Its always fun to ask the clerk if they accept plastic and when they say yes, you produce a gold colored plastic coin. After they give you that wise guy look, you change it to a real silver coin. Gets a good response.

My one is talking under my breath, running through presentations. Luckily, I don't tend to do it when I'm out and about!

I always listen to "Never Let Me Down Again" by Depeche Mode before I leave to perform at a party. I dunno why; maybe it's a silent prayer to the god of Invisible Decks!

Yeh If I go to a mates or to a restuarant for dinner the first thing I do is to stealthy bend the cutlery with out my said co-diner noticing, its become an annoying habit to my mates...and to resturant owners

One shop owner threatened to call the police! I had to leave without my Reese's Pieces but at least I wasn't arrested.

I have to try that.

I was out buying perfume a while ago with a female friend of mine (ie being dragged around the shops) when suddenly and unwittngly, in front of my friend and the assistant, I picked up the sample cards and started shuffling them.

:shock: :roll:

Do try it, Marvo Marky, I had a riot (almost literally when that guy threatened to call the feds on me). But pick your victims carefully; I wouldn't try it where they have CCTV, like a petrol station for example, unless you fancy having a cameo on Crimestoppers. :shock:

Whenever I get anything card shaped, I start to flourish or shuffle them.
Today in English class I had to do a speech(I chose magic, of courseXD) and while I was holding my index cards that I was reading off of, I would start to fan them without even realizing it, or I would riffle down the side.

Having young children in the house can be quite interesting, particulalry when I unconsciously start doing fortune telling spreads with their Thomas the Tank Engine snap cards.

I may have to try using them for real some time. Toot toot peep peep.
