Last week I was shuffling down the street, trying my best to beat a hangover that was holding on for dear life. It was two in the afternoon, yet the cobwebs in my mind were refusing their grip on my sanity. Which is just as well, because what happened next surely destroyed plenty of my neural connections. I passed by this bookstore, and noticed this guy inside beckoning me to come in. Naturally, I complied.

Last week I was shuffling down the street, trying my best to beat a hangover that was holding on for dear life. It was two in the afternoon, yet the cobwebs in my mind were refusing their grip on my sanity. Which is just as well, because what happened next surely destroyed plenty of my neural connections. I passed by this bookstore, and noticed this guy inside beckoning me to come in. Naturally, I complied.

This guy was doing some of the most incredible magic I've ever seen. When I walked in he was doing these wicked card tricks. He'd ask somebody to pick a card, and then have them show their friends, like normal. Only he'd have them put the card back in the deck, but then the card would show up in their sock or their wallet or something.

After that he seemed to tap into the dark forces of evil. He used some kind of black magic to reach into their minds, and pull out information. Then he would go outside, and stop a random person on the street, and put them into some kind of hypnotic trance. Then under the hypnotic trance, they would tell everybody the secrets that this magician had psychically extracted from the first guy. Most people were shocked beyond expression.

After that he did more normal tricks, like making things vanish and not come back, he made a few people float up in the air, and he made this puppy dance around and sing the theme from "The Love Boat." Actually when I think about it, the whole affair was quite out of the ordinary. I'm not sure if I know what really happened.

I decided to get out of there before he did something that permanently affected my grip on reality. But just as I was leaving, I heard him shouting at me with a desperation that seemed to be coming to a shocking climax.

You must learn magic tricks! You must delve into the secret world of psychic tricks to uncover the mysteries of the unknown! They are depending on you! I wasn't sure who "they" were, but that was enough to spook me for good. I ran out of there, and never came back.
