...Nope, not what you're thinking ;-)
"They come from China!"
This is the ABSOLUTELY the very funniest use of the ancient art I've ever seen.
It's Candid Camera meets Twilight Zone.
This guy is also the perfect actor.
(and in my other life, I'm a published, if underground, former amateur magician and mentalist who knows a few of
these characters)
The Magic Convenience Store Clerk
Check out that 2nd white-haired lady at the end ("I got to get like four!" ...reaching for purse) .... Makes you wonder why we don't
re-instate voter qualification tests in this country!

It's so perfectly surreal, and that guy is so believable!

That's an awesome effect.

Here is the genius of all this:
"Reality" and "Street Comic" shows just try to badger or humiliate people.
"Street Magic" shows have people who already know they're going to see something strange.
But this guy comes off totally innocent and friendly, and just casually does impossible things in an unexpected setting.
And people's minds get totally twisted! :bird:

That's the beauty of magic. If you don't push it on people by trying to build up hype ahead of time, it's actually pretty cool. I used to do stuff
like this in my previous job, made clients loosen up a bit. I'm hesitant to toss stuff like this out there when selling cars though
