As long as I can remember, I am always in awe of magic tricks... coin tricks, card tricks, parlor tricks, mental tricks and all other tricks. Oh well, I have this neighbor who showed me a slew of magic card tricks last December. I was really so amazed.
And so I decided for myself, that if that sleazy moron can learn these tricks.. then why can't I? (He was actually using a Svengali card then)
I started going to video sites like Youtube and Metacafe. To my surprise, it got tons of tutorials on how to perform those tricks! And there I learned that some of those tricks weren't that hard to perform after all.
Here are my list of tricks that so far I can perform (I'm writing them down cause I usually forget!):
1. 2 card monte
2. Card Catch
3. Ambitious Card Routine
4. Impromptu Card Trick (I'll turn your card upside down)
5. 5 Card trick
6. Do as I do Card Trick (I call it Compatibility Test)
7. And a dozens of coin tricks which I don't know how they were called.
8. And some more card tricks that I don't even know how it is called.
9. Oh yes, I know how to do the Jumping Gemini trick... the hardest for me.
10. The Slap Card.
11. A couple of fake shuffles and fake cuts.
12. Card in my mouth trick.
13. Stigmata Card Trick
14. Elevator Card Trick
15. 21 card trick
16. And some more...
Its actually fun to see how people get amazed by the tricks. But don't call me just yet to perform in a birthday party, I am far from being an expert. Right now, I am just enjoying it... even single moment that I see amazement and wide smiles from the people I entertain.
I am Dave... no pretending, no secrets, just me. What you see is what you get. Nothing much, just coast along with my so-called life.

Just an Update about Me
I have just resigned from the organization of IT officers of municipal governments in the Philippines. I don't know... maybe I am not just fit for the job.
And I am also gunning to have a night job so no more spare time for extra curricular activities. I must admit, I hate it when I have an argument with a member and then suddenly that asshole will attack me for being president.
That is utterly STUPID! If they think I am enjoying my presidency... well, I am not. I am supposed to be doing to help and to promote FOSS. Its just that they demand too much for something that I am not even being paid for!
Yes, I sacrifice time for my family and the opportunity to earn extra money but in the end they call me names and doubt my sincerity. I had enough.
They call me "Hey Mr. President" only when they are there to criticize me but never when I need their cooperation.
Never will I took again such position. I'll just help people in my own humble way. Being under the spotlight is way too much for me, I guess.
Another update?! My youngest baby turned 4 months last Feb 12, my only son turned 7 last Feb. 13.
My baby is soooo cute!!!

And although I don't have his picture, damn... my son is handsome.
I am glad their moms are head turners and my genes weren't that strong to influence their looks. Lucky for them! Hehehe!
Anyway, that's all for now. I am not really in the mood for anything. Hi to everybody... I missed blogging.
