as the sun sets..........

Well, here I sit after a nice dinner, reflecting on the day. Looks like all is well on the home front. I had a pretty slow day to again, hoping work will pick up. The presses are staying busy, but man the prepress side is about dead.
On the magic front, let's talk trash, and roumors first. Looks like Penguin has their site working again, but with no forums, some 48 hours. On the down side other magic sites are getting hit with the virus. Luckily the good ole SpookClub is clicking along just fine. There is a report that Derren Browns site has gotten hit, but I haven't verified that report. I hope this person, whoever they are, would lay off the hacking. I wouldn't wish this kind of confusion on my worst enemy. Well, O.K. maybe I would, but not to do damage, just as an inconvenience. There have been some rumblings on another site about Waynos logo for the SpookClub, I have a sneaky suspicion that a competing online magic shop is behind that little rumbling. I have seen a few posts that add up to as much. Either way, I hope he gets things sorted out so as to avoid any issues.
On a different subject, I am anxiously awaiting my secret santa from the SpookClub. That is another great thing about the SpookClub, It honestly is like a group of great people with a common interest. Nine of us participated in a secret Santa gift swap, and it is really neat. I am looking forward to seeing what my secret santa chose for me.
With christmas coming up, for some reason I am really wanting an ipod. That is one neat toy, I would get a ton of use out of, but I just can't bring myself to spend that kind of money on just one toy. I just built a new computer, and had to put a set of tires on my car, and especially when I haven't gotten a straight jacket yet, much less chains for escapes I plan on.
My hundred foot rope escape is a good deal, but I think a chain escape would have more impact. I am looking forward to doing a buried alive stunt, I am trying to get everything planned out so it will go as planned. The one thing that would make it a little more impressive would be an entourage of people, to make it bigger. This is something I think can be done and be pretty impressive. Here is what I want to get going; To be buried 6 foot under wet cement in a casket, the casket will be strong enough to withstand the cement, I don't have a deathwish. Stay buried for 48 hours the first time. then as I work out the kinks up to a week then, maybe two weeks. A convincing stunt would be to be buried long enough that grass is actually grown in the soil which covers me. This would be pretty strong, and there are a few ideas I have for adding a little drama to it. This would be great publicity for a grand opening for a store, that's what I would like to see, or even after being buried, have another magi, perform a show right after, being buried, then right before being dug up.................Man the ideas are swirling right now.
Well, I am going to draw some more sketches. remember, Hapiness ia a shell that doesn't talk.

If this all comes together I want to know about it and hope I could get there for your support. Hope the planning goes well.
