And besides all that----he is pretty! :yes:

Angeliki 21. August 2009, 03:17

Greek too :smile:
hi Linda :love: I hope you are having a great harvest at your farm :smile:

PainterWoman 21. August 2009, 03:29

Oooooo he really is cute.

I wonder how he got the card on the outside of the bus.

starree 21. August 2009, 03:35

I wonder that too, the outside of the bus. Unless he threw something at it and palmed it somehow and switched it.

Usually I think they use distraction, he'd be cuter if he combed his hair (although I realize that's his "style) he's cute enough without using gimmicks I think :smile:

hi Chuck,
there are some very cool entries in his web site... you might enjoy visiting it :smile:

scott cumming 21. August 2009, 03:59

that's impossible. sorry, there's no way.... i don't care if he's greek, if he's cute with tricky hair. that's preposterous. must be hypnosis. meli :heart:

Linda 21. August 2009, 04:03

I like long hair on men. I think it is super sexy, as long as they keep it clean and healthy.

Off subject but---do you like Cat Stevens Angeliki? He is also part Greek.

it is possible, still :cool:

I was thinking of you when I posted it meli,
I know all about the magic card tricks you did with your kids :heart:

Darko 21. August 2009, 04:43

:eyes: How did he do that? I guess that girl will ask herself the same question for the rest of her life, holding that card in her hands, asking herself: How did he do it?

Stardancer 21. August 2009, 05:16

Cool!

:up:

Dacotah 21. August 2009, 06:41

Angeliki, my daughter and I have watched his tv specials.
He is amazing.

Jurjen 21. August 2009, 14:57

Probably if you would know how he does it, you're like, that just happened right in front of me and I didn't noticed it. It's just a matter of illusion of course. But it's absolutely a amazing illusion!!

Amazing too that the first comments are just about how cute he is.... :worried: p:

Darko,
a memory of a life time she got on a bus! one never knows where excitement can happen! :smile:

Angeliki 21. August 2009, 15:47

@ Star,

yes, indeed :cool: have a great weekend!

Angeliki 21. August 2009, 15:47

@ Carol,
I am glad you did enjoy!
if you see Destiny this weekend please give her a big hug for me! :smile:

PS

cute like you :D

Jurjen 21. August 2009, 16:15

So my illusion of being cute did work :happy:

Angeliki 21. August 2009, 18:01

hahahaha always! :smile:

scott cumming 21. August 2009, 18:40

today, i had to watch that again.... looking for sleight of hand or something. impossible that throwing the deck would send the one card outside.

Edward Piercy 21. August 2009, 18:42

I did notice one suspicious thing.

After she signs the card, she moves her hand facing the camera so that you can see the card she has signed.

But the magician doesn't tell her to do that. So how did she know to do it? And the camera man doesn't tell her to do it.

And look how he spreads the cards at the beginning of the trick, to make it easy for her to choose that exact card.

In spite of the fact they say they've never met I think Stephanie is in on the trick. And has presigned the same card from another deck of cards. And that one was stuck to the window.

Just a theory!

Fun, though -- thanks!



Jurjen 21. August 2009, 19:00

Yes I did also notice that. Beside that he could easily removed the card from the deck when she gave it back. We do not actually see if it's really in the deck, only the girl confirms that. When he walks to the front he touches the card/window he can do something here. Still before he does there is text on the card and it seems to be the right card. He does remove the card, but how it came there really is a mystery. He could have swapped something when removing though....

Dacotah 21. August 2009, 19:02

I might get to babysit Destiny tonight. If I do I will give her a hug for you.
:smile:

Edward Piercy 21. August 2009, 19:13

@ Jekav.

Yeah.

And I think the fact that the card at the end sticks to the bus window strongly suggests that there were TWO cards, one sticky and the one she pulled from the deck which was not sticky. The sticky one was presigned and slapped up on the bus window by another accomplice just before he threw the dekc and while everybody else was busy with the countown. And you notice too how he positions himself between the camera and the front windshield during that time. I'd bet you anything that the original signed card could be found amongst the cards he threw or on his person.

Angeliki 22. August 2009, 01:13

@ Eddie,
very valid observation...
Steph knows how to act around the camera way too well!

Linda 22. August 2009, 03:42

Monkey, that was so funny. Reminded me of a documentary I saw once on TV that showed these baboons eating a particular fruit that fell on the ground and fermented after a time. These baboons made special trip to this place, stuffed themselves with the fermented fruit, then staggered around, drunk as old Cooter Brown, and doing all sorts of funny and silly things. It was fun.

Linda 22. August 2009, 04:49

It has been some time since I saw this Angeliki, so I had forgotten it wasn't just baboons, but other animals as well.
Here is a short video showing what happens. Marula fruit.
