Pick A Card, Any Card

It's time for another full moon cycle. After a day of some soul searching and barely restful main train ride, I settled into the back seat for the final leg.

A guy sat across the isle from me and started playing with a deck of cards. I'm not particularly dexterous when it comes to shuffling. He then said he'd show me an optical illusion trick with rubber bands. He demonstrated it a couple of times. I couldn't figure it out, but by that time I'm a little brain dead anyway.

He has another one and hands me a $100 bill. It looked real. He then stabbed poor Ben through the face with a pen. Yes, poor Ben had a pen through his face. The guy pulled out the pen and the hole was gone!

And for the finally, a card trick. I picked a card. He did a few shuffling tricks. Pulled a card and it wasn't mine. He did some nifty hand movements and the card turned into mine. Impressive! With a lot of practice you too can be an illusionist. I'm guessing a bit of dexterity helps too.

What is the Stupid Train Run?

Regular commuters will know it as we've all done it from time to time. Running late just enough that if you sprint, you'll catch that train, but wait... Those leather, hard-soled shoes are from cross-trainers. Suite pants are not suitable running attire either. Don't forget the briefcases and lunch bags waiting you down. So the result is this goofy looking run. Oh, and there are bunch of people watching you too. But like I said, it all happens to us at one time or another.
