This is a sentence from a book I'm reading:
" You, erm, your name is ... no don't tell me, er. steve? "
What is the meaning of "erm" & "er." ?
Thanks in advance,
Tom

You're welcome VS You are welcome
"You're welcome to come and see the flat tomorrow "
Is it correct?

Card magic
I'm going to share with you some magician's secrets, but first please just say stop whenever you like..
( I riffle the cards ) RIght here? are you sure? Ok, please take your card, remember it and show everybody, I will not look ( spectator showing the card ) and again, just say stop whenever you like .. ( I'm putting piles of cards on the table ) please put you card here ... and now it's lost in the deck, right? fair, isn't it? ...
Have you ever heard about marked deck? I will teach you how to spot the marking, but please do not tell anyone, promise? Ok, fine :) I'm afraid that the lighting here is not the best ... the mark should looks like .... THIS! ( showing blue card in the middle of red deck ) Can you see it? really? nice! and what was the name of your card? ( flipping the card - spectator go wild ) Wow, splendid! ( putting the card aside )
I'm going to break another magician rule : "Never do a trick twice". So, do you want to see it again? :)
Please say stop, remember your card, and now, in the second time, your card will be the odd one in the deck, now you know how to spot the marking... ( spreading the deck on the table, can't find the odd card ) oh, s**t, hmmmm, What was the name of your card? sometimes, even I can't understand this ... ( taking one step back from the table ) please turn the blue card ... ( the first card has changed to the second one! )
Please keep the secret with you.

ESP - mentalism routine
Have you ever heard about ESP? it's means Extrasensory perception. The term was adopted by Duke University psychologist J. B. Rhine to denote psychic abilities such as telepathy, clairaudience, and clairvoyance. ESP is also sometimes casually referred to as a sixth sense, gut instinct or hunch.
A simple set of cards was developed, originally called Zener cards, I have a set of them here, They bear the symbols circle, square, wavy lines, cross, and star. ( showing cards with those symbols )
Five red cards for you, we will see their faces later, and five blue cards for me.
We are going to do a little test in ESP, There are going to be two phases, the first one should tell me about the way you are thinking and I hope the second will be amazing.
Please just think, in your mind only, about one of this shapes ...
Are you thinking about the star? Really? great!
This simple shapes are containing a lot of psychological Information about human behavior, you cal tell about somebody that "he is a square" ; down to earth and sometimes even a nerd, some people always wants to be the stars or to be in somewhere else, far away. some people are easygoing like the wavy lines, some are living in a loop of life or they are just round people - Sociable and nice. the cross can represent faith or positive thinking...
Please shuffle your cards without seeing their faces. ( we are shuffling the cards )
And deal them in a row on the table.
Now I know a little bit about you ( I put one blue card on top of the red row )
I have committed to one symbol, please choose one card of yours, which one do you want to give me? ( the spectator gives me one red card )
I gave you the star, let's check yours ... also the star! brilliant, you have the ESP!
But I know what you are thinking, I never let you to see the faces of your cards, maybe all of them are the star ... right? you can check them ( the spectator flips all the cards and find out written on them that says : " Please choose the star! " )
Thanks you, you did a wonderful job!

What do I want to do after I will graduate my studies?
Tough question, first of all I feel that I need a break, to take an vacation, I really want to travel the world and to build a street magic show. I have a soft spot for street theatre.
Also I'm thinking about doing my masters abroad, maybe in Japan, I never been there but I feel connected to their state of mind, I want to absorb the japanese way of life. I love to cook ( and of course to eat ) Japanese food and they are just brilliant in design.
But n the end, I guess that I will work in an interactive design company (there is all the money) I hope to find myself in the art branding area. I'm also thinking about creating a lecture about "creative thinking", it will be a combination of design and magic, my two biggest loves.

"Are you thinking on/about the coin?"
Let's imagine that I ask someone to choose in his mind one object ( there are 3 on the table)
later I ask him:
------------------
"Are you thinking on the coin?"
OR
"Are you thinking about the coin?"
Which one do I need to use?

Graphic designer in the morning, Mind reader at night
About my self :
--------------------
My name is Tom, I'm 24 years old and a student at Bezalel academy of arts and design in Jerusalem, Israel. I study visual communication and specialize in branding and Interactive design ( User interface, mobile, web, etc )
Except design I'm also working as a kind of magician, I like to call it "mind Illusionist". basically it's a combination of magic and psychology, you can call it "Mentalism", it's like telepathy but I don't believe in mind reading, I think that we can know a lot about someone just from is body language, sometimes it looks like mind reading ....
nowadays I live alone in Jerusalem, in one room flat.
It's located in Musrara - beautiful and artistic area , city center & very close to the old town. I grew up in Tel-Aviv, beautiful city, almost out of the israeli context. it's really interesting to feel the different between those two cities.
I have two young sibling, I'm the oldest one. My brother is 18, he just finished art school ( he wants to be a theater director ) and before the army ( Yea, is israel we are obligated to serve in the army ) I got an exemption for the army because I have some health problem. But I volunteered and did one year and half of service as a graphic designer in the spokesperson department. It's was interesting, I learned a lot and got some experience in design, It's really helps me nowadays. my sister is 12, she is also study art (cinema and theatre).
My two parents are psychologists ( What's it makes me? ) My mom works as clinic psychologist and my father is psychiatrist and brain researcher.
