I wouldn't really know, I've never been to a magic show. [His mom hired a magician for his birthday when he was four, but he came dressed as a clown and Billy remembers crying for the rest of the party. Not his finest hour.]

An understandable cause for concern. [Her and everybody else who knew what kind of magic he has and what kind of destiny he was facing. That included himself.]

There was a pamphlet, but it wasn't very reassuring. I don't remember following a white rabbit down a rabbit hole.
