Click to watch the trick that got the teacher fired
A Florida school district made a substitute teacher disappear after he showed students a magic trick.
Jim Piculas made a toothpick vanish, then reappear. The act was even caught on video.
The school district accused him of wizardry. But they said the trick was the tip of the iceberg.
He actually allowed the kids to have fun in class, apparently didn't follow lesson plans... and allowed students to play on computers even though it's against the rules.
