I am pretty much dry out of writing regarding social issues.
So, I asked amongst my FBook friends, and I got that I should talk about prestidigitation (sleight of hand). I am not too proud to admit that I did, in fact, have to Google it.
I enjoy this very much.
When I think of sleight of hand, I think of con men. You know, watch the red lady... This also makes me think of street urchins in Victorian London. Gorgeously grey and grimey streets that were littered with pick-pocketing children. I have always wanted to be a pick-pocket. (You should know that I fantasize about many an odd thing that I would never actually do).
The skill required to slip something out of someones pocket without them noticing is tremendous. And if you are going to be any sort of thief, this would be it. It's like being a sniper, you do the job with out getting caught or seen. You can usually get away before anyone sees you.
I really cannot stress enough that I sometimes blog about stuff that is merely something I find interesting. THIS DOES NOT MEAN I DO THEM! Just for you kids out there who would like to tell someone. The only thing you should be telling people is how gnome-tastic this blog is, and how incomplete their life is without reading it :). So go. NOW.
xoxo,
Liz
