I Have A Dream
Eric and the Magic Lamps Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stay up all night
In a cardboard box on the floor
Thinking of how life is such a mistake for me
And after we'll lie
Just to hide our mistakes
Think about all the night
The look in my eye
Wake up it's the light that the engine makes
When you leave it to go
Lay down underneath of the aching stairs
So that I can find you
I have none
I have none
I have none but it feels like so much
Wake up it's the light that the engine makes
When you leave it to go
Lay down underneath of the aching stairs
So that I can find you
I have none




I have none
I have none but it feels like so much

no its actually not.
the first trick was to change the colour. if u look closely to the point where he is getting the cards.
u will see the red ones he take from the top, the blue ones from the bottom.
after it. i have no fucking idea. i think he is a wizard.

@darksiderider1233

This entire trick is so incredible to watch. So many mind blowing things happened but there’s just something about the beginning when he made those 2 rectangles just pop into their places that really blew my mind and sucked me into this one
