...to a game show on public radio. And heard a bit of info. about someone who sounded really interesting. So I wrote his name down, and looked it up when I got home. How did we get along before googling??
He was talking about how we are not really attentive to our surroundings, or other people. And how easily folks can be fooled and distracted when they are not focused and deliberate in their awareness. As it turns out, he does amazing magic. I found him on Youtube, trying to teach a card trick. It didn't really look at that difficult, though I can see how anyone not in the know, or not seeing the full picture could easily be buffaloed by hands moving so fast you don't see the sneaky part.
He is the kind of guy who would pluck suckers from the audience in Vegas and have their wallets in his pocket by the time they got up on stage. Expecting to 'help' him with some clever subterfuge, and find the 'helper' is the one who got tooken for a ride! So be prepared to play the part of a fool when you get invited to be the Assistant.
His name is Apollo Robbins - look it up.
