A Sketchy Magic Shop And One Invisibility Cloak

While in England, we visited Stratford-upon-Avon to see Shakespeare's birthplace and Anna Hathaway's house. After we toured both, we had a lot of free time, so Elise and I decided to visit a sketchy magic shop called Magic Alley & The Creaky Cauldran not too far from where we were supposed to meet up. The magic shop sold all kinds of things from Harry Potter related things to Sherlock related things (no idea why Sherlock stuff was being sold there especially since it isn't magic stuff...), so I decided to get a classic Sherlock Holmes puzzle book (not strange at all). While waiting in line to check-out, I was listening to the conversation between the girl in front of me and the cashier. The cashier was trying to get her to buy a box with a supposed invisibility cloak in it for £40. She kept asking him if the box really had an invisibility cloak in it, and he kept answering yes (of course he would). She stupidly questioned why she couldn't see or touch it (seriously, how dumb can you get), and he kept telling her that only true believers could see or touch it. She wound up buying it (which I couldn't believe). Though, I have to admit that I wanted to buy it. It was a pretty snazzy box. All purple and gold. It was totally the real deal. That box was definitely worth £40 without an alleged "invisibility cloak" in it.
