December - March Wrap Up & Currently Reading - Duration: 8:02.
Hey guys, Katie here. How's it going?
Today I'm going to do a little bit of a wrap-up.
I haven't done one since November, and I've actually been reading a lot of books.
The first two books I'm going to mention, I think I've mentioned before.
I talked about one of them a lot, because I took forever to read it.
One of them was BUFFERING by Hannah Hart,
and the other one was JAM ON THE VINE by LaShonda Katrice Barnett.
I read BUFFERING in December. I really like Hannah Hart.
I just appreciate her as a person, and as
somebody who's on YouTube, who doesn't
feel like a total fake to me. And I was
really excited to read her book, because
I knew that she's been through a lot in
her life and she deals a lot with mental illness,
so I thought that it would be something that I would like, and I did
enjoy it. I didn't think it was amazing,
but I hope that she'll continue to write.
I loved reading the really honest parts
about her struggles with coming to terms
with her sexuality, and her mother's
mental illness. I think those were the
parts that were really strong. So I hope
that she keeps writing, I'm sure she will.
I would love to read something else by
her. I really just like her a lot.
For JAM ON THE VINE, I filmed a book review for that,
that should be up, it should already
be it but it's not. But JAM ON THE VINE
was a really great book. It's about a young
black woman in the early nineteen
hundreds, who wants to write for and
start her own newspaper. And later on, it
really talks a lot about the mass
incarceration of black men, and the
different like riots and things that
happened, and injustices committed
against black people in those in those
years, in the beginning of the 1900s.
Another thing about JAM ON THE VINE that I
didn't realize going into it is that the
main character is a lesbian. I think I
said it before, but I've never read a
book from the perspective of a black
woman in that time period, and in
particular, I've never read a book about
a black lesbian that time period.
Check out my review when it's up, because I
highly recommend JAM ON THE VINE.
The next book that I read, I talked about a lot,
it is THE BURNING WORLD by Isaac Marion,
the sequel to WARM BODIES, which was also
a movie. And I've talked about this at
length, so I'm not going to go into any detail.
I just hope that you are considering it, because
I think that it's a really amazing book,
and Isaac Marion is a wonderful writer,
and I just think it deserves to be read!
So, it's the second book in a series of
three and the third book is hopefully
coming out at the end of the year. It's
called THE LIVING, I think. So be on the
lookout for that, and if you're not going
to read it now, maybe consider reading it
then and then you can read the whole
thing! So in February, I was attempting to
read some books for Black History Month,
and I only finished one, but I have two more
that I'm working on. So the one that I
finished was CITIZEN: AN AMERICAN LYRIC
by Claudia Rankine. And I didn't even
know what it was, I just heard about it
so much, and it was so impactful and so
beautiful and sad. The beginning is kind
of in the form of poems about
microaggressions that black people have
to deal with on a daily basis, and then
there is a chapter that's all about
Serena Williams, and how she deals with
racism, not just in America, but
internationally. And how people treat her
differently because of her race. There's
so much more that she covers. So many
stories about people, who deserve to have
their stories told. And it was, like I
said, beautiful and kind of eye-opening,
despite already kind of having an
understanding of microaggressions and
racism... but it can't hurt to learn more,
and to read more. And I think that I
definitely see why I heard about it so
much. It's definitely an important book.
The next book that I read was BLEAKER HOUSE by Nell Stevens.
And, I'm putting out a review for that this week with my
review of BROTHER'S RUIN by Emma Neuman,
so be sure to check that out. It's sort of
a memoir about Nell Stevens' experience
of going to this isolated island in the
Falklands, and trying to write a book and
failing. And so, it's kind of beautiful
because it's about failure, and it's also
about writing. I enjoyed it, but I didn't
absolutely love it, but I do really like
her writing. I think her writing, especially the
descriptions of nature, and the memoir
pieces were really really good. So, I'm
looking forward to see where else she
writes. After that I read BROTHER'S RUIN by
Emma Newman and I really loved BROTHER'S RUIN.
It wasn't perfect, and it was a lot
of setup. It's a novella, so it's kind of
hard to say, "no I don't have time for
that," because I read it in like two
sittings... only two, because the first
time I didn't have time to read. It's
really great. Like I said, I'm putting out
a review for that this week, so check it
out. And I also have been trying to do
reviews on Goodreads and I'm hoping to
start adding them to my blog soon. So you
can check out my review on Goodreads if
you're interested now, or you can wait
until my review comes out, hopefully later
this week! And then finally, the last book
that I finished was THE BOOK OF THE UNNAMED MIDWIFE by Meg Elison.
It's a post-apocalyptic story about a nurse
midwife, and kind of her journey from when this
flu kind of wipes everybody out, and she
survives it, to when... I guess her story
ends? I don't know how to describe it.
I hated the beginning, I loved the rest of
it, and so I will say to you: if you're
thing about reading this, read it! And if
you struggle in the beginning, just push
on through because it's really worth it.
It's very dark and sad. I t's probably my
favorite of all the post-apocalyptic
stories I've read. And I've read quite a
few. So, that's something.
A couple of books that I'm working on right now, just
so you know: I am reading THE WARMTH OF OTHER SUNS by Isabel Wilkerson.
It's very large, and I actually just got it from
Overdrive so I have the physical book,
but now I have the e-book, I think it'll
be easier to read. And that's really
interesting. That's a really interesting
book, because it's talking about this
migration of black people out of the
south, and it spans like this huge chunk
of time, and nobody talks about it. This
is the kind of thing that I'm really
interested in, the history that we don't
learn in school, that we should learn. And
I am I'm really enjoying it. And then I
also have THE FIRE THIS Time by Jesmyn Ward
I heard so much about this when it
came out, I think, last year,
and I haven't really started it yet. I
read the foreword, but I only have it for
like another week, so I should finish it
this week. But those were two of my Black
History Month reads. Finally, I just
started THE STARS ARE LEGION by Kameron Hurley.
So, I've never read any of her
work before. I saw the alternative book
cover that said LESBIANS IN SPACE on it, and I
was like--anyway I started it and just
like, this is incredible. It's incredible.
And it reminds me a lot of ANCILLARY JUSTICE,
And I really liked that, so I
think it's going to be fantastic, and I'm
not surprised about that at all. So
anyway, I'll update you guys when I
finish those books. It might be a while for
THE WARMTH OF OTHER SUNS, but it's
definitely a work in progress and
getting there. So let me know if you've read
any of these books, or if you're going to
read any of them... I would love to talk to
you in the comments and I will see you
next time, bye!
you

the INVISIBLE turn-over PASS aka HERRMANN PASS | the best CARD CONTROLS in CARD MAGIC - Duration: 6:43.
Hey there everybody, my name is Othmarius and welcome to my channel.
Which is dedicated to close up and parlor card magic.
Wellcome to the very first episode of a brand-new serious here on OTHMARIUS MAGIC.
Which is going to be all about card control sleights in card magic, that´s right!
In every video of this serious I will perform for you guys
One specific card control technique in card magic.
And to make this even more worth your time...
I will talk at the end of every video about the specific technique
Trying to give you some personnel insights and thoughts on the move.
The plan is that this serious over time turns into a neat playlist.
So that when ever someone tunes in,
He just needs to lean back to get an overview
Over all these crazy card control moves out there.
Sounds great? I think so!
Let's dig right into it!
Alright folks, the first move I wanna show you in this serious
Is out there for ages, because it's such a practical move.
Let me show you, how this looks like.
First of all we need to pretend to have a spectator select a card out of the deck
Since then is what we do in Card Magic so many times
And we do this with the classic in hands spread
And let's say a spectator goes with the jack of hearts.
Why not? If the spectator wants the jack of hearts, he shall play along with the jack of hearts.
We leave the jack where we found him and proceed with out pattern.
With the process of, you know, getting it done neat and well.
And so beautiful!
You are going to be ready before you know it, because the dirty work is already done.
Take a look, the jack of hearts is already on top of the deck.
Are you crazy? How is that even possible?
I don't know, maybe it's real magic, is it?
You can do this also with all them cards face down, guys.
In a little variation, let me try this now.
Take a look, we got the four of clubs.
And we leave the four of clubs right there in the centre of the pack.
And then we go on with our pattern and preceding
Of getting the crowd, you know, totally crazy
Yet again, hiding in plain sight.
Pulling of the move, bringing the target card, the four of clubs, right there on top of the deck.

Fate/Grand Order English - Fuyuki Chapter 6 - Cú Chulainn Caster - Duration: 7:54.
[Servant Lancer] Caster, You! Why, are you siding, with those drifters....!?
[Caster] Ha? Because they're much better than you lot, of course. And I don't hate kids with potentials in them.
[Caster] You girl, fix your stance. You're not losing to them in term of skill. You can turn the table if you're careful enough.
[Mashu] Y..Yes, I'll do my best!
[Caster] Kid, you're a Master? Then, I'll leave the commands to you.
[Caster] I'm Caster-class Servant. For a certain reason, I consider them as enemies.
[Caster] The enemy of your enemy isn't exactly an ally, but for now, you can trust me.
[Caster] Out of regard for that girl who fought bravely by herself, I'll be your Servant, it would be a temporary contract though!
[Servant Assassin] Guh---- Damn you, the Holy Grail, is within my reach, and yet----
[Mashu] U-Um... Thank you, very much. You saved us from a dangerous situation...
[Caster] Hey, you did good. There's no need to thank me, I'm just evening the odds.
[Caster] More importantly you need to worry more about your own body. That Assassin kept locking on to your bottom, right?
[Mashu] Hyan....!
[Caster] Oh, You looked like a frail lass but you sure have a great body! What a rare finds.
[Caster] I have no clue about your class, but with that endurance maybe Saber? I don't think so, since you don't have a sword.
[Olga Marie] ....Hey, Fujimaru. What do you think of that?
[Fujimaru] There's no doubt, he's a sexual-harassing old pervert
[Dr. Roman] For now, let's hear what he have to say. I think he's a "sane" Heroic Spirit.
[Caster] Oh, you actually have someone that quickly understand the situation. What is it, nerd? Is that some means of communications through Magecraft?
[Dr. Roman] Nice to meet you, Caster-class Servant. I'm not sure what Heroic Spirit you might be, but We are humbled and honored to meet-
[Caster] Ah, just skip the long introductions. I've tired of hearing them. Get straight to the point, you weakling. That's what you're good for, right?
[Dr. Roman] Uh…w-well then, let's not waste the time....weakling... I got called weakling on the first meeting, again…
[Dr. Roman] ....And That's our, Chaldea's situation
[Dr. Roman] Right now, Fujimaru is conducting a field research as a Master
[Dr. Roman] Let me confirm it, you're a Servant from the Holy Grail War that took place in this town and the only survivor, correct?
[Caster] I didn't lose, to be more precise. Before any of us realize anything, our Holy Grail War was switched with something else
[Caster] I don't know the details. In just one night, the town engulfed in fire, humans had disappeared, and only Servants remained.
[Caster] Saber was the first to start the Holy Grail War again. That Servant has gone on a rampage like a fish finally getting water.
[Caster] Saber has defeated Archer, Lancer, Rider, Berserker and Assassin.
[Olga Marie] Survival of the seven Servants....So that's the rule of the Holy Grail War that took place in this town.
[Mashu] And you, Caster, won that battle royale.... No, you're the only one that survive, right.
[Caster] Yes. And the servants defeated by Saber were contaminated with black mud, as you saw with those two.
[Caster] They started to search something along with the monsters that appearing like maggots.
[Caster] Unfortunately I'm in their list of "things" to search, what a pain in the arse. As long as I'm alive, the Holy Grail War won't end
[Dr. Roman] The only remaining Servants are Saber and you... So if you defeat Saber, then
[Caster] Yup, the Holy Grail War in this city will end. Although, I'm not sure if this situation will ever go back to how it was.
[Olga Marie] I knew it. You came to rescue us, but in the end it was all for yourself.
[Olga Marie] You want to defeat Saber. But you have no chance of winning in one-on-one battle, that's why you helped us....Am I wrong?
[Caster] That's right. But it's not a bad deal, don't you think? At any rate----Look, a costumer has arrive.
[Olga Marie] Hii....!
[Caster] These things will spawn endlessly. Having more friends won't hurt you a bit!
[Mashu] Fuu……It's finally calmed down. Yeah, we definitely can't talk in peace if they keep coming.
[Caster] Sorry. If only I had been summoned as a Lancer, I'd have been able to finish Saber in one pierce.
[Caster] Man, Caster-class is absolutely not my style. There's not much I can do as a Caster in Fuyuki's Holy Grail War.
[Fujimaru] If you were a Lancer.....?
[Mashu] It's possible, Senpai. There are some Heroic Spirits who possess the traits of multiple classes.
[Mashu] Even though this person is a spear user, he have the skill of a magician, I think he's a high-level Heroic Spirit.
[Mashu] It's only a speculation, he must be one of the top servant. Almost like he'd be listed in the VIVIAN. (See Translation Note #1)
[Caster] That's how it is. You guys said that you're Master from an organization called Chaldea…… Well, guess that's fine.
[Caster] I won't get deeply involved with things outside of my own time period, that's the Golden Rule of a Servant. We only cooperate as a weapon.
[Caster] Your goal is to investigate this abnormality. My goal is to end this Holy Grail War
[Caster] Our interest line up. Why don't we join forces in a friendly way?
[Olga Marie] ...... I think that's a sound decision. But in that case, who will be your master?
[Caster] Well, that would obviously be the kid over there. You don't have the aptitude to be a master, after all.
[Caster] Boy, another rare case. Your magic circuit quantity and quality are first-class but zero aptitude to be a Master. Is it a curse?
[Olga Marie] Shut up, what difference does it make?
[Olga Marie] Fujimaru, I'll leave him to you. Use him as best as you can.
[Caster] Well that's settled. The contract is limited to this town, but let's get along.
[Caster] In that case, next thing is to check the objective. What you people are searching for is without a doubt the Greater Grail.
[Dr. Roman] Greater Grail....? I've never heard of it, what is that?
[Caster] The true "Heart" of this land. If there's a singularity, or what not, it must be there.
[Caster] But, Saber is always loitering around the Greater Grail. Along with the remaining Servants that got corrupted .
[Olga Marie] The ones remaining are Berserker and Archer? How are them, I mean those two. Are they strong?
[Caster] About that Archer, just leave him to me and I'll handle him somehow. The problem is Berserker.
[Caster] That thing is a monster, it even gave Saber a hard time. But as long as we don't approach that monster, it won't attack us.
[Dr. Roman] I understand the situation. So we will aim for the Greater Grail with Mr. Caster.
[Dr. Roman] Mr. Caster, can you guide us?
[Caster] Just drop the "Mr.". I'll show you the way, I'll leave timing to the kiddo.
[Dr. Roman] Much appreciated. Let's resume the search. I'll leave everything to you, Fujimaru.

December - March Wrap Up & Currently Reading - Duration: 8:02.Hey guys, Katie here. How's it going?
Today I'm going to do a little bit of a wrap-up.
I haven't done one since November, and I've actually been reading a lot of books.
The first two books I'm going to mention, I think I've mentioned before.
I talked about one of them a lot, because I took forever to read it.
One of them was BUFFERING by Hannah Hart,
and the other one was JAM ON THE VINE by LaShonda Katrice Barnett.
I read BUFFERING in December. I really like Hannah Hart.
I just appreciate her as a person, and as
somebody who's on YouTube, who doesn't
feel like a total fake to me. And I was
really excited to read her book, because
I knew that she's been through a lot in
her life and she deals a lot with mental illness,
so I thought that it would be something that I would like, and I did
enjoy it. I didn't think it was amazing,
but I hope that she'll continue to write.
I loved reading the really honest parts
about her struggles with coming to terms
with her sexuality, and her mother's
mental illness. I think those were the
parts that were really strong. So I hope
that she keeps writing, I'm sure she will.
I would love to read something else by
her. I really just like her a lot.
For JAM ON THE VINE, I filmed a book review for that,
that should be up, it should already
be it but it's not. But JAM ON THE VINE
was a really great book. It's about a young
black woman in the early nineteen
hundreds, who wants to write for and
start her own newspaper. And later on, it
really talks a lot about the mass
incarceration of black men, and the
different like riots and things that
happened, and injustices committed
against black people in those in those
years, in the beginning of the 1900s.
Another thing about JAM ON THE VINE that I
didn't realize going into it is that the
main character is a lesbian. I think I
said it before, but I've never read a
book from the perspective of a black
woman in that time period, and in
particular, I've never read a book about
a black lesbian that time period.
Check out my review when it's up, because I
highly recommend JAM ON THE VINE.
The next book that I read, I talked about a lot,
it is THE BURNING WORLD by Isaac Marion,
the sequel to WARM BODIES, which was also
a movie. And I've talked about this at
length, so I'm not going to go into any detail.
I just hope that you are considering it, because
I think that it's a really amazing book,
and Isaac Marion is a wonderful writer,
and I just think it deserves to be read!
So, it's the second book in a series of
three and the third book is hopefully
coming out at the end of the year. It's
called THE LIVING, I think. So be on the
lookout for that, and if you're not going
to read it now, maybe consider reading it
then and then you can read the whole
thing! So in February, I was attempting to
read some books for Black History Month,
and I only finished one, but I have two more
that I'm working on. So the one that I
finished was CITIZEN: AN AMERICAN LYRIC
by Claudia Rankine. And I didn't even
know what it was, I just heard about it
so much, and it was so impactful and so
beautiful and sad. The beginning is kind
of in the form of poems about
microaggressions that black people have
to deal with on a daily basis, and then
there is a chapter that's all about
Serena Williams, and how she deals with
racism, not just in America, but
internationally. And how people treat her
differently because of her race. There's
so much more that she covers. So many
stories about people, who deserve to have
their stories told. And it was, like I
said, beautiful and kind of eye-opening,
despite already kind of having an
understanding of microaggressions and
racism... but it can't hurt to learn more,
and to read more. And I think that I
definitely see why I heard about it so
much. It's definitely an important book.
The next book that I read was BLEAKER HOUSE by Nell Stevens.
And, I'm putting out a review for that this week with my
review of BROTHER'S RUIN by Emma Neuman,
so be sure to check that out. It's sort of
a memoir about Nell Stevens' experience
of going to this isolated island in the
Falklands, and trying to write a book and
failing. And so, it's kind of beautiful
because it's about failure, and it's also
about writing. I enjoyed it, but I didn't
absolutely love it, but I do really like
her writing. I think her writing, especially the
descriptions of nature, and the memoir
pieces were really really good. So, I'm
looking forward to see where else she
writes. After that I read BROTHER'S RUIN by
Emma Newman and I really loved BROTHER'S RUIN.
It wasn't perfect, and it was a lot
of setup. It's a novella, so it's kind of
hard to say, "no I don't have time for
that," because I read it in like two
sittings... only two, because the first
time I didn't have time to read. It's
really great. Like I said, I'm putting out
a review for that this week, so check it
out. And I also have been trying to do
reviews on Goodreads and I'm hoping to
start adding them to my blog soon. So you
can check out my review on Goodreads if
you're interested now, or you can wait
until my review comes out, hopefully later
this week! And then finally, the last book
that I finished was THE BOOK OF THE UNNAMED MIDWIFE by Meg Elison.
It's a post-apocalyptic story about a nurse
midwife, and kind of her journey from when this
flu kind of wipes everybody out, and she
survives it, to when... I guess her story
ends? I don't know how to describe it.
I hated the beginning, I loved the rest of
it, and so I will say to you: if you're
thing about reading this, read it! And if
you struggle in the beginning, just push
on through because it's really worth it.
It's very dark and sad. I t's probably my
favorite of all the post-apocalyptic
stories I've read. And I've read quite a
few. So, that's something.
A couple of books that I'm working on right now, just
so you know: I am reading THE WARMTH OF OTHER SUNS by Isabel Wilkerson.
It's very large, and I actually just got it from
Overdrive so I have the physical book,
but now I have the e-book, I think it'll
be easier to read. And that's really
interesting. That's a really interesting
book, because it's talking about this
migration of black people out of the
south, and it spans like this huge chunk
of time, and nobody talks about it. This
is the kind of thing that I'm really
interested in, the history that we don't
learn in school, that we should learn. And
I am I'm really enjoying it. And then I
also have THE FIRE THIS Time by Jesmyn Ward
I heard so much about this when it
came out, I think, last year,
and I haven't really started it yet. I
read the foreword, but I only have it for
like another week, so I should finish it
this week. But those were two of my Black
History Month reads. Finally, I just
started THE STARS ARE LEGION by Kameron Hurley.
So, I've never read any of her
work before. I saw the alternative book
cover that said LESBIANS IN SPACE on it, and I
was like--anyway I started it and just
like, this is incredible. It's incredible.
And it reminds me a lot of ANCILLARY JUSTICE,
And I really liked that, so I
think it's going to be fantastic, and I'm
not surprised about that at all. So
anyway, I'll update you guys when I
finish those books. It might be a while for
THE WARMTH OF OTHER SUNS, but it's
definitely a work in progress and
getting there. So let me know if you've read
any of these books, or if you're going to
read any of them... I would love to talk to
you in the comments and I will see you
next time, bye!
you
