Today I just performed this little magic trick that involves two rubber bands. Idea is to make two interlocking rubber bands melt through each other. I did it for two of my colleagues and there came the five words " Can you do it again ? " . The day before I was actually showing this same trick to two of my tuition kids and I guess the reaction I got was exactly the reaction I had on my face when I first saw it on the television. It was one of the David Copperfield Specials back then which is rarely shown on TV in the 1980's .

One simple trick to me now. If I could recall it properly I guess I got to watch the trick being performed when I was 7 years old or so. Always remain in my mind since then and only when I am 23 before I finally purchased it over the internet and learn the secret.

Perhaps it is these kind of events that happen in my childhood that lead me to where I am now in this niche interest. How an event had probably influence my interest and kept me captivated.

Who knows maybe the two tuition kids will experience the same flow. A secret kept over 10+ years before it is finally resolved. Like the kid in me opening up a present and learning a new magic trick. Just that it takes a bit longer for me. Still I think I remember the kid i saw in me when I was doing the trick just like David did it for me over the television.
