Howdy folks--

My day job is journalist, and I just did a cover story about magic for the weekly newspaper I work for. It's for the non-magician, but I hope you'll enjoy the quotes of Cody Fisher and Harry Lorayne, who were kind enough to serve as interviewees.

(You may need to cut and paste this very long URL)

I must add that both Fisher and Lorayne struck me as absolute gentlemen, and both were kind enough to pass on some welcome and (not surprisingly) astute advice to me as a newcomer, though I couldn't really include those things in the story.

Enjoy!

I'd love to read what the h*** said(!), but when I click the Link I get a "Sorry, this page cannot be found" message. What am I doing wrong? HL

You said a lot of good stuff, and I got in as much as would fit-- hope you enjoy the results! I think the link above is just too long somehow, but you can also click the address below and then click the story, which is called Conjuring in the Orchard:

There is a tutorial somewhere on this website on how to take the name of a really long url and condense it down into something far more manageable for viewing. Check the FAQ section. If you can't find the answer there, there is a tech support forum up near the top.
