Grand Delusions by Morgan:

The cartoon above was drawn by Morgan and originally submitted to M A G I C. They rejected it — I thought it was hysterical and so did Jeff McBride so here it is in color. By the way, for all the readers of M A G I C who see Morgan’s monthly cartoons and were wondering what she looks like, here is an exclusive photo. I hope to have other “Grand Delusions by Morgan” in future columns.

Tricks Of His Trade:

If you saw Harry Anderson’s new magic TV special the other day you may have noticed the bill change he used to open his show. It’s the same routine he used to open the stage show at the World Magic Summit last week. On Tuesday the 28th Anderson did 26 TV interviews (mostly live) to promote the special. The interviews were done by satellite and were completed in two hours! The only trick he used on these interviews was his new handling for the flash bill transformation. It is quick, easy, and resets in seconds.

If the above sounds like an ad, maybe it is. The good news is that Anderson has agreed to release this terrific new item to the magic fraternity. In a few months I will be producing this great item. Keep reading this column and you will be the first to find out about it.
