Every day is a good day to watch the multi-talented Neil Patrick Harris in action. He’s been on the press junket talking up his book The Magic Misfits, the first in a new series for kids. The Magic Misfits is more than just a chapter book; it has lots of other secrets and Easter eggs and teaches its readers a few magic tricks to boot. Harris showed off one of them in an appearance on Good Morning America, teaching the hosts how to roll a quarter along their knuckles to practice dexterity.

“Magic’s my thing,” he said. “I’ve loved it for a long time.” Harris reminisced about the store that fed his early fascination with magic and talked about how he enjoys that his young kids see him as a wizard.
