wow that guy has some talent, my best trick is one that you slap the cards that another person is holding and it always turns out to be the correct card, I don't remember all of the steps though.

"Ohh! OOOhhh!!!-Oh and again! I made it. I know it. I can't see it but I know I made it. Oh my God I made it. Alright, don't give up. This is for everything. This is when I don't have to do it. This one right here is when I don't have to do it, which leaves nothing else but the one. No I don't think so. Not there. God I wish I could turn the volume-OH **** Aahhh son of a **** I talk too much. ****." - 00vega -

when i was younger, i wanted to be a magician. i never had the patience for the tricks, and i always ended up performing them for my family before they were perfected. (i'd read how to do it, think i understood it, and screw it up real badly). oh well, guess it's not for me then...

I had a friend who was really good at doing magic tricks.. it would drive me crazy trying to figure out how he did them and he would NEVER tell, nor would he show a trick more than once. It really frustrated me.. lol.
I learned a few card tricks as I was growing up and if I think hard enough I might even remember them.

Bored out of my mind.

I know a few slight of hand tricks still. Mainly with coins. When I was in Florida I stopped at a magic shop in Downtown Disney and picked up a few things, learned them and have been doing them since.

I had quite a few card tricks I knew and a few other types. Slight of hand ball tricks and what not. It entertained people that were bored at school but it got kinda old. If I had spent more time learning harder tricks I might have been impressed enough with myself to stick with it.

I picked up a couple of neat gadget tricks in Abbot's Magic Shop in Colon as a kid. Colon is small town (pop. 1,227) in Michigan that bills itself as "The Magic Capital of the World," and even has flower pots lining the main street that look like upturned top hats, in case any other town felt like arguing the point. Personally, I think the town is simply overcompensating for its unfortunate name, but what do I know?

Anyways, I had this thing where I could make it look like I was driving a pen through a sheet of glass, and then I would restore the glass 'magically'. It was a pretty impressive trick for a fifth grader, and I performed it all around my elementary school when I was a kid (in, like, four different classrooms). After that, my magic career could clearly go nowhere but down, so I hung up my top hat and wand permanently.

Today, I don't think I could do a card trick if my life depended on it.

I've mastered the Levitator trick, it looks amazing and left my family asking "How do you do that?" all night.

And if they get me take this spike and, you put the spike in my heart.
