...I have been to in a long time! This past Monday, Kody and I went to a Magic show by Warren Gibson. Our Senior Pastor, Ed Young, goes to Maui every year and has become really good friends with this magician. He asked him to come to our church and put on some shows for the adult leaders in the church. These tickets are typically around $100 a ticket to see him on Maui but we got to go for $10 a ticket plus dinner! Kody and I were picked to sit in the seats right in front of him along with 3 other couples. Needless to say we got picked on a lot and got to help out in a lot of his tricks. His tricks were amazing and I still do not know how he did any of them. He was so entertaining and hilarious! I would definitely pay the full $100 to see him again! I just wish he wasn't on Maui! So, if you ever go to Maui, he is a definite must see!
Here is one trick that he did. He had me pick a card out of the deck, show the audience and then put it back in the deck. He had me shuffle the cards and then he did some fancy shuffling with them. He then pulled out an ace of hearts and asked me if that was my card. I said it was not and he looked really confused. So he ripped up the card and then asked me to hold out my left hand. He stuck the ripped up card in my hand and told me to make a fist and turn my hand palm down. He then told me to reach into my hand with my right hand and pull out the card. When I did, it was my correct card, the 4 of spades, all ripped up. No CLUE!!!! Then he put the ripped up 4 of spades back in my hand and had me make a fist again. He then gave me two pieces of invisible magic tape (which was pretend) and had me stick them into my fist with the card. He then had me pull the card back out of my fist and it was my card folded up in one piece. I was shocked! The way the card was folded felt like it was in pieces so I know he must of stuck it in my hand like that but how and when he switched out the card is amazing in itself. He was so quick! That is just one of the amazing tricks that he did! The last trick ended with a $100 bill inside of a lemon that was whole! That's a whole other story that is mind boggling! Let's just say he AMAZED us as well as cracked us up the entire night!
Our good friends, Heath and Sarah. They were also picked to be right in front of him!
