Dustings #120
/A few people wrote in to ask if yesterday’s post was real.
Real as in… what exactly?
Yes, you can really buy those endorsements and use them on anything you want. (Three already sold.)
Real in the sense that I think it’s a good use of your money? No, not necessarily. Who knows.
It was just a commentary on endorsements. (Sorry to have to explain the bit.)
There’s a new (awesome) trick coming to The Jerx App soon. Details on that coming later this month.
One other thing you’ll find in the next update is this idea from Marc:
“I’ve made the ‘Read The Jerx’ feature a bit clearer, and have added an 'eBook Mode' setting: I thought it’d be fun to have a setting to disguise the blog as an eBook to make it look like you’re reading a novel or something. I styled it so it looks great in both light and dark mode. Videos don’t come across with the feed, but that’s probably okay for that covert eBook setting.”
Now you can read the blog in public and if someone looks over your shoulder and asks what you’re reading, you can be like, “Ah, it’s a selection of Chaucer’s finest works. I’m a bit of a bibliophile for classic literature. It’s so much more witty and enlightening than what you might find on a… oh, I don’t know… like a magic blog or something like that. Wouldn’t you say?”
That way you’ll come off like a real intellectual fancypants, and not some dope who reads magic blogs.
Easy Money?
David Copperfield is the third most likely name to be on Jeffrey Epstein’s list. Always nice to see magicians in the news.
You can bet on this on polymarket.com. At this time, a $100 bet gets you $187 in return.
What a charming looking magician on this old valentine. He simultaneously looks like a baby AND a pedophile. Tough to pull that off.
