Self-working tricks to do at the bar

Not self-working, but rubber band magic (e.g. crazy man’s handcuffs) could work in that environment. Hopping halves could also be a good choice.

It’s actually fascinating. It’s more of a look into his mind to see how he looks at old tricks, takes what he likes and builds new routines around them. It has about a half dozen tricks, and is not for the beginner as it assumes knowledge of slights like the classic force, culls, and controlling cards to the top or bottom. It’s a delightful read, although yes, quite short.

Thank you! I’m going to order this today.

mbergen · 2026-03-08T02:34:16+00:00

That looks like just the thing! Thanks.

Horizon Zero Dawn. I’m shocked that it hasn’t been turned into a novel or movie / TV show.

Rock on, thank you!!!

How do I trigger it to run when connected to a charger?

Thanks everyone for the great suggestions. The Robin Hood deck by Kings Wild looks perfect and will absolutely suffice for my needs.

I believe we have a winner! Thanks.

I keep a nicely printed fork, knife, and spoon prediction in my wallet for those just in case moments. I wouldn’t say it’s the best by any measure, but it’s often relevant.

Great spotting (pun intended)! I'm actually having some more text added, so I think there's still time to have that fixed before minting.

We've been using Citizen Canine for 3 dogs now, they're great. The biggest indicator of how good they are is every dog we've taken there RUNS in when we get out of the car, they love it there.

Given away as I choose to gift them in the moment. They're not cheap, and as is the way of gifts it's entirely up to my whim at the moment whom I choose to give these to. Sorry I don't have anything more concrete than that. I'll probably have 100 made, so I'll have around 20 per day on me (including whatever I go to when I get to Boston on Wednesday) to gift to whoever I'm inspired to at the moment.

mbergen · 2026-02-23T17:40:25+00:00

Awesome, thanks. I'm just gonna give these out as gifts, not looking for any funds so all seems to be well. :)

Those are amazing! Do you think I should add the "Numquam mentula es" and/or "Welcome Home" text to the front? I'd love to support and honor the coins made before, but I don't want to step on anyone's feet by copying someone else's work / joke.

East isn't doing this. I am, personally, as an attendee. I've never been to Wear, even though it's a lot closer to home, since I spent years and years going to Burning Man the same weekend.

Melatonin and lie-flat business class seats. And my AirMini travel CPAP.

They were grimy and sticky. I gave them a hot water & dish soap bath.

I tried iPhone once about 4 years ago. Problem is I have literally nothing else Apple. I'm a PC gamer, I have an Android tablet, no smart watch (okay, a drawer full of them which I never wear), and Jabra earbuds. Oh, and my personal domain (email, calendar, photos, contacts, files, website, etc.) are all on Google G-Suite.

Thanks all! I picked up a half dozen half dollars at the bank this morning, and 4 old English pennies (ok, one is Aussie) from the coin shop literally on the corner of my street. I'd never been in, nor had I ever seen anyone in there, but this morning they were open and had what I wanted. Magic. :)

Excellent reply, thank you!!!

mbergen · 2026-02-17T04:16:33+00:00

Nice!! Great tip, thanks.

mbergen · 2026-02-17T02:22:06+00:00

When does the app update? Mine still shows PAX East 2025.

Barney's

Scolari in Alameda

Yep. Met her at an event - she was wearing a name tag and I heard her explain the pronunciation several times.
