Hi David-
I am a big fan of the Cups and Balls. I am working on a presentation that centers around the exploration of the overtly misogynistic symbols apparent in much of today's stage magic. Any ideas on what direction to take this? I love Brain Food and the presenetations are great. Do you do the Cups and Balls? I have a set of Ireland cups and the balls I purchased are to big for my hands. What size balls are best? Do you live in Chicago? I think I saw you last night at "Always Thai" but I was not sure if that was you. If it was let me know. Next time I will say "HI." Yours, Hendoo |

Where did you get that wonderful outfit? I'm guessing Dennison's Bogie Book, 1920? Am I right? You have impeccable taste; that's one of my favorites as well. I especially savored the articles on "How to Make a Large Pumpkin of Dennison's Crepe Paper" and "The Pumpkin is in Favor if Favors Are in the Pumpkin." I think I noticed an error on page nineteen, however. In the sentence that reads "To twist festoons, make a little point on the free end, moisten the thumb and forefinger of the right hand, then, holding the pointed end between thumb and forefinger, twirl the festoon" I believe they meant to say "To twist festoons, make a little point [opposite] the free end, moisten the thumb and forefinger of the right hand, then, holding the pointed end between thumb and forefinger, twirl the festoon." It makes one wonder how many unfortunate readers in 1920 spoiled their Hallowe'en festivities with poorly twirled festoons!
