Shaquille O’Neal Turns Magician, Makes a Tiny Baby Disappear

Entertaining fans with his hilarious shenanigans, this time, Shaquille O’Neal has turned into a magician in Miami. He visited his friend Alex Gonzalez’s home and made his baby ‘disappear’ with magic skills. In an adorable video posted on Gonzalez’s partner Nancy’s Insta account, Shaq was seen performing a rib-tickling magical routine making some humorous and endearing moments.

Holding the baby in his enormous hands, Shaq said, ”Hi, this is your uncle Shaq, I am going to make you disappear with the help of your lovely mommy. This is called ‘baby disappear.’” After that, the big fella chanted a magic spell in a comical way as the baby’s mother used a towel to cover her child.

After a while, Shaq counted down from three to one and the baby “disappears”. Then most hysterically, O’Neal wrapped the towel around his neck to indicate his ingeniousness while performing the magic routine. That was part and parcel of the Shaquille O’Neal universe and just one of many maneuvers he can perform

The big fella keeps on displaying his versatility. Apart from being a magician, he is a renowned DJ and rapper among various other talents. Surely, hanging around O’Neal can be a rewarding experience. He knows numerous tricks to keep his friends and family occupied. Who knows it better than Alex Gonzalez?

Alex Gonzalez and Shaquille O’Neal spend a ton of time together

Since Alex Gonzalez has been in Miami for decades, there is a high chance that O’Neal met him during his days with the Miami Heat. However, there is no conclusive evidence the two met in Miami after the former Heat Center arrived in 2004. Whatever may be the case, the two friends are on familial terms. The former Heat superstar spends a ton of time with Gonzalez’s children and in fact, his son especially relishes the company of big fella.

There are multiple instances when Shaq and his “nephew” bonded on Instagram. So, whenever Shaq is in Miami, there is a high chance he is enjoying his time with the Gonzalez family. In one of the instances, he was seen cutting the hair of his dear friend Alex, who posted a short clip of his haircut on Instagram, captioned, “Who needs a cut ? @ Shaq”.
