I actually think for do you know when you're doing the receptions for like a corporate where you've only got about an hour and a half before you go and do table sets this is such a cool thing to just we talk about openers and I think as an openness is quite bold but if you are a fun playful person and then you smash something like this out you you're giving somebody a bit like oh that magician wow that was a bit odd and then you come and do something really fun afterwards they're not going to forget that opener you started with that really dangerous thing and then all of a sudden yeah it's great I love it.
