Yikes!

I once witnessed a 'performance' where the performer had a table and a number of decks sitting on it. He would have the victi... participant point to a deck and he'd do the trick that deck was set for.

Where have I been?

Been too long since I’ve been here. Short excuse; My disabilities have increased and I’m mostly a wheelchair guy now. Leaves me bored, and makes me slower than ever. Gripe, grumble, complain. Right?

Memories

A discussion on the Genii forum sparked a memory: I attended the very first lecture Bill Malone ever did. I still have the notes, entitled "Who Is Joe Dudek?". He wasn't sure he was a good enough lecturer to have his real name on the notes.

Spoiler alert: he was far more than good enough.
