Magician’s magic is in conning restaurants, then disappearing

Date Posted: 2007-12-14

It’s happened at least nine times in Naha City restaurants, where a man orders and consumes a large meal, then declares to the staff and other patrons he’s a magician, offering to perform some tricks.
The latest incident Sunday had the man eat a ¥5,000 meal, then tell other customers “I’m a magician and would like to show my magic. Can I borrow ¥10,000 yen in paper money?” People gave him ¥30,000, and he went through the motion of performing. Suddenly, he declared “Oh, sorry, I can’t” and then raced out of the restaurant.
The staff, expecting their ¥30,000 to be returned, was stunned and immediately called police, but it was too late. The magician was successful in disappearing. Police say they’ve no idea where he went.
Police say they think all con incidents were by the same man. In each case, he ordered food and went through his routine. His highest food bill at one restaurant was ¥10,000. Officers say the man is a criminal, and vow they will catch him. (link) 
If only I had found these sweet beauties a little early I surly would have put them on my Christmas list! I'll just have to wait it out until next year.  If you were wondering, solid Gold (99.9%) Hello Kitty Cards don't come cheap either.  This particular set will set you back a good 567,000 yen which is just a little over 5K.  It's worth it though right? Aren't they just so cute!! (site link)hellokitty.jpg

I'm just saying... maybe it works. . .

By grooving construction of road surface, the road where music was audible, when car runs, was constructed experimentally. The grooving is an installation method which cuts multiple thin grooves on road surface. The vibration sound by contact of tire and grooves is generated, when car passes the road surface that the grooving was conducted. The grooving is carried out by adjusting groove interval, and high vibration sound is generated in the place where the groove interval is narrow, and low vibration sound is generated in wide place. On the basis of musical score which corresponded to one node of the Shiretoko ryojou, the grooving grooves were designed, and the construction test was carried out. Estimation speed of the rolling stock is made to be 60km/h, and the construction distance is 250m. The melody arose during about 15 seconds clearly, when car run this road surface at 60km/h. link

Little Travelers

"Good Friends are like stars. You don’t always see them,

but you know they are always there."



I recently had the opportunity to purchase a Little Traveler from a friend of mine and since I liked the idea of it so much I promised to spread the word.  Little Travelers are hand crafted pins and key chains made  by HIV /AIDS infected/affected families in Woza Moya, South Africa .  Through the support of HIllcrest AIDS Center, a non profit organization, low income families are able to distribute and sell Little Travelers to others across the world.  This unique self help program provides a tremendous opportunity for these families to generate a self sustainable income.  Anyone interested in their very own Little Traveler let me know and I'll pick one up for you.  They cost 600 yen or $5.50.
