  1. Oh, he's really good. Sleight of hand has never been something I could master. I had to fall back on sleight of brain by counting cards. If you hate to lose, then don't play cards with me.

    3. Cube... card counting. Honestly, if I were at a blackjack table and there were 6 cards left in the shoe, and I knew 5 of them were '10' cards and 1 was a three, I wouldn't feel the slightest bit confident to increase my bet. I don't get card counting.

    4. That you're still alive doesn't prove anything except that you haven't beaten any casinos lately. I'm talking about counting the possibilities of cards. It's never exact, but it's darned close when you're paying attention and know what you're doing. A good memory will help you know what cards are in play and which are not.

  3. I think it's amazing that with the distraction of watching him open his palms spread out you don't notice the third hand reaching from behind him feeding him the cards.

  5. I must be really really stupid, because I don't see what he's driving at, although I admit to watching only the first two minutes.

    Is there any POINT to this?

    At least the background music is calm and inoffensive for a change!

    1. FT, Well, this is one of his magical card play routines. At the end he adds that Pray for Paris thing which I think was due to the Charlie Hedbo attack by our favorite savages.

    1. AOW, if you click and go to the youtube site, this is his submission and he says he regularly performs this one. I have NO idea.

  7. What really flipped me out was when he turned the deck over as it was blue, then flipped it and it was now all red! He then took the same deck and spread them out to reveal the cards faces in the same deck...to prove they weren't double sided.

    1. I wondered if any trick photography in the form of edited video could be involved?

      Just a thought not an accusation ... ;-)

    2. IMP, The whole things flips me out.

    1. Blogger has put Kid under surveillance from Silicon Valley, Imp.

      Conservatives tend to be dangerous subversives, you know, and must be watched VERY carefully lest they undermine the Internationalist Agenda. Old fashiined American patriots who believe in the U.S. Constitution are anathema to the "Siliconians."

    2. IMP, I dunno man, I thought I was living on Tulsa time. Since I brought it up, let me add that Oklahoma is the last state in the US I would move to.

  9. Miss Shaw writes.....
    “Cadet Bone Spure who didn't have the courage to fight in Vietnam like John Kerry and Robert Mueller, two sons of wealthy fathers did, bragged about how he, unarmed, would confront a shooter with an AR-15. “

    Ms Shaw simply and conveniently forgo to mention Bill Clinton’s Running off to Canada at that time!

    1. When someone habitually does little but complain, find fault and cast aspersions, does it do anything to improve their disposition –– or ours –– to COMPOUND and EXPAND the disagreeable, destructive, depressing atmosphere created by responding to it IN KIND?

      "Let there be peace on earth, –– and LET IT BEGIN WITH ME."

    2. Uncle Sam, You are welcome here, but please don't talk about human garbage libtards. I avoid them. I don't engage them anymore as I would go to an expensive restaurant and ask to be seated next to a pack of screaming kids or seek out nude pictures of the hildebeast.

  10. Your various pictures of the universe are good, and the card tricks are entertaining ... but um ... where's the lingerie?
