    Good Trick

    Life is about how much fun you can cram in, between busting your ass to pay for it.

    wow how'd he do that?

    Ever see the David Blaine street magic shows. He does card tricks like that.

    I've seen magicians up close and still couldn't figure out how they did it.

    Aw, piece of cake. There's a reason it's called "sleight of hand" and a reason they say, "The hand is quicker than the eye." Because it is and it is. He slipped that bad boy up his sleeve before he ever set the deck on the table. Ask him if he can do it if you slide the card into the deck rather than placing it neatly on top of a cut deck. The answer is no, he can't. He has to slide it off with his quicker-than-the-eye fingers and sleeve it before he ever starts shuffling and farting around. So now the card's up his sleeve and he continues to suck up cigarettes and fart around and at some point folds the card and gets it in his mouth. Did this all happen in 10 seconds? No, he took his sweet fucking time ... I almost fell asleep but then again I'm an old fart. A real skill of magicians is knowing exactly when he has the audience misdirected and it's safe to make a move. I'm not saying this is easy or doesn't take talent, skill, and years of practice. I'm just saying there's only one way a card can get from Point A to Point B. And that's by moving it from Point A to Point B.

    Got to be really stoned and wanting it to work to really enjoy it

    Sometimes I do but depends on the magician, I do like to watch Blaine in his early years

    Those guys in vegas are pretty funny also the big guy and the little guy but they too are starting to suck, or I am just getting really crabby

    its sleight of hand but when you are standing a foot away and can't catch it

    I did one once where I pulled a card then replaced it in the deck. Shuffled. Placed the deck on the floor. The magician them made my card pop out without touching it!!
