quick tl/dr, but I flat busted a magician last night.
At a get together and this magician was walking around doing all these tricks, somewhat like David Blaine, but not. So he is messing with all these people and comes over to our group. Ladies are giggly. Drunk men are fired up. But I'm scoping the joint out cause I'm not drinking my buddy just gave me his one hitter. So the magic man is doing this, look here, look here thing and everybody is looking at his left hand. All I was thinking was, "these hand movements are a distraction". So I lean back and see that he hands something behind his back to a guy walking by who goes @ 15 feet away and puts a sheet of paper in a beer bottle, then walks away. I saw it. Magician saw me see it. We make eye contact while he still has 7 people in a trance looking at something in his left hand and he says "iknowyousawthatdontsayanything" in @ 1 second as he turned his head to me. I told him his ventriloquism was better than his magic. He had a girl grab the bottle and they all freaked out when her signed name was in it.
