Hello from New York City! A place where many residents think they have seen it all.
Well if that’s true, then I’m not your typical New Yorker. I know I haven’t seen it all and I get excited when I see something or someone out of the ordinary.
Especially when that someone is pulling off a skill that at first glance seems easy, but then—on closer inspection—leaves me wondering, “how the hell does he do that?”
Rick Smith Jr. leaves me wondering exactly that. How the hell does he do what he does?
