Abracadabra.

September 30, 2011

 

On Wednesday night I went out to supper with some friends of mine to The Orient in Melrose Arch, anyway at the end of our dinner when we were all busy ordering coffee, the guy sitting at the table next to us turned to my friend Candice and said “pick a card”. We all looked at him and then I pointed at his face and said “Its’s you, you’re David Blaine“. He was like “no I’m not” and I was like “yes you are”. And so to cut a semi-long coverstation short, it turns out I was right, it was David Blaine and we got to be part of some magic tricks for like half an hour. I’m not going to lie guys, he was amazing. I just couldn’t see how he was tricking us, I actually think he could of been using real magic, well that or he had an invisible man midget who was strapped to the bottom of our table switching things in and out for him. I watched with all my eyes and I just couldn’t see how he was doing stuff.

*I find it so funny that we all look like vampires in the first picture.

The R2 coin below was bent by myself, Bridgette and Julia using just the heat of our hands, or so we were lead to believe. All I know is, he asked us for a coin, pushed it into my hand, made me make a fist then placed the other girl’s hands over mine and while I squoze, they pushed and then BAM the coin was bent. I mean unfortunately it can’t be used ever again in any vending machine ever, but I guess it was worth it ha!

We were tricked and not just once a few times, it was flipping crazy! When we were talking about him outside the restaurant, we actually double checked to see if he wasn’t levitating somewhere behind us in a cloud of magic smoke listening in.

So yes we got to see David Blaine, he bought us each a shooter and gave us signed cards and now we can say that not only have we met Robert Pattinson at Melrose Arch (remember this hee), but David ‘Abracadabra’ Blaine too. Lucky lucky us x
