Homemade Pop and David Copperfield

Because of Edison's interest in magic, I've been renting some magic and illusion DVDs from Netflix. Over the last couple of days, we've watched David Copperfield: Illusion and today Mysteries of Magic: Volume I. Mysteries of magic contained a lot of history about illusion. From the Netflix description:

Marvel at Houdini's escape from the Water Torture Cell. Watch illusionists stop everything from bullets to cannonballs with their bodies. And, see Penn & Teller perform the scariest trick of all -- conjuring up a million bees, on stage.

Last night, we made homemade soda pop ala Honest Pretzels by Mollie Katzen (I just looked her up and she has a webpage here, thought it looks like it may not be updated regularly). The soda was very simple. I used:

  • 2 liters of club soda
  • 2 cans of frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed
  • 1 container of lemon juice (the little ones that look like a lemon)
  • and the juice of 2 limes.

You might want to check the flavor as you add the lemon little by little, in case you don't like it as tart as we do.
