Edge

By Jonathan Friedman -

Balance is key in music AND magic. It’s on full display right here as you demonstrate the amazing ability to balance three guitar picks on their ends, one on top of the other. That’s not even close to all of it. Instead of being “simply” balanced, now the picks are now somehow fused together, defying gravity by adhering side-by-side. When everybody is about to lose their own sense of balance, the picks are carefully unfused just as easily as they went together.
