Hi all.
My DH, 2 children and myelf recently attended a relatives 80th Birthday party, for the entertainment a magician was hired. Great we thought something fun for the kids. Rather than standing at the front to do a magic show he worked his way around the room doing slight of hand tricks at each table. He came to our table first...some great tricks, although I didn't quite like his belittling manner towards my 6 year old son. Then he did a trick that involved my 8 year old daughter, a knot in the rope that would magically move/disappear. It involved her having to hold the rope, pull both ends while at the same time saying a magic word( abracadabra). Whilst doing this he got his phone out and pointed it at her, we thought strange but assumed it was part of the trick. But that was it...he left our table and went to the table next to us...The only other family with kids. This time daughter was prob 10 and a teenage son. We watched him perform the same trick, again only with the girl and again he got his phone out at the point of pulling the rope whilst saying abracadabra. We then watched him move around the room but he never did the phone thing/ rope trick with anyone else. We spoke to family on table next door and mum hadn't thought much of it but her teenage son thought it was odd. The upshot is the other mum approached magician and asked him to delete pics, I also approached him unaware she already had and also asked him to delete pics. He showed me his gallery and yes pics were gone but would they have been backed up?
Also am I bring OTT? is this harmless behaviour as I really don't think it is. He said he did it as he likes to record the reaction??
Also can the pics be used/ super imposed into something more sinister?
Never posted on here before but need some Mum advice. Thanks
