1st trick * i used to rule the world, seas would rise when i gave the word * [VIDEO;public]
[Hello, everyone! Have a new face on the network, a man with chiseled, Mediterranean good looks and an open, shy smile. He waves--then he releases the phone from his hand and it sails backwards, somehow hovering in midair so the newcomer can talk with his hands free.
Well...sort of free. Promptly, he reaches into the back pocket of his fashionably fatigued jeans, pulling out a deck of cards.]
Hey, everyone.
[Visibly standing in the middle of a park in Genessia City, the man opens the box of cards and idly starts to shuffle as he speaks, performing showy one-handed cuts and shuffles and card fans. The longer he toys with the cards, the more relaxed he becomes, visibly nervous as he starts out.]
I'm Tommy, and I'm new here. Tommy...Karras. I mean--that's me.
[Someone is not comfortable with public speaking. Tanned features darken a little as he blushes, then with a flick of his wrist he tosses a card into the air, letting it spin in midair before he catches it, displaying an ace of spades.]
And I'm real new. Rank knew, just woke up--crap, 'bout twenty minutes ago?
[The accent is East Coast, but softened by years far from home--a keen ear might hear Brooklyn in there. The ace goes back into the deck, lost in a series of one handed shuffles, Charlier cuts, overhanded shuffling.]
I got the whole rundown from that...what, hologram or somethin'? Not many questions, but I am curious about what kinda entertainment a person can find in this town. I mean...
[He trails off, fanning out the deck of cards in his hand--then with a flick of his wrists, the deck vanishes. Every single card...except for the ace of spades, which he's still holding.]
...anyone got work for a magician?
[He turns the ace over a couple times in the fingers of one hand. The shy smile is now a grin--the delighted of a happy little boy that just got away with swiping treats from the cookie jar.
...or, perhaps, adding something instead? Check your pockets, everyone--odds are, you may have a playing card in there in the world's largest, strangest game of "Fifty Two Pickup."]
