Uncle Chris the Clown, from Magic Mountain in Kamloops, performed some magic tricks for children at the Osoyoos Library Branch on Monday, wrapping up the summer reading program. The children were trying to guess which one of two tubes was hiding a bottle, but he had them fooled. Unlike most magicians, who keep their methods top secret, Uncle Chris let them in on how it’s done – only to trick them again moments later. The theme of this year’s library children’s program was “Book a Trip.” (Richard McGuire photo)
