All the more reason to start looking for a decent magic shop. You might also want to look for a magic club that meets regularly. That way you can learn from other magicians. The International Brotherhood of Magicians and the Society of American Magicians both have local chapters all over the USA and they are easily found on the web.
Simple solution - become a magician. Learn some easy tricks, maybe invest 20 or 30 clams in an introductory magic set. Your nephew will think the sun rises and sets on you.
