So yea...there was a mind reader in Devlin Hall on Saturday. After a night out with some friends for dinner we decided to go to the mind reader. When we first arrived he looked like one of my old history teachers...I should email him in prison....anyway, we sat down in the middle and observed how he acted. He talked on the phone for a little then he just acted like a creeper. The room filled up slowly. It was a rainy night so understandably the turn out was not big. At one point some girl walked in with a wet coat and yelled "I CAME ALL THE WAY IN THE RAIN SO THIS BETTER BE GOOD". She looked kinda familiar but then again I'm terrible with names. Besides it was only then that I'd noticed the 3 knives in the Banichek Death Trick Box. Anyhow, Banichek started his show and mindf*cked everyone. After making a friend of mine destroy a fork with her mind, I started talking about how weird it was that he was able to manipulate the entire show. Then he called on me. The whole backdrop of his technique was that he had a dream about a card that some girl in the audience had years before and that he had written it down on a piece of paper and wrote his location and date of the dream on the paper and sealed it in an envelope. Said envelope was sealed in a yellow envelope with a "?" drawn on it.
"(thinking) Oh crap. You've got to be kidding. You're making my friends break forks. The least you can do is let me talk in shock and awe."
B: "ok, you're going to help me. I need you to give me a date. Name a Month"
Me: "(thinking) ok, so this guy knows nothing about me. There's just no way. So to prevent him from manipulating me, I'll use my birthday...but not my real birthday. The birthdate I use when I fake online survey forms."
Me: June
B: "Name a Day?"
Me: 11
B: "Year?"
Me: 1989 (one year before my birthday)
B: Does this day have any significance for you?
Me: Yes
B: Birthday?
Me: Yep
B: ...ok. Well did you think of another date prior to this?
Me: (lying) Yes
B: Oh? What was it?
Me: March 10, 1990 (ex girlfriend's birthday)
B: ANy significance?
Me: uh yea.
B: what?
Me: My...friend's birthday.
B: ok, you can sit down
So he does his trick. Magically it was the girl's card. He also manipulated some other kid into saying New York (the location). Then came the surprise. The Date written on piece of paper...
...was 6/11/89. Needless to say it was a shocking experience. I'm sure that if I asked he'd give me my date of death. Then I'd be screwed. If I knew when I was going to die, then I'd be pretty freaking pissed. Because it would make every second that much tenser knowing EXACTLY that my heart can only last so much longer. Weird feeling and it got me thinking. So I refrained from asking Banichek any questions and left with my friends. This has absolutely nothing to do with FWS but I thought it would save me from having to retell it.
