I had an interesting thing happen 2 days ago, I was performing magic for some of my cousins friends. My cousin is in college and they have these sort of comedy,improv act competitions and stuff (IDK what to call it). So he asked me to show him some tricks, He used to do magic before and he was sort of the reason I got into magic, so I showed him some simple stuff. He already knew about breaks,Dls,crimps,forces etc. I showed him some stuff but I was so stupid I showed him all the moves I use when I perform. I performed a couple of tricks for them and it went really well then my cousin walks in and , he just catches me out on everything.
It was really embarassing in front of his friends I guess he just wanted to feel smart in front of those guys...middle child. Anyway, he was being completely unreasonable...not letting me touch the deck and throwing the cards in the air to shuffle them. His friends wanted him to stop because they wanted to see the magic but he wouldn't.So he did this trick where HE ribbon spread the cards, picked one, put it back and tossed the cards in the air 4 times to shuffle them. I made a 'what the hell' face,I took the jokers did the ol' sandwich move thing where you toss the deck one card was trapped - SELECTION..WHAT!!!! My cousin was baffled and so was everyone else...except one guy who just smiled.
Go back 3mins..while my cousin was shuffling the cards insanely. I looked at one of his friends, he looked at me and held up 6 fingers and then made a heart shape with his hands. I figured he did it because he felt bad for me or something.
But the real amazing thing was AFTER the performance. I asked him why he told me and he said " You cant expect Santana to play his guitar when its 10 feet away from him" I replied "Yeah, only Reed Richards can do that". He didn't get it though, I laughed at that for days : P . I really am a nerd
Sorry for the freakishly long reply.
