I couldn't remember moving. I grabbed them and set them back on the shelf and closed the closet doors.17

As I left the room I heard the faint clicking sound of heels moving on wood.
