Egyptian night

Well, this is a little late but I just found the pictures so I gotta post it.

the night before i left for North Carolina, my father took us out to eat at an Egyptian, Mediterranean, Pakistani Restaurant. The owner gave us the best seats in the house on a bench with cushions and we ate a large platter of food off the brass ottoman looking table. It was very authentic and very good food.

the owner then invited us back that night too see an Egyptian magician. My father did not go but Whitey and Adam came along with my sister and I. Again, the owner gave us the seat of royalty and we smoked Banana Sheesha.
The Egyptian Magician started off his act by spinning for about 15 minutes straight while twirling a very large skirt/umbrella type deal.
Next he brought out a bed of nails, layed down on it and asked Annie to come and stand on his chest...no blood was drawn. He then put another set of nails on his chest and asked someone to stand on that.
He then took out a sheet with broken glass. broke 4 more Heineken bottles and proceeded to walk on the glass. He then picked up Whitey and Adam (which is a task in itself) and walked on the glass. No blood was drawn nor did he flinch his face.

He did some other tricks then an Egyptian singer and keyboardist came out and sang song while we danced. A fun night.
