c'mon really. Magic is an art of deception. And a trick is a trick. It's underneath all that (your personality) that's gotta shine through man. On that note, effects ARE an awsome Icebreaker. In fact, this girl I dated met me at a party, she saw me perform a coin through bottle. She came up to me and started chatting about how cool that was and I made the mental note NOT to do anymore tricks for her. We just got to know each other, and we ended up dating.
