Christmas has come and gone, not that Angela and I have had time to notice! We eventually moved house on the 14th December and are still sorting things out. At one time we doubted whether we would ever get to exchange contracts, and after completion our conveyancer told us that it was the worst house sale she had ever experienced. On the magic scene, we attended two Christmas parties. The first at Manchester circle of magicians where we were treated to a first class buffet and the following acts: Arthur Casson - easy style singing Brian Sefton - manipulation and dove act. The evening closed with Amethyst, where Danny Hunt and partner treated us to escapes from handcuffs, boxes and what can only be described as a giant milk churn. Once again an excellent Christmas bash. Leeds magical association switched their venue to Arthington village hall for the evening. Considering it was some way out of the centre of Leeds, it was well attended. Food and entertainment was provided by individual members. Our December meeting at Bradford was a big success. My thanks go to Ivan, the organiser and all the participants. A few sayings to ponder over. - How do you tell when you have run out of invisible ink?
- If it rains do sheep shrink?
- Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
- Why is abbreviation such a long word?
- Why isn't phonetic spelt the way it sounds?
- Why did Kamikaze pilots where crash helmets?
- Why does your nose run and your feet smell?
