#45- Perfect a magic trick

Now before you watch this, you have to understand a very important detail. If you have the urge to write a comment with something to the effect of "Dude, I totally know how you did this" you have to realize that I don't care. Anybody can figure it out if they watch it enough times. These are my goals not yours. With that in mind, enjoy.

Material World

Material things are not important in this life. The reason I know this is because in the pre-existence, there are almost no buildings or architecture of any kind. There are only some really nice steps and columns. Also, there are people, singing about whether or not they will find each other or live in the same family on earth. But, other than that, nothing.
