On the way home from work, I get the pleasure of walking by Union Square. There is always something going on there. This time there was a magician performing the tricks for the crowd on the street. From his accent I could immediately tell he was from Germany. This reminded me of the Flicking Fingers magic show that I saw several months ago put together by a group of German magicians. The magician I saw today has heard of them, but not part of their group. He was visiting New York and practiced doing closeup magic on the street. Back at home he did mostly stage magic. He visited Chamber Magic show that Kerrie and I saw more than two years ago and was quite impressed with it. I am sure performing on the street here in New York also helped to improve his English.
