This made me laugh. Impressive though he is, it IS a pretty useless skill.

Hilarious text, not the best video. Does it always take him that many tries to penetrate the melon?

No, he sometimes gets it the first time.

The entire article about the six people is hilarious.

That cup stacking child is amazing (and useless)

I have to believe that he misses on purpose in order to make it more dramatic and it also gives him an opportunity to deliver his clever lines. I saw him get down to his last card before penetrating the rind. His card throwing is amazing.

But Jerskin says he sometimes gets it on the first try.

I agree, I never saw the purpose of the cup stacking competition, but that kid was amazing. Those go to show you how far mankind will go to try to gain fame doing something totally useless.

Ricky Jay has come such a long way since I began teaching him soooo many years ago...I'm very proud of him!

Why did you teach him such a useless skill? LOL

I had nothing better to do at the time back then...you know...being about 3 years old...so I figured...why not!

Did you show him how you can shoot the cards through your pillows and bolsters every time perfectly?

I tried to teach him how to slice thru a Marble Slab...sadly he couldn't do it. Some people just can't be taught!! So he decided to stick with easier things...

How sad! And because he decided to stick to easier things that he is now stuck with a set of useless skill. He should have listened to you. LOL!

I agreed! Oh well...hard to teach an old dog!
