...they’re twins. I swear it.

On Friday, some of us were walking around Professor’s Lake, and I was pulling the David Blaine, showing effects to random people, while Terrance recorded it on his new camera-- once we got Ryan throwing up, and the quality was amazing. Although, when I tried to zoom it, I couldn’t, so I actually had to manually zoom it; I brought the camera closer to his face, and mashed it in the barf.

In David Blaine’s Magic Man special, he films in Compton, LA, where these black guys are at first scared of him, thinking he is a FED, but later, when he does some magic, they’re all laughing, and cracking jokes.

So I approached some random people, dudes walking their dogs and stuff, did some simple stuff, and we got some pretty cool reactions. Then, I saw these people in the distance, fishing. At Professor’s Lake, you’re allowed to fish, only if you put the fish back in the water. These people were putting the fish back into water, THEIR water. They had brought their own tank, and had 5 or 6 fish swimming around in it.

Not surprisingly, the man closest to the fish, covered them with his jacket. Let me explain what we did before we approached them.

Terrance wanted me to get some more clips, and I pointed to them,fishing. From their angle, they saw 5 asians, standing with a camera, pointing at their illegal fishing.

So of course, Terrance approached cautiously, with the stealth of Sam Fisher, always alert.

So of course, I barged in with the agility and stealth of a pregnant elephant (those things are pregnant for two years…damn) in her 6 trimester, and loudly said, “Hheey! YOU!”, while pointing frantically at them.

This huge guy, must have been like ten times my weight, goes up to me, pokes me in the chest, and says, “Yeah?” in the girliest, most feminine squeak ever in the history of the entire world.

So anyway, we calmed them down, and they saw that we (were excessively weak to do anything let alone hurt them and) were harmless, and we actually chilled for a bit.

Then, as we were leaving, the big guy shakes hands with me, and says, “You’re crazy kid, just like that magician..uhh…David Spade.”

Me: David Spade? Do you mean…David Blaine?

Him: Yeah, they’re brothers ain’t they?

Me: WhAT?!!

Him: Yeah, I know it, they’re twins. I swear it.

Me: Biological?

Him: What else?


This is David Spade.



This is David Blaine.
