I am Traumatized!!! (and can't spell)

[sleightgirl]

So I'm working on a new magic trick...well, not new exactly, but new to me. I needed to get a duck egg and needed to blow it (insert sexual joke here). Sounds simple, right? Well, not so much

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Do you have Whole Foods in LV?

[sleightgirl]

Just googled it and yes we do! I'll go and check there...thanks :)

Ask someone about it...they sometimes carry them but don't put them out with the rest of the eggs. (IHG is allergic to chicken eggs, so we have to search out duck eggs.)

Trying to blow out contents of FERTILIZED eggs...eeeeeeeeee!

Luckily I was using a baby syringe, so my lips didn't go anywhere near the yucky stuff.

Every once in a while, I'm glad I don't have your job.

Balut!

When I was a young Marine in the Philippines, I met a girl that I really, really liked. We were out at a bar one night and she consumed a couple of those in front of me.

Kissing her never seemed quite as appealing after that...

I can totally understand.

Why a duck?

[sleightgirl]

...Because an ostrich is too big.

Holy Crap. I would have been traumatized forever from that point on.

Oh and...

[gladwaller]

of course now, you have the fun story-for-magicians to tell. ;)

That sure beats the time a small child started choking on candy at an outdoor theater just BEFORE my big dove pan reveal.

Personally, I think you should have kept them - just think of all that AWESOME MISDIRECTION you are giving up:

"And now ladies and gentleman, watch as I crack open this egg to reveal HOLY S***! LOOK AT THIS!! OH MY GOD! (meanwhile, sneak an elephant on the stage...)"

- see what I mean? Who needs a backdrop of flashy streamers?

Excellent idea! I don't think I could make it through the reset though...*gags*
