well kids...how are ya? Shout out to steve c. and aaron...hope you have fun reading this.

Today I paid my friends the Bowens a visit. T'was great fun. My friend Lisa is living with them right now, so it was cool to see her too. And of course, the family dog Wylie. He's a friendly one. He's got a red fur coat...natural, of course.

We were watching this show..."revealing the tricks of magic" oooooo....ladifreakin'da. It was so ridiculous. The announcer guy's voice was so annoying...AND, here's the trick that got us to turn it off. They had this HUGE truck inside a fence (in the studio)...some "strangers" came and stood around the fence, a silk curtain dropped over it...the magician did some gyrating, and it all disappeared. WOAH! Really, a bunch of stage hands just wheeled the whole thing offstage...which leads me to ask this question. If a magic trick can ONLY be performed on TV (like this one)...why bother performing it at all? I mean, why go to all the trouble of setting up the truck and the fence and rehearse pulling it offstage...if it can't be done in real life? It's just being done for tv...why waste all that money, paying the "strangers"...why not just film the truck....stop taping, get rid of it, then film it being gone....
Gah. Stupid tv magic. Give me a good card trick anyday.
