New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner is considered one of the top cornerbacks in the entire National Football League (NFL). As a result, Gardner’s hands hold immense value, not only to himself but also to the New York Jets organization. However, a magic trick that Gardner experienced while in Las Vegas for the Pro Bowl has made him reluctant to ever return to the Sin City.
During his time in Vegas, Gardner found himself involved in a card trick that left him astounded. He firmly believed that the cards were in his hands, but to his surprise, the magician transformed them into a block of glass. Gardner recalls the moment, stating, “At the end, he said ‘now it’s a block of glass; move your hand,’ and a block of glass was in my hands instead of the cards. I’m not going back to Vegas.”
While it is possible that Gardner’s decision to avoid Vegas stems from being unnerved by the trick, let’s explore the situation further. Gardner was under the impression that he was holding a deck of cards, completely convinced of their presence. However, the magician skillfully employed sleight of hand to replace the cards with a solid block of glass. What if Gardner had squeezed the block or made a sudden movement upon realizing the cards had vanished?
The consequences could have been disastrous, potentially resulting in severe injury and long-term damage to Gardner’s valuable hands. Fortunately, such a scenario did not occur. Nevertheless, Gardner remains unenthusiastic about revisiting Vegas, even with the NFL’s announcement that the Pro Bowl Games will return to Orlando in 2024.
