The first story is told by Meraux Dantes, a mysterious and mystical mindreader—and a charming and captivating character. Close up you’ll see him move objects without touching them and bend metal with his mind. His greatest talent is not in his fork-bending or mind-reading but in his ability to create personal connections and generate genuine warmth with every person he meets.

In this story, Meraux tells about the time he tried to get four dozen forks through security at the airport.
