My Son's Show Night

This evening my son called me when I was still in the office. He asked me to go home earlier because he and his sister has a show to perform. Later on he called again to remind me to drink water and go to the bathroom at 7:30pm because when the show begins at 8pm I will not have time to do so.

I arrived home to discover that it was not just a small event. It was huge. He prepared a theater in the study with seats all lined up, a small stage made by building blocks which he can stand on, and all gadgets he needs in his programs. He even prepared tickets for each one, with hand-writing Chinese characters he probably asked my mom to write for him to look when he drew.

Tickets
He asked me and my daughter to sit on the seats and began to perform. The show includes lighting, magic, and drawing on a canvas, with many different lighting and tools. He was thoughtful enough to invite audiences to go on stage to assist his performance. In one of the program he asked his sister to stand in a circle, then quickly took her to another room to hide while asking the audience to close their eyes so that when the audience open their eyes a few seconds later the assistant was disappeared. :) It was really a great show. I enjoyed a lot!
Lighting show
I was inspired by his program, so we went to the room to play with the flashlight and camera to draw in the air. This night was the best night ever.
