Remember when I said I bombed those two tricks before? Well, tonight I sat down in Roots with a new deck of cards, and someone sitting on the couch across from my chair said, “Practicing blackjack?” I somewhat reluctantly said, “No, I’m not much of a gambler these days. I’m sort of an amateur magician.” To this, the guy said, “Do you have a trick?” So, I performed the Topsy-Turvy Cards again since it’s one of the tricks I feel is both impressive and challenging enough to merit performing for people. It played well, and I was happy to have my last performance failure officially behind me.
