Yesterday during one of my classes, we got a visit from a magician. It sounds a little strange, but he was paying a visit to our office because he actually works for Fuji/Xerox, and they have an office within our office building. The Fuji/Xerox guys that work here thought I would get a kick out of it, so he dropped by and did a very short magic show.
The guy was really good. I think his best trick was asking me to verbally name any card I liked. Then he flipped over half the cards in his hand, shuffled the deck together until half were face up and half were face down. He commented that it would take a long time to get them all facing the right way again. And then he laid them out on the table and they were suddenly all face down – except for the card that I had said out loud. Great trick!
The student that I had at that time was also impressed. It made me want to watch some more magic in the near future, and it was a nice break from my regular routine.
