This VIDEO is yet another good example of why it is called magic.

On one of the cruises that we took the Plant Pixie and I were chosen by a magician to be his "subjects". I think that I may have posted the story about this before He had us sit at a rectangular table and stood between us. The audience was about ten feet away off of the round dance floor and where gathered pretty much in a about a two hundred degree semi-circle around the performer. To this day I have NO IDEA how he did some of the things that he did and we were less than two feet from his hands on either side of him.

We also had the opportunity to see Sigfield & Roy perform in Las Vegas and I still have no idea how they shot the tiger out of the cannon and into the cage hanging over the audience that could be viewed from all sides. Although, when they performed the disappearing elephant trick on stage it was apparent because of the lighting that this was done with a curtain. With that stated I still do not understand how they got the tiger in the cage hung over the audience.

Magic is all about the art of distraction. That's why you are surprised.

I think that this VIDEO IS cool!

What was the person that shot her "thinking"?

I understand the concept of "distraction" and misdirection but, on the cruise when the magician's hands were less than two feet from my face I was focusing only on his hands. I still do not know how he did what he did.

I found it interesting that the music in the background was Joy fromGeorge Winston's December album.
small world.

So several questions come to mind;

1.) was this a rental unit?
2.) was the phrase "ney bubba, here hold my beer." used anywhere in this?
3.) was the phrase " honey, there is no way you get through that with this.

feel free to skip through the middle.

What was he thinking?

Reminded me of the Robin Williams movie RV.

After watching this VIDEO about a Volvo owner that has just under three million miles on his car I have a couple of questions. It is pretty cool that he has put that many miles on this car. I wonder what his "cost of ownership" is? And whether he has it insured for some value that he puts on it?

Have you ever noticed that the farther south one drives that the Waffle House signs get higher and higher?

After watching the interview with Mr. Gordon is there little doubt that he likes to eat at Waffle House restaurants (I use the latter term loosely)?
