#TurnBackTuesday: Never play chicken with a magician [from Reddit]

From the October 28th Reddit post "TIFU by challenging a magician to a game of chicken": 

This happened when I was a young man of about 19-20. The distant past of the early 2010s. An important thing about me back then (and still now) is that I didn't really ever consider the consequences of my actions. If something sounded like it would be funny, as a rule, I would generally just do it and hope for the best.

I was attending university in Canada and there was a campus event where comedy magician Wes Barker was performing at the campus pub.
