Jerx Hanukkah - Rick Lax - 8:12 PM

Okay, so this is messed up. I was mixing (and mingling (in the jinglin’ feat)) and I bumped into Justin Flom. He showed me this incredible trick which I’m hoping to get him to give as a gift to the site. But we’ll see how that goes.

Anyway, I asked him if his buddy Rick Lax was going to be able to make it and he said, “Oh, he’s already here. He’s at the other party.”

“The other party?” I asked.

“Yeah,” he said. “The Hanukkah party down the hall.”

So I went down the hall and opened the door and who do I see?

That’s right. Rick Lax and a bunch of his fellow Jewish magicians. 

A secret Hanukkah party right in my very own home! The brisket and latke was flowing like Manishewitz. I can’t believe I almost missed all of this. I took part in some of that deliciousness, and then shot a quick video of Rick performing a new trick. And then I integrated the parties to bring everyone back together. 

Here’s Rick’s contribution. A quick, yet excellent, little number.

Those paperclips can be purchased here. 

And while it might seem like a sort of inconsequential effect. If you went to a co-worker who you know had paperclips, asked them to hand you a few, and then went into this, I think it would probably be really amazing to them. It fooled me when I saw it, and it would be extra fooling if you’re borrowing the paper clips.
