#583 - Blackstone
When I was a kid I would practice magic tricks and then show them to my mom. She was always very amazed by what I could do. Now that I’m an adult and interact with other kids… I have a feeling that I wasn’t actually as impressive as she made me seem to be.

Hey! Two biffs!
September 4th, 2008 at 12:04 am
I wish my mirror worked that way. This time he didn’t have to dodge the guy coming out of the mirror.
September 4th, 2008 at 12:10 am
I did learn quite a few card tricks. Useful for impressing schoolmates and a few teachers, but not much else. Hooray for useless skills!
September 4th, 2008 at 12:24 am
Oh, I get it, you’re making up for not drawing Biff in the Houdini comic.
September 4th, 2008 at 12:30 am
Yeah, too bad the audience would probably like the mirror biff trick better =p
September 4th, 2008 at 12:48 am
Wait… How do we know which one is the real Biff? AUGH!
The Duck Has spoken.

This is the scariest Biff I’ve ever seen. There’s usually some bizarre form of reality present, but this utter breakage of all things real….what would happen should Biff turn his powers toward evil?
September 4th, 2008 at 1:20 am
Something about this picture seems veeery familiar…it has a certain poetry about it that I can’t quite place.
September 4th, 2008 at 2:14 am
A ha! I figured out Biff’s trick! ALL THOSE CARDS ARE THE SAME :O
Or Chris got lazy! That could also be it.
The Duck Has Spoken.
September 4th, 2008 at 2:15 am
Oh, wait, nevermind… Those are the backs of the cards… I’m a moron. ALSO I’M TIRED. So good night, sleep deprived brain.

Interesting way to practice.
September 4th, 2008 at 3:17 am
‘S the first time we’ve seen another person, no?
Even if it IS mirror-biff…
September 4th, 2008 at 3:58 am
god your comics are the best….
hmmm i wonder if….. *he runs off and does something “Biff”*
September 4th, 2008 at 8:10 am
OK, now THAT is just surreal.
But perfectly Biff!
September 4th, 2008 at 9:57 am
I’ve through this too… not with card tricks, but winning games (card and board games).
Only a few years later, when I myself let a child win, my brain had this déjà vu and I realized I hadn’t actually won in my time.
September 4th, 2008 at 9:58 am
Is the last one going to be called “Dresden?”
September 4th, 2008 at 11:48 am
I think you should paint that on something expensive and sell it to an art gallery to put in the surrealism section. Seriously!
September 4th, 2008 at 11:50 am
Dam, that’s a pretty impressive trick!
September 4th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
But which one is the REAL Biff?
September 4th, 2008 at 12:33 pm
@tpiro - You’ll have to ask a question that only the REAL Biff would know!
September 4th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
Ever notice how when you can tell that someone’s magic trick is fake, you can never seem to prove it to evreyone else who’s watching?
September 4th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
@Chris- What question would that be…? o_O throw me a bone!
September 4th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
why does one Biff have a chair and the other has a stool?
September 4th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
@Krasno - It doesn’t matter. The fake Biff will try to talk to answer the question, while REAL Biff would immediately go and do something illogical and amazing to show you.
@no name - The both look like chairs to me. You can’t see the back the way he’s sitting.
September 4th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
@Krasno: What is the proper way to operate a handheld GPS unit?
September 4th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
What the heck?!
Hmm, maybe now it can be offically said that for the first time there was a second person in a Biff comic!
@ Kbman: lol
September 4th, 2008 at 8:25 pm
your mum sounds like an angel
September 4th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
@ no name Yeah you’re right, the mirror Biff doesn’t have a chair! Maybe in Mirror world the backs of chairs don’t exist because Mirror wood is hard to come by, who puts trees infront of mirrors?
September 4th, 2008 at 9:42 pm
On further thought, this reminds me of the quote “The fool didn’t know it couldn’t be done, so he went ahead and did it.”
September 4th, 2008 at 10:34 pm
A Biff clone of sorts, thats a scary thought.
September 4th, 2008 at 11:53 pm
Am I the only person who understands Micah’s reference?
September 5th, 2008 at 7:11 am
Twice the Biff means twice the havoc and hopefully that means twice the comics made per week . ;P
September 5th, 2008 at 7:14 am
A mirror can only reflect what’s in front of it. A real person has the power to choose what is seen in the mirror. The real Biff is the one who chooses a card.
@ MadDavid. As far as I know. Explain please?
September 5th, 2008 at 7:40 am
haha excellent! oh and my sister loves book 2 too!
September 5th, 2008 at 11:53 am
is mirror biff biff’s arch nemisis?
September 5th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Chris, you have really out done yourself. I’m serious. I saw this comic and started worshipping you. Bravo, Chris. Bravo.
September 5th, 2008 at 7:37 pm
@ i.half4 - all the comics monday through thursday have been magicians names… Dresden is another magician, right, Micah/MadDavid?
September 13th, 2008 at 6:27 pm
Ooh, the first actual person besides Biff appearing in the comic! Okay, so it’s another Biff, but it’s a step. . .
November 4th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
This made me laugh out loud.
