Life is a magical thing full of incredible events that happen by chance. Or not? Is every event in our life someone's very good plan? Let's find out by listening to Helder Guimarães's speech which will show us in an unusual way the whole point of coincidence
And my question to you:
1.Do you believe in coincidence?
2. What is the most incredible coincidence that happened to you?
3. Do you know any magic trick? If yes, present it please. If not, would you like to learn one?
Comments
Rather no than yes, I believe in fate, if something is destined to happen, then sooner or later it will happen anyway.
2. What is the most incredible coincidence that happened to you?
I was born in a small town, and in childhood, like all children at that time, my friends and I often gathered on the street to play and spent time like everyone else. Then we began to grow up, more and more complex subjects appeared in the school, and over time we got to play together less and less. Then after some time I left the city and a few years later I left the country. And after almost ten years as we last saw each other, in a big city of another country I accidentally met on the street a guy from our old company.
3. Do you know any magic trick? If yes, present it please. If not, would you like to learn one?
No, I don’t know any magic tricks, as a child I tried to learn different magic tricks and even learned some of them, but then I lost interest in this. In general, I'd like to learn some card tricks.
2. I don't remember there was many of them, maybe for example when i met with my friend when i was in Croatia and non of us known that we were there.
3. I do know a magic trick for cloning items in Tibia, You just need to put an expensive item on a depot box when my character stands behind and than write "clone" while holding down ctrl button. 20% of a time it works every time.
2. I don’t think I have any specific one in my mind right now. I consider myself to be a very lucky person, but mostly due to a lot of minor happy events rather than one outstanding miracle.
3. No, I don’t. And I wouldn’t want to know any. I prefer to watch them, rather than do them. It just gives me more fun, so I don’t feel this need to learn this on my own.
2. The most incredible „coincidence” that has ever happened to me was meeting a friend, I used to play with when we were kids but we’d lost contact at the age of 15, at the train station in Milan, additionally we both were wating for the same train. But as I just don’t sheer coincidence, I’d say it was rather destinty for both of us to finally meet each other again.
3. Unfortunatelly I don’t know any magic trick.
I would like to learn one if I only had a chance. I think it would be really interesting to get to know the „secrets” of magic.
When I was 6 years old I managed to find 100PLN in the staircase. Another unbelievable coincidence is meeting a friend from a few years ago on the train. Another coincidence is the date of my leg surgery and my date of birth. On the 18th birthday I received a great gift in the form of surgery :P
I know a few tricks with katrty, but it's hard to write about it. Magic tricks are great and I'm happy to learn how to do them. A real magician never reveals his secrets ;)
I often think about consciousness. You know that healthy people are conscious. But have you ever thought how your own consciousness is different from every other human's consciousness? I mean, if you were replaced by other kind of mind where you are not yourself anymore, your body isn't your - body and mind that were yours now are just other person's, imagine that if that person would behave just like you, noone would see difference, but you would (actually you wouldn't, but let's say you know that this thing happend) because it wouldn't be your consciousness anymore. Have you ever thought about coincidence that makes you you? How different you experience your own consciousness.
I know about some basic tricks that would delight small children. I wouldn't learn new tricks, i prefer to watch professionals like penn and teller do them :)
Yes, I believe, because I think destiny should include "coincidence" too, just like opening Online English Course tonight to comment on presentions is my destiny, but I was sending a word “Coincidence" to my friend and suddenly see here has a presention called "......Coincidence" is coincidence, so this is what I think destiny include coincidence.
2. What is the most incredible coincidence that happened to you?
Too many, but first come to my mind is that 7 years ago, once I dreamed about my cat fell down from my home balcony, it was my only dream in my life about my cat falling down so far, also my home look exactly the same as in real life( maybe its normal that sometimes people dream about where they are living in ), but the abnormal thing is that my cat really fell down in same place that night after my dream, was it destiny or coincidence? seems it was both.
3. Do you know any magic trick? If yes, present it please. If not, would you like to learn one?
Yes, I practiced magic for years when I was young, now I haven't practiced magic for more than 10 years, it is not my daily hobby anymore, without using magic props, the only tricks I can do now are spining a card in finger or hiding cards in back of hand and so on.
2. I can’t remember such, maybe that means that no really huge coincidence has happened to me yet. Maybe later.
3. You know this magic trick with “cutting” your finger? I can’t even do that. And that’s ok – while I think it would be fun to learn some magic trick, you have to be really determined to learn something this. Not my case.
1. Conincidences happen, it is not a matter to discuss I guess :). I guess everybody encountered something like that in its life.
2. I honestly can't think of any. There were a lot of things that happened somewhat randomly in my life.
3. I "know" how to do some card trick, but just from the theory. I've never been able to pull one off myself.
2. I do not remember if any coincidence has happened in my life. Maybe that is why I do not believe in such things.
3. No, I don’t know any. If I had a chance I would like to learn even one as it may be quite interesting and would give a fun to know some magic tricks.
I believe that many things do have connections, perhaps sometimes fate really wants us to meet certain people e.g it could all be an illusion but some things, especially in my life or what i've heard from others seem like too big to just be a coincidence sometimes...
2. What is the most incredible coincidence that happened to you?
I honestly don't remember any now.
3. Do you know any magic trick? If yes, present it please. If not, would you like to learn one?
No I don't know unfortunately but yes I would like to get at least 1 good trick that impress people.
I don't believe in coincidence, in my opinion everything that happens has a purpose. The moist incredible coincidence is unexpected meeting of my good old friend in some club in Bulgaria. The same place, on the same time, far away from home and I couldn't believe in it. I used to learn some magic tricks but I had too small hands. I would love to learn few tricks to entertain people on parties and make show.
In many situations we can talk not about a chance but in many, about the destiny. What seems to be accidental to us at the beginning: meeting someone over time may bear the hallmarks of destiny, i.e. something that we were to experience in our lives.
2. What is the most incredible coincidence that happened to you?
In my case, my date of birth. My mother thinks that she already knew her as a teenager. It's hard to believe, but she dreamed about my date of birth in her childhood.
3. Do you know any magic trick? If yes, present it please. If not, would you like to learn one?
I admire David Copperfield, he can make not only small objects disappear but also a train. I would like to see it one day closer. I prefer to watch rather than work with that.
2. I have no idea because I think I have never experienced a coincidence .
3. I learned this trick together with a friend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9uTNuYz3rg
2. Well they are happening all the time so I can't remember any specific. It's such a weird experience.
3. Not really but I would gladly learn one.
With regard to tricks, I can advise you to study mathematical tricks first, they require less effort to study and have a rather impressive effect, or you can try to perform a simple double lift, also a fairly visual trick. Hope this brings you back to the magic world :)
P.S. and about the magic trick, I would just call it a trick :)
2. Like i said in previous answer: I do not believe in coincidence, but one of the most bizzare situation i had was that i met my friend on a university. As we were talking together, it turned out that we had like 3 situations where we were in the same place and at the same time (we were on same music show twice and i accidently saw him near my high school)
3. No, I do not know any magic tricks, and I don't think that I would like to learn any
As for magic, I also like to watch how something impossible happens, but as a curious person I want to learn how it works and learn it myself. And I should say that this does not make the trick less exciting, or even opposite.
I didn't have any incredible coincidences but the last one I had that one day I saw numbers consists only of 2 and 1 digits. It was really scary:).
Unfortunately, I do not know any of the magic tricks. However, in the future, I may learn one. But you need to spend a lot of time on them that you could use to learn something more useful.
2. There were quite a lot of situations when I met my friends or acquaintances somewhere abroad by an accident.
3. I used to know some card tricks, but I can't remember them anymore.
Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVDwKxlcx-4
2. I can't remember this kind situation. When I think about coincidence, I remember only the situations when unexpectedly I meet some friends or people, which I don’t want to meet or haven’t seen for a long time. But It’s not incredible coincidence.
3. No, I don’t know and I don’t want to learn it. I'm not interested in this.
2. Maybe the most incredible "coincidence" happened when I was at school. I made one friend in MMORPG on the global server (people from all around the world can join it). It turned out that he not only from my country, but from my city, and from the next semester will study in my school. Random in all its glory. :D
3. Yeah. I know one cool magic trick. It's called "vanishing of 1 kilo of chocolate candies without taking a break on something else". I think everyone knows how to do it, but not everyone can do it. :D
2) My life is boring, I can`t remember.
3) No, I don’t know any. If I shall learn – there will be no magic.
2)I don't believe in "coincidences," or to be more precise, I don't find this concept all that useful, and hence I can't be bothered enough to remember such occurences.
3)I tried to learn some of them when I was a child. I wasn't very successful back then and only managed to master some simple card tricks. But I always wanted to learn the trick with cutting a person in two pieces. For some reason, every magician performing it has a very pretty female assistant for it...
