Want to see something perfect?

Magician Richard McDougall showed me this at the Essential Magic Conference.  It is, in my opinion, perfect.  Take 4 minutes away from whatever you are doing and enjoy the genius…

Any thoughts?

    Ok Go is truly an original band. They rock. And their music is wicked too.
