'My husband wants to start a "restaurant for magicians"': Woman tries to convince husband not to sink money into his new restaurant idea

This woman wonders if her magic-loving husband is about to do a disappearing act with all of their money. 

One woman took to Reddit to ask for advice on a really bizarre situation brewing between her, her husband, and his friend Chris. It's a doozy. She's been with her husband for 8 years, and they have two young kids together, supported only by his income. But now her husband is insisting on following his dreams, probably thanks to a new friend. 

Now, let's break this down a little, because by the title, you might think, "Well a restaurant full of magic tricks and magicians walking around sounds kind of fun! Dorky, but fun for a lot of people nevertheless." But wait! It's a restaurant for magicians who want to impress their dates with impromptu magic tricks. So the crowd they're aiming to please is magicians who are single and want to repeatedly take their first dates to the same place. Oh, and because the magicians are in on the tricks, the general public is not. So somehow, the restaurant will have to advertise its business model while never revealing it (???). It raises about 10,000 questions. 

It's a sort of cool idea, and on a night out with your friends, maybe that would impress a few inebriated bros. But in reality, unless you're a millionaire who's ready to lose tons of money (and not a dude with a wife and two kids), that idea is really not going to fly. Check out the full story below, plus advice from commenters who had a variety of ideas for u/davidcopperfield9273 to try out.
