Paying with Euros

Image: Euros This is a truly great Jedi Mind Trick.

Suppose that your on a date and you've had dessert and the bill comes and your date doesn't make any effort to try and pay.

First you should try and stall to give her a chance. Maybe she doesn't know you're a Jedi. But if you've waited a while and you've already ordered another dessert and she still hasn't made any attempts to pay and you're kind of out of things to talk about this Jedi Mind Trick will get you off the hook.

Pick up the bill and go to pay the waiter in front of your date. When you open your wallet you discover that all you have is Euros. You don't have to have real Euros, just printed high quality facsimiles. You could make them at home, just find some high res pictures of Euros online, crop them and print them out. Say to the waiter "Oh, darn, I haven't changed my money yet. You take Euros, don't you?". It's best if you can say it in a European accent. Your date will be very impressed that you've been to Europe and can speak European and this will give you something else to talk about later. Meanwhile the waiter will, if you're in Canada, most definitely tell you that he/she doesn't take Euros and your date will pay the bill. 

If your date still doesn't offer to pay the bill you could give the waiter one of those American Express cards that say "Your Name Here" and tell him you'll come back to pick it up after you change your money.That will usually make everyone happy but you'll have to wait until American Express sends you another one before you can go on another date.

Riding the Bus

Sometimes I ride the bus a lot because I don't like to drive my landspeeder around. It gets too many looks. And a great Jedi Mind Trick you can do on the bus is to take an old tranfer that has the same time on it that your getting on the bus, and cover the date with your finger and show it to the bus driver. You wave it back and forth like your showing it to him, but really you're doing a Jedi Mind Trick.

Now sometimes the bus driver will stop you and say "Can I see that please", which is why I wear a Jedi mood ring on the finger that's covering the date. Because when the bus driver asks to see the transfer I pretend to think that he's really interested in my ring and I put the transfer in my other hand so I can use it again and show him my ring and start to tell him where I got it and what sorta mood I'm in and how he could be a Jedi too and just not know it.

Usually this works. If it doesn't I just pretend I forgot something and get off the bus and wait for another one.

Invisibility

Image: ME and my lightsaberMost people don't know that Jedi's can become invisible.  This is because it wasn't shown in any of the Star Wars movies. Well, it was but probably you couldn't see it because they were invisible. Anyways, as you can imagine it's one of the most useful mind-tricks out there.

Now I can't tell you how it's done, except that it takes a real Jedi Master like myself to be able to do it properly, but I can tell you that there's a lot of practice involved. Mostly in the dark with your eyes closed.

Fork through Hand

Sometimes when you're out you'll be called upon to display your mastery of the Force. And if the Force isn't with you at that particular time it can be quite embarassing - which is why it helps to have a few magic tricks up your sleeve. One trick I sometimes do when people want proof that I'm a Jedi is the "Fork through the Hand". To do this trick usually you want to pick a woman and have her try to stick a fork through your hand. You should use a fork because knives can be very sharp and you don't want to risk hurting yourself. Spoons don't impress anybody. When she tries to stick the fork through your hand you don't wince or anything, just use your Jedi powers to pretend you didn't feel a thing. They will be very impressed.

Tip #1: Don't put your hand on the table or against anything when you do this trick. If you do it might hurt a lot.

Tip #2: Don't let a short guy try to put the fork through your hand because they will try to kill you out of jealousy and that might hurt too. It's just the way they are.
