Old Dawg Learns New Trick (Rio Rancho, NM)

Albuquerque Tribune - Thirteen year old novice magician, Edward Hodgkin of Rio Rancho has learned a new card trick to add to his repertoire, according to sources who claim to be close with Hodgkin's mother.  Edward, who goes by the name of "Old Dawg" while performing, has apparently learned how to identify the card chosen by a volunteer without even looking at the volunteer when choosing the card.  "I selected the nine of diamonds, and sure enough, Edward, err.. Old Dawg smacked the deck on his leg and out fell the nine of diamonds," said the source.  "I was mildly impressed."

Old Dawg has been performing magic for six months and his other tricks include pulling a quarter out of your ear, and making a rubber ball disappear into a plastic cup.  Though he is only thirteen, Old Dawg claims that he is much older in "Dawg" years.
