I carried a lot of wood for Teri Garr once upon a time.

Wet dreams of filling that overbite.

He had a TV show back in the day where they proudly proclaimed:

"If you can prove anything on this show is a trick, we will give you $50,000"

Or something like that.

I was into magic for awhile as a kid and so I watched intently.

William Shatner was a guest-star one episode.

Kreskin laid out 20 large cards (5 x 4 rows?) on a table and then had himself blindfolded.

He told Captain Kirk not to touch any cards, but to choose a card to start...

Then he told him to count the month of his birthday, then the day, etc, in left to right/up and down fashion.

Finally ending upon a certain card, he said "Flip it over."

Twas a pic of William Shatner.

"Flip over all the rest of the cards."

They were all blank.

Shatner was completely stunned.

Well I immediately recognized it as a simple math trick!

Shatner's birthdate/etc were common knowledge.

I laid out 20 cards and did the counting over and over... starting at each card.

Every single time I ended on the same exact card... 4th card over; 3rd card down (whatever).

And I knew that would be the case even as Kreskin was performing the trick.

My parents said "Good going, but those bastards are not going to pay anyone that $50K."

From that moment on I loathed the very core of "The Amazing Kreskin".

Also, Captain Kirk went from my hero to a zero and I started hanging in the park at night.

65...Jesus.

To young....
