Not enough people know how to do magic tricks . (đź“ŤLondon)
Summary
A stranger in London makes a passionate case that not enough people know how to do magic tricks. He's got a point. Kareem agrees completely. The two bond over the universal awe of sleight of hand, card tricks, coins appearing from nowhere, and mentalists who somehow know your ex-girlfriend's name was Vanessa and left a note in your pocket to prove it. The guest admits he once had a magic kit but wasn't any good at it, which makes his advocacy all the more endearing. Their conclusion? Everyone needs exactly one trick in their bag. That's it. One solid party trick, because "a party trick is literally really just a magic trick that you do at a party." The logic is bulletproof.

So what's your take? Not enough people know how to do magic tricks. 100% agree.
Right? They never fail to impress people. It's amazing.
Whenever someone brings them out at a party, it's like, "What the—How can you do a magic trick?" It's shocking that more people aren't just doing magic.
I think there's a kind of cultural aversion. Aversion? That it's kind of lame? But it's not. It's not.
It's not at [laughter] all. 'Cause it blows everyone's mind.
Bro, you're making stuff disappear. Imagine if I could just—Oh. I can't. Oh god, imagine if you could. I wish—See, I wish I could do magic.
Imagine if you just—No. No. That's right, King. Police. [laughter]
Where do you get your magic kit? I did have a magic kit. I wasn't any good at it.
I'm just waiting for you to do a trick, man. I wish I could.
I can't believe you came on the show and you didn't do a trick. I'm not a magic guy. I just want other people to be magic guys.
Do you have a favorite kind of trick? I like sleight of hand. Oh, just like the classic—like cards, things, coins. Things coming out of nowhere. Whatever it is.
You know the mentalists? It's like getting people to um think things by leading them on using words and imagery and— But then they're like, "Look in your pocket." Like you're like, "Oh, my ex-girlfriend from 15 years ago was named Vanessa." And then they're like, "Look in your pocket." And then there's like a piece of paper that says Vanessa on it.
Yeah. I think everyone should learn one trick. Yeah. It's like that their party trick.
Yeah, you go to a party. Party tricks. Party tricks. We need more party tricks.
That's what they are. A party trick is literally really just a magic trick that you do at a party. [laughter] Yeah. All you need is one.
One trick in the bag. One trick will solve it all.
Yeah. [groaning]
Where'd that come from? Don't worry about it, King. I've got nothing else to say. Oh. Meme.
