He must have found the company enjoyable and worth his extra time. That says something about you, Magician! Congratulations! Hope we can see the vid or at least a snippet at some point down the road.

I knew a kid like that in high school, I think he had it memorized to 500 or 1000 digits.

That's his website. The kid was a freak!

Whereabouts?

I was in Toronto the last two weeks teaching Level II Equity Analysis. Back in February I was there for two Level III Fixed Income classes. I'll be back again twice in April for Level III reviews, then in May for a Level III Mock Exam.
