One of the many, many, many reasons I hated college. EVERY speaker ever, had to have 2-10 people do some sort of intro. God forbid they couldn't just sit down down, shut the fuck up, and let the guest just get to their presentation without them having to inject themselves.

The president of the MIT poker club, Annie on the left, took the cards off the table and put the cards in her lap far too often. That would get you in a lot of trouble at any casino or a serious home game.

@@YoutuBerry1993 Simple you tube search will show you how. And there are many variations such as faro shuffle, weave shuffle, dovetail, etc. Richard learned from the great card master Dai Vernon and practice 10-20 hrs a day for 26 years, so roughly about 200,000 hrs. Just because you don't know how to do it doesn't mean it's impossible. Just because I know how to do it doesn't mean I can. You need both knowledge and dedication.

No. Kids grow to resent what they are forced to watch. Leave the best stuff out. I used to love reading. Did Macbeth for my GCSE exam. Haven't properly read through a book in years. A real shame. I like the plot of pretty much all Shakespeare books. Can't read them without just getting pissed off. Saga of Daren Shan was a favourite before high school. Now I can only think about what it was like before they shoved it down everyone's throats and made something that might have had personal meaning to you displayed to a shitty teacher who marked it and gave it a numerical value. If something is fun, do not teach it in school. Schools only know how to fuck up a kids enthusiasm and turn it into a chore before they even get started.
