OIL COOLING SYSTEM amazing
I’ve always thought science was magical, but when science and magic actually combines it makes everything 10x more interesting than people think it will be.
I love this. I am totally going to buy a mirage deck for sure. I came up with a trick with a deck like this one a few days ago when I first saw this video.
I love hearing about your tricks and it amazed me that you were a magician! Hope to hear from you soon!
I think it’s interesting how magicians use sleight-of-hand and misdirection to come up with really cool tricks.
I love this but you should do one with kittens.

I wonder how many undiscovered magic tricks there are. Technology will probably open the doors to a lot of them.
Very interesting, especially the Magic tricks and the story of the pace maker

Does the steam from the water cause any air pollution?
With the immersion cooling how often would you have to change the oil
did the dog only last 2 years with the pace maker?
