Auctions were once an exclusive event for high-society types. But eBay brought fierce bidding wars to the masses. Unfortunately, scammers saw their chance to make a quick buck. And many of these scumbags are never caught or punished.
But this time is different. These two bidders actually found the scammer who duped them. And they hauled her in front of Judge Judy. She gets the public scolding of a lifetime. And it’s exactly what she deserves. It’s great to see someone caught red handed. (Taken from kimkomando.com)

This fun YouTube video features a 1980s pop classic. The rock band Toto scored their biggest hit with Africa in 1982. The song is instantly recognizable. But it has been reinvented.
Perpetuum Jazzile is an a cappella jazz choir from Slovenia. It’s hard to think of something further from an ‘80s rock band. But their version of Africa may best the original. The group has amazing voices.
But the beginning of this video is really striking. Group members simulate an African thunderstorm with their hands. It’s really something to see and hear. (taken from kimkomando.com)

Card tricks are the bread and butter of every magic act. They’re usually the first things a magician learns. Most then move on to larger illusions, like making a tank disappear. But a really good card trick can be just as impressive.
Shawn Farquhar is a two-time World Champion of Magic. He can do amazing things with a deck of cards. He created a routine around Sting’s song Shape of My Heart. He cuts, shuffles and fans the cards with ease. But he keeps track of every card in the deck. I’ve watched this over and over. It’s bafflingly good every time. From: kimkomando.com
