Anytime I think of magic or card tricks I'll always think of tanner, staying over at Tierra's house he was always happy to show us tricks and I was always amused by them! It was always nice to get a message from him out of the blue also, I miss getting those messages telling me how we were best friends forever lol. Tanner was a good friend, and person. He's always missed!
