[ WP ] A meteorite has landed in your backyard , containing a new metal that grants magic to its beholder . The government wants to investigate , but will you let them ?

What the hell was that!!!!! I just heard a loud thud and suddenly the kitchen window is covered in dirt. 
 
 I went out back and where there used to be a vegetable patch was a hole with a steaming rock in the middle, I got closer to get a better look. 
 
 It seemed small enough to move so after hosing it Dow to cool it off I grabbed a shovel and went to remove the rock, I aim for the line where rock meets soil and thrust. There is a loud clang and the rock splits and reveals a metallic centre. 
 
 I touched the core to see if it really was metal and it rippled from where my finger touched it, I pulled back my hand only to see a strand of the metal stretching from my finger to the core. 
 
 I started to worry as the metal started to flow along the strand toward my finger, as more metal touched my finger it started to coat my skin. I tried to break the strand with my the shovel but after a braid separation the strand re-formed. 
 
 The metal flowed over my whole hand, then spread further up my arm to my chest until it finally started to cover all of my skin. At that point I was just thankful it was n't covering my eyes or nose. Once I was completely covered the metal started to sink in to my skin, until it was all absorbed. 
 
 I felt full of energy, I was panicking a whole lot but I felt great. I looked back at the rock and it appeared to be a rock shell with a slightly metallic shine on the inside. I decided I would go inside and Searchify asteroid metal absorption to see if this has happened to anyone else. 
 
 One hour of fruitless searching later I gave up and went to clear the garden, I grabbed the shovel and climbed into the hole. I levered up the rock shell and moved it onto the patio. Then I filled in the hole as best as I could with the damaged vegetables and covered it with soil. 
 
 After washing up I went to have a quick nap on the sofa. I woke up mid air, I panicked and suddenly dropped onto the sofa. I went to the bathroom to dunk my face in some water to hopefully wake myself up. I reached for a towel and it flew into my hand. 
 
 I spent the rest of the day out in the garden experimenting, apparently just reaching my hand out did nothing, I had to have something in mind as I reached out. That was a relief to discover, it seems this ability will not be something I lose control of too easily. 
 
 I learned that just relaxing makes me levitate a few inches above whatever surface I am on, that I can push or pull things from a distance as long as I focus. When a bee stung me I learned I can send out energy pulses, and after several attempt I was able to recreate the effect at will. 
 
 My next thought was to focus on flying, thinking that if I levitate while Pershing against the ground that might give me enough of a starting point. 
 
 After falling to the ground a third time I heard a car horn blare. I turned to see what was going on and saw a big black SUV pull up to the house. As it parked two men in dark suits climbed out followed by a third person in a scruffy tan suit. They approached me with badges in hand. 
 
 The dark suited men were security for the tan suited scientist. They gave me no names, just asked me where the rock was and what happened. I showed them the rock and told them that it cracked when I moved it, I said nothing about the metal inside only that it split when I hit it with a shovel and that it was hollow inside. 
 
 The second SUV to arrive was full of scientists who pulled out piles of equipment to test the rock and when they found it was hollow one of them came to me to do some tests. After what I assume was a Geiger counter proved to be fairly passive around both myself and the rock, they took some samples and allowed me to go inside while they waited for results. 
 
 Several hours and tests later they all left. I had been given a contact number to call should I notice anything unusual, which I had no intention of calling. 
 
 It took me some time to figure out something I could use these abilities for, without me ending up in some scientists lab or worse. 
 
 I took a few classes in showmanship and bought a lot of books and video tutorials, I now work as a relatively successful stage magician. I have many `` tricks'' where I just put in a few bluffs to make people think they know how it's done. I've been doing this for six months now and all seems fine. 
 
 Once I make it a year without anyone figuring me out I will start to remove the distractions in my show, until there are none. Wish me luck.
