You, Mr B., have too much time on your hands.


 
Once upon a time at Euston station, I was accosted by a couple of bods with
TV cameras, who decided I would make a good victim for some teenagers magic
trick. not exactly Paul Daniels and whether it ever got shown on TV I do not
know.

Indeed - I thought the 'question to seller', and subsequent response
was quite funny too.

Why though, would anyone PAY to be in a 'film' with Paul Daniels???

a hat out of a rabbit?

That's easy - sadly it's a secret passed down the many generations of
crap illusionists and cannot be disclosed...

I'm a member of the magic Circle - I'm actually a member of "The
Secret Six". It's soo secret, I don't know who the other five are.*

Many illusions are released into the public domain - it's done on
purpose a great deal of the time to try to bring new blood into the
craft.

....and what were you doing during maths class young boy?

Did you realise one in five of the worlds population is Chinese?

There's five people in my immediate family and I've been trying to
work out which one it is. I think I can rule out my mother, myself
and sister, that leaves Charlotte and my half brother-in-law; Liu Wan
Tseu.
