What did gip wish to buy in magic shop

Answer 1

Gip made no answer, but his grip tightened on my finger, and so we came into the shop. ... “What can we have the pleasure?” he said, spreading his long magic fingers on the glass case; and so with a start we were aware of him. “I want,” I said, “to buy my little boy a few simple tricks.” “Legerdemain?” he asked.
