Anybody know whose hands those are doing the card stuff.

I remember when both songs came out when I was a kid. My old man would listen to them on the radio while driving me to hockey practice. 80s definately were a great time. At least, that is when I heard both of these songs played on the radio on a regular basis as a kid in the 80s going to hockey practice. I think some ways, the older times had better creativity.

I remember reading about this family in Canada who decided to go back to living in the 80s for one year. They got rid of modern technology and only had technology that was available in the 80s in their home. They had closer family relationship and their children became more creative after living that way for one year. Wow! What a concept! People, family, friendship and loyalty were the things that really mattered they discovered. Isn't that something huh? Something that does not seem as strong today as it once was back then. An interesting experiment to read about.

I've been touching a lot of people's lives just through the people that I've met, when people see me and the way I look," McMillan said. "They will stop to take pictures of me, and then I can talk to them. They think what we're doing is really cool."

The social experiment is part of a documentary film project that McMillan is undertaking, one that is not without some dependency on contemporary technology. He is currently looking for a film-maker to take over the project, and perhaps a writer to chronicle the experience.

"We're in the middle of the documentary now," he said. "It's about reconnecting, and basically disconnecting from technology to reconnect with friends and family."

If you want to visit the family you'll have to leave your cellular telephone in the "cellphone box" inside the door and agree to participate in a slice of 1986 life. Inside the house a "ghetto blaster" plays cassette tapes. There is a 1980s television set in a wooden cabinet. Furnishings are very sparse and very 80s.

"When you walk into my house I want you to feel like you're walking into the late-80s," he said.

The effort, which is to last for one year, has not been without some strain on relationships. McMillan and his girlfriend are much more difficult to contact, so friends have been inconvenienced. Some won't come to visit because they are unwilling to give up their cellular devices at the door.

"I'm living in a bubble," he said. "It's very strange. And it's not easy."

"Long may magicians fascinate and continue to be fascinated by the mystery potential in a pack of cards." ~Cliff Green "The greatest tricks ever performed are not done at all. The audience simply think they see them." ~ John Northern Hilliard
