Can you pull a rabbit out of that hat?

Last night was my turn to host “family dinner”. I cooked up a big pot of pasta like a good Sicilian girl. And Jillian brought me an awesome surprise, Case!! I love me some Case. So in honor of his presence, we all went out to Green Door after dinner. (Thanks Brittany for styling me.)
Green Door is an awesome venue and Shawnee’s party on Thursdays. So Brittany and I are standing by the bar talking. And this guy comes over and starts chatting with us. He was alright looking and a bit animated. He starts off in normal conversation; where do you live, work, etc. Then he announces “I want to do a magic trick for you guys!” To be honest, I thought he was joking and was going to do something silly. But no he proceeds to pull 2 coins out of his pocket and asks us to each pick one and hold it in our hand. Brittany and I look at each other in total shock. Is this his pick up? Does he REALLY think that MAGIC TRICKS get girls??? Ummm, if you want to impress a 5 year old, do a magic trick. If you want to get in girls pants, sorry this doesn’t work.
Now he is doing his magic tricks and we are just standing there dumbfounded. I was laughing and he probably thought he was amusing me, but I was laughing because I was so embarrassed for him!! I wish I would have had liquid courage to stop him and say “STOP, you are not scoring points here. You are scaring me!”
He continues doing his cheesy tricks and saying how I need to come to the Magic Castle. He’ll give me the full tour. Then starts telling me about the owl at the front door, blah blah blah. Luckily my friends came over and I did the turn towards them and he finally walked away. I avoided eye contact the rest of the evening.
This poor guy is probably a really cool person and can’t figure out why he is single. Or maybe one day, he will meet the girl that loves his tricks. I guess I’ll believe that since I want to believe that there is someone for everyone out there!
