Magic trick from America's Got talent

I'm just gonna feature a video today - an impressive magic trick -- nice nice nice. Watch this!

The Croak

As we were on our way home the other night, my sisters and I were singing the familiar “At Iba pa” alphabet song to entertain my baby niece. Suddenly, we heard a load croak that sounded like that of a frog. Hearing the sound, my sisters and I panicked. Well, I must admit, I’m afraid of frogs. The mere sight of it terrifies me, fearing it would jump into me. So we all got off from the car and had my brother in law search for that dreaded eerie creature using the light from my cell phone. My older sister even wanted to had her bag checked because the sound seemed to be coming from her bag. Finding nothing, we all went back inside the car, still curious – only to find out it was an alarm from my sister’s phone………darn!!!!
