MAKING BULLIES DISAPPEAR- Merrill Merman, above, performs a magic trick onstage with the help of 7-year-old Franco Candiotti last Friday night at Katherine Elementary School in Simi. The trick was part of Merman's comedy and illusion show called "The Magic of Being Bully Free," a program where kids and parents were taught about understanding and dealing with bullies. At right, students Kayla Cunningham and Luis Rodriguez, both 9, watch a card magically rise from the deck.
