Twilight Zone moment

Remember back in October when this illusionist read my mind (sort of)?

Well, in case you don't, here's a little recap:

Basically he'd asked the people in the audience to write a question on a slip of paper. I wrote (in English) the question: "will the answer be YES?". Then he randomly called out 4 people on stage, me included, and proceeded to "answer our questions" without ever looking at our slips of paper. When it was my turn:

... he took my hand and looked at me and went "hmmmmm.....your case is a particular one. I bet you are translating the word "zut" in your heard right now, right?" ("zut" means "uh-oh" in french btw). He looked at me a little longer and said "your question is not a simple yes or no answer, is it? it has something to do with you and another person, right?". I nodded and internally thought "this guy's a fraud, that's way too easy".... he then surprised me by saying "This is not professional, I'll have to get back to you a little later" and led me back to my seat...............

Now, if you remember correctly, I wasn't sure at the time if I believed or not that he'd read my mind because:

> I found it weird that he said I was translating the word "zut" in my my mind.
> My question did have to do with hubby's and my careers......
> Sitting in the audience was one of my bosses. Did he (the illusionist) sense this and thought it was perhaps not a good idea (read: professional?) to "answer my question" in front of my boss?
> Yet, I had written my question as ambiguously as possible precisely because my boss was in the audience but then again, is that why he (the illusionist) had said my question was not "a simple yes or no" matter? .....

Anyway, fast forward to today when I got a call from one of the girls that was with us that night. She told me she'd just come back from having lunch with Roberto (the illusionist) and he'd given her a message for me (!) but not before making her swear to him that she wasn't my boss (!!).

The words he asked her to report back to me where these:

"Yes, life is getting monotonous and yes, I am starting to feel restless in my current situation. He knows that I am thinking about a change but that I haven't taken that step yet because someone is preventing me from doing it. His advice to me is to be patient, the right moment will come".

She asked me if this had anything to do with the question I'd written on my slip of paper that night and I had to admit that, in fact, it had indeed very much to do with my question (I didn't want to give away too much though since after all, this is related to my professional career which I didn't feel it was appropriate discussing with this girl)!

She then told me another strange thing Roberto mentioned about me. He specifically asked her if I was bi-cultural and when she said yes, he went on to say (more like affirm according to her) that then so was my husband.

As much as she and I racked our brains going through that night's events we both came to the same conclusion: I never once opened my mouth in Roberto's presence so there is simply no way he heard my accent. But then how the heck could he have figured out I was a foreigner, let alone, a bi-cultural one? And even more so about Hubby being bi-cultural too?

I have two theories:

- Either he is one bad ass illusionist, or

- He's been reading Fned's Blog.

What do you think?
