When I was little my mom convinced me she had magic powers. When we were in the car and it was raining, she would snap her fingers and it would suddenly stop raining for a few seconds, as she snapped them again it would start. It took me forever to figure out that we were just going under a overpass at the time...

When I was about 4 or 5 my pop used to pretend that he'd stolen my nose and would throw it down the stairs. I would cry my eyes out until he went and got it and put it back on my face!

when i was little i never wanted to go to bed. i would always jump out of bed as soon as my parents tucked me in. finally my dad told me that he had had it, and that he was going to have to use magic glue on me that he called "girl glue". he would put the invisible glue on my bed and then put me on top of that. i seriously thought it worked and didn't even try to budge.

When I was little my dad told me that there was a magic channel on the radio in our cars that when you snapped your fingers would change to the next channel. I was in someone elses car one time carpooling to something and they put the radio on scan and I was like "no way your car is magic too?!?" later I learned that I was just a gullible kid.

When i was around 8 years old i used to believe that if i scream in a box and i close it as fast as i can and reopen it a few seconds later i would heard the sound comin' out of the box...i was really upset that after several times i couldn't do it !

Well.. you know how when you look at someone who's wearing glasses, you can sorta see your reflexion in them? I used to think that they could also see what's happening in behind them because they reflected in the back! haha And so I thought they always could see what you're doing even if they had their back to you! I was a lil paranoid ;)

when I was little, my family had one of those minivans with an automatic door. longer than I would ever admit, I thought that in order to open the door, you had to say "open sesame!". I discovered, to my disapointment, that it was only a button much later.

When I was 3 or 4 i thought that if i put mud, maple leaves, rocks, twigs, and ants into a bucket, stirred it with a large stick, dump it on the ground, and cover it with dry sand it would explode if someone i didn't like stepped on it.

When I was little, Our car was one of the "new" remote control trunk opening type cars." So whenever we had to open the trunk, I was taught to say, "Abracadabra, Ala-Ka-Zam!" And then the trunk would magically open! I was very disapointed when it was just a button.

When i was little, about 6-7ish my sister and i were at out grandma's house after thanksgiving. She gave us a wishbone and told us to make a wish and break it. My wish was that birds would no longer have feathers. I won and imagined all the world's bird's feathers exploding off of the birds. Needless to say this didn't happen and my mother had no idea why i would wish for such a thing. My sister's wish was worse which was that she could have a peice of white bread.

I used to believe that if you stand on a tree stump and turn around and say a wish that it would come true. I was confused when it didn't work. I just made a full out of my self.

i use to believe that my dad stole my nose whenever my dad said "i got your nose!"

our uncle collected money from us and 'planted' it. he told us to water it regularly and we'd have a money tree for ourselves.
he pocketed the money when we left...

When I was little my grandfather used to make coins appear from behind my ears so I thought he had magic powers. I used to get angry when he said he didn't have money to buy me something I wanted because I couldn't understand why he wouldn't just make the money appear.

When I was about five years old, my parents took me to a local restaurant where we ran into one of Daddy's friends. He reached over and pulled a piece of bubble gum out of my ear, then a quarter out of my nose. Then, much to my amazement, he toss them into the air, and they disappeared!
I spent I don't know how many hours looking for gum and quarters on and around my body, then tossing random stuff up into the air (whacking into the ceiling) trying to make it disappear.
I'm sure my parents thanked their friend profusely.
Gary
my older sister convinced me that if i sat in our dressing-up box long enough it would transport me to another world, like Dr who. when i started to get fed up, she actaully covered the room in sheets and hid cadbury creme eggs everywhere and i thought it was easter land!

I used to think that these icicle ornaments on our Christmas tree were magic wands. I would take them off and perform magic all over the house. Once I waved it over my room saying that the magic would clean my room. I was proved right when I came back and my room was clean. I found out later that my mom did it for me so I would continue to believe in magic.

My dad used to tell me that I could open the garage door just by pointing at it. It took me a few years to realize he was using the automatic garage door opener behind his back.
Stacy
i use to believe that my tv was made out of magic.

My Dad used to do a little trick where he'd take a penny and cup it between his hands, let me blow on his fingers, and then shake his hands and the penny would disappear! WOW! And then he'd retrieve it from my ear! DOUBLE WOW!
I was so enamored of this trick that I pestered him all the time to perform it. Finally he said it only worked with 1943 pennies, and he didn't have one on him today... but if I had one he'd do it.
Of course, 1943 pennies were made of steel-coated zinc (copper was needed for the war effort) and are really rare in circulation. But I didn't know that, I'd just scamper off to rifle through my piggy bank for twenty minutes, unintentionally leaving my dad in peace.
