Meet Scarlett. She’s only 15 months old, but she has already mastered a perfect magic trick.
With the encouragement of her dad, Scarlett makes her hand disappear, reappear and then disappear again. All by covering it with her shirtsleeve. Brilliant. At certain moments, she seems genuinely concerned that her hand really has disappeared. She’s just that convincing.
As you’ll see about 25 seconds in, Scarlett has already developed a signature ta-da arm gesture. If she keeps practicing, she could have her very own show in Vegas before she even enters preschool.
