Lennart Green at TED

To begin, he resembles a shambolic, bothered Uncle at a wedding, and the audience are not impressed, but that's the point. Keep watching for the moment when it dawns on them that this is actually something extraordinary, and that books don't always match their covers.

Watch very closely. Every single movement he makes is deliberate and serves a purpose.

I posted this on here a while back. If you can find it it got some interesting comments.

The guy is just amazing. I was talking to him at Tab about this performance. He said it was one the best things he ever done.

I was sitting next to him in the bar after Tab. Watching him deal cards onto the table and have them instantly disappear was like a Hollywood special effect come to life - totally awesome skills!

I love Lennarts style and his skill. He's just so fun to watch. This performance is definatly a half hour well spent. I remember seeing this a while ago, but I still have no problem watching it over and over.
