Magical Bells
(To the tune of “Jingle Bells”)

🎵 Chorus:
Magic spells, magic spells, tricks are on display,
Oh, what fun it is to cast illusions all the way, hey!
Magic spells, magic spells, rabbits jump away,
Abracadabra! Cards appear, the crowd shouts out, “Hooray!” 🎵

Verse 1:
Dashing through the stage,
With wands held high in hand,
Conjuring amaze,
A show that’s truly grand!
Top hats full of cheer,
With scarves that never end,
The crowd is full of wonder here,
And laughter we will send!

🎵 Chorus

Verse 2:
Pulling coins from air,
And flowers from a hat,
Rings that float and fly,
Imagine all of that!
The deck begins to move,
Your card is guessed just right,
A little wave, a little smile,
And magic fills the night!

🎵 Chorus
