2 links worth following

I have long been a huge fan of magic. I dabble in it myself, mostly for those rare occasion I can perform a few effects for a kid and watch their face light up with pleasure as a quarter passes through a table or their card does something impossible. But I also don't practice it enough to become truly good at it as anything other than an occasional party trick or dinner table conversation starter.
At the same time, I recognize good magic. Our first link is to something I never thought I would see...Steve Martin making me laugh. And he does it with some really good magic. Presenting, the Great Flydini

The second link, however, is not great magic. Not even good magic. Some would argue...not magic at all. It is a link you should ONLY follow if you have watched David Copperfield. A lot. Because otherwise...you won't get the joke. But if you have, you will, and you will laugh.
