went to beachfront 101 last night after work with the bf & some friends for our taco tuesday~~
it's always nice to eat & hang out with a good group of people after a hard day's work.. i feel like such a grown woman :) haha

the house magician there interrupted us to show us some magic tricks as we were hanging outside enjoying our cigarettes..
.. ehh.. he wasn't all that amazing.. and he was really bad at hiding his secrets.. very amateur..
but i felt bad for the guy & i'm really good at faking a surprised & amused face..
there was a point when he tried to guess which card i picked out and i asked if i could shuffle it, and he said, "sure" hands me the deck of cards..
magician: "make sure you think about your card over & over again in your head"
me: (i'm thinking that he has the ability to like read your eyes or some shit like david blane does.. so in my head i'm thinking of some random card to throw him off)
magician: "keep saying to yourself '3 of diamonds. 3 of diamonds. 3 of diamonds.'" (3 of diamonds was the card)
*i'm still sitting there, shuffling & thinking, 'jack of spades. jack of spades.'*
everyone around me is laughing & i hear them saying, "she still hasn't caught on"
and i'm like, "???"
and i finish shuffling & hand the deck over and i notice everyone's laughing. and i'm like, "what are you laughing about???" and i realized that the magician had been saying my card the entire time and i was too focused on concentrating on the wrong card that i failed to realize..

the magician/bartender my bf & i met in our hotel in vegas was by far one of my favorites.. and this beachfront 101 magician was such a disappointment b/c i'm a sucker for magic~~
