		<title>Breaking News . . . and, a Return to Life!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As many have noted to me in a host of very charitable e-mail messages, I have not been active in posting to this very popular site for a few months now. Life gets in the way of obligations sometimes. The busy season of the year for entertainers came and went followed by the slowest time [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Amazing Storyboard</title>
		<description><![CDATA[. . . and what it can do for you.
The subtitle there says it all. What can a storyboard do for you? I feel as if I am a pitchman selling snake oil at the moment and it may seem like that to you for now, but by the end of this article, you should [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hot News!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The popularity of this site has amazed me. In the past two weeks alone, there have been over 1000 hits to the site and the comments to me in e-mail have been overwhelmingly positive. So, in keeping with my altruistic desire to improve the craft of magic which we practice, I am increasing the level [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tiger, Tiger, Before You Begin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It doesn&#8217;t take a wise man to tell you that everything has a beginning in this life. Even the tallest buidlings start out as a scrape in the dirt with a shovel. Thousands of hours later and perhaps a billion dollars later, a massive building ready to take on its assigned tasks and open its [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tiger, Tiger &#8211; Part Two</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, I wrote about how crafting words can influence the minds of observers. In the case of the poem, The Tiger, by William Blake, the reader has an image based solely on the words of the poet. We as performers have an advantage as we set the stage ourselves for our imagery. We do our [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tiger, Tiger . . .</title>
		<description><![CDATA[William Blake&#8217;s immortal poem is a powerful example of how words can paint a picture that is undeniably real in the mind of the reader or listener. It opens like this.
The Tiger &#8211; By William Blake
Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry
The ruddy orange of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Magnetic Madness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Is there any doubt as to the importance of cell phones (called mobile phones here in Australia) to the average human being? I can safely say that now as more than half of the world population is able to at least own a phone. For the record, there are more mobile phones here in Australia [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gray Elephant Telemarketer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I received a phone call on my home line just now. We never get business calls on that line. The person on the other end asked for the business owner. I replied, &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry but the business owner has died.&#8221; The rest of the call went like this:
Caller: &#8220;Oh, I&#8217;m sorry to hear that. Perhaps [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chalk It Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When is the last time you saw anyone use chalk in their daily life? Even school teachers are using whiteboard markers and dry erase pens today. Young children only know what it is because they still use it on sidewalks to play hopscotch or other games. How do we as magicians or mentalists justify the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rolling Your Own</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whether to buy or create has always been the choice we have regarding performing magic. It&#8217;s easy to browse the catalogs dreaming of what each effect would look like if we were the performer instead of that guy holding the prop in the picture. When it comes in the mail delivered to us, it becomes [...]]]></description>
