Two-trick Magicians

Skat Bo · 23rd July 2003, 11:16 PM

Why is it that 'Two-trick Magicians' take pleasure in attempting to ruin real magicians shows? A 'Two-trick Magician' is what I call someone who, when they were young, learned a magic trick or two from their dad, or aunt, or someone, and that was it.

They have a meagre knowledge of how to make four kings appear in a row, after cutting the deck, and how to levitate that stupid yellow ball-in-a-cup levitation trick and now they think they're the next Copperfield.

Okay, this is the second time I've had a thread receive over 50 views and no posts. Last time I posted a second post on it and people started posting. Maybe this'll work here too. So, doesn't anyone have any ideas why these 'Two-Trick magicians' love to do what they do?

[wife's eye widen] " I mean, your getting new stretch marks between your old stretch marks " [wife's brow is starting to crease as it sinks in] " It's not really a bad thing. If you get enough stretch marks, you won't even be able to tell you had stretch marks. Kind of like an ...accordian.....that's pulled....out all .....the......way......." Things kind of went fuzzy after that. All I remember is waking up on the couch the next morning with a lump on my head. --Bruce
