Magicianism [Afternoon - Gabe]

Maybe it was the wisest thing to do a little bit of grocery shopping today. Gabefigured that his fridge was looking pretty empty and it has actually been a while since he went grocery shopping. He didn't need much of anything since he was mostly shopping for himself. The beauty of being a single male in this city, there wasn't much of responsibilities that he had to care for other than his own. But he had to do that after he was finished with his small performace for the day. "Hmm.." Shuffling his cards in an outside small stall, Gabe would see an individual that was a little bit away from him. "Hey, you seem to be a little blue. How about a small trick to cheer you up? Just a dollar a trick" Gabe would say, wondering if the person would come closer or not.

"Yes you, with the charmingly flamboyant attire!" How else was gave suppose to describe the kid. Did he have glasses on like him? Well if he did, there was a plus since it was a little similar to what Gabe wore. But it was more or less his reading glasses and not much description based. Either way, hopefully the young man would come on by as Gabe would continue to shuffle his deck. "I'm telling you, you are in for a treat. Whatever you are feeling will be gone in an instant, replaced with awe and wonder. That much is a promise to you, as i am your humble..neighborhood magician. "Magician, trickster......hpobbist, it was all the same thing in the end right?" So what do you think? Interested?"

So he decided to play, that was good. That was very good. "Good.... lets see what i'm in the mood of showing you.... oh, and you can pay me after i show you the trick if that's too much of a hassle. " Even if he didnt get paid in the end. "show must go on... Ok...." Now was time for the trick to begin. " Here is what i want you to do. "Gabe would say as he handed the deck that he had in his hand over to the male. " I would like you to shuffle the deck. After that, i would want to you to eal out the deck in two piles and choose one. " Gabe would say with a smile. "When you choose a pile, make sure you remember the bottom card alright? And make sure that you show your bottom card to everyone but me. "

Gabe was saying as theyre was just a little bit of people who seemed interested in what was going on. In a way, Gabe was having them all participate and be apart of the show. "After you do, o place the pile containing the bottom card on top of the other pile, and deal the deck into four piles from left to right. "Gabe would say in an amusing sense as he waited.

So this was an unexpected turn of events, but it was a good thing that the deck of cards that Gabe was actually using was his soul bound this time around. If that wasn't the case, Gabe would of been in a pretty difficult spot in saving the trick. Though this could definitely work to his favor. Gabe knew which card it was, even though he didn't see it , it was his soul bound after all, paired with the fact that card tricks was basically his life. "Oh?!" Gabe would say as the cards seemed to form a circle around the young man. "Hmm.. ever heard the saying, play where it lands? Looks like my lovely assistant has managed to find himself in a tight spot. Surrounded by a circle of many, but only one can be the right one. " Gabe would walk outside of the circle, basically around frogger and the cards themselves.

"i think it's that one. "Gabe would say pointing to a card that was counter clockwise from the man's left foot. "Now, dear assistant, pick up that card and show it to the crowd. " It was clearly an accident to them, probably someone he didnt even know. But from how Gabe made it look, it could of been all apart of his plan. Did he guess it right? But in the off chance that he was wrong if ever the case , he could change them anyway.

Spoiler:

"The two of clubs!!! And with this card that you picked, i can also tell your fortune with it. "Gabe would say, adding a little bonus trick just to be a good sport to the guy who seemed a bit skittishon the shuffling, but participated nevertheless. " The two of clubs! Obstacles to success; malicious gossip. It doesn't matter what it is, whatever seems to be in your way that you face in life. But the true mettle of your potential is how you bare through it! , because... human potential is limitless. " After Gabe bowed, there was a loud clap and Gabe tipped his hat, in which dollars were thrown in there as well. "Thank you. "After the crowd dispersed, Gabe started to pick up the cards." You did pretty well.....thanks for playing along. Were you nervous?"

"No, as a matter of fact...this showed just how adaptable that you are in terms of a tough and unexpected situation. Most people would just implode on the fact that they have been embarrassed on the main stage, which stops their brains from working by foregoing any way out. That my friend is a self induced trap of the mind. " Gabe would say as he pointed at his head. "So you have a strong mind then." He continued picking up the cards and nodded his head. "This would of been insanely faster if he just called them all back, but the sense of them being believable was what he had to do for the moment. "Thanks, that's quite kind of you. Though,i've been doing tricks in these streets for a while, i don't think i ever see you around before." You might not get to know a person, but a face can become a norm. And if you dress like this guy did, you can be picked out of a crowd.

Then why are you here?" Gabe would say as he takes all of the cards back and starts shuffling. He did it in a little flashing sense as well in order to keep up the pace of the conversation, making it a little more interesting and entertaining for the lad. Even so, entertaining seems to be a little more of a chain reaction for the lad. What else had meaning and brought about smiles for people all worldwide?"Oh a dog, kind of reminds me, makes me want to get a pet of my own. "Though, he didn't think he had alot of time when it came to having a pet, maybe something that took care of itself? " Gabe then put the cards away and put his hands in his pocket. "You know, this place might seem seedy but it's not so bad. There are plenty of redeeming factors, some people trying to make a living showing off their talents as well.
