Intro

I'm Brandon Sneed. I wrote the book The Edge of Legend, I'm a journalist for GQ, ESPN The Magazine, and ESPN.com, and I edit HeyGoodCall.com

I live for great stories—finding them, telling them, living them. This is a running log of all that. It's a great life. (Read this, my short take on why stories are all that matter.)

Liu the Invisibility Ninja

Everyone who can find the person in this picture gets 1,000 points. Leave a comment when you find him. You could totally cheat and just look in the comments first. But then you would be totally lame. 

Turns out this was taken during a foiled attempt at thievery. The culprit: a ninja from China known as Liu. He's been wanted for using his superpowers for evil. This was his most ambitious attempt yet. Other newly-released photo evidence of his past invisible antics—and his getting caught!—(after the break) reveals that he's also been ... shall we say, perfecting ... his craft by:

Sneaking into movie theaters.

Bulldozing things as the "Ghost 'Dozer." 

Standing in front of art. Presumably casing the location. 

Sitting in streets. Likely planning his getaway route.

Hiding in supermarkets. 

Overlooking scenic views. Okay, this actually isn't so sketchy, but it's cool-looking. 

He tried to escape by hiding in some nearby woods.

But officials grabbed him in a white building not long later. 

Just kidding.

It's all the artwork of Chinese artist Liu Bolin. He's brilliant, apparently. And I'm his newest fan.
