You know illusionists, right?
Folks like David Copperfield, David Blaine or Ricky Jay – we’ve all seen them and were left in awe and amusement when they performed their unbelievable tricks.
But what, dear fellows, is the mystery behind their magic?
It’s practice.
A lot of practice.
Exercising and doing the same thing over and over.
Until the trick is perfected and the audience can once again be taken out of everyday into a world of magic – at least while the show is on.
That’s a great inspiration, so I decided to follow this example.
And so I am going to repeat one of my most successful tricks (Something new, something old…):

Don’t blink!

Oh, dear optometrist!
Ok, once again for the slightly myopic readers here:

There it is!
Yes folks, as of today, this space has a new moderator!
Lucas Oliveira is an SAP HANA expert hailing from the lovely South of Brazil (somewhere around here)
So join me and give Lucas a warm welcome and make some noise if you liked the trick π .
There you go – now you know!
