| A bomb scare forced the evacuation of two Atlanta office buildings last Thursday. It seems that an amateur magician ordered a box of ‘novelty flash devices’ and a co-worker picket one up and ignited it. After the incident police and federal agents ordered about 75 people to leave the buildings for about two hours while they searched for other possible devices. Fulton County police say no charges will be filed.(1/12) Johnny Gaughan and Bill Smith are featured on “The Builders” episode of “Grand Illusions: The Story Of Magic” on the Canadian Discovery channel, Tuesday Jan. 12 at 9:30pm and again on Jan. 13 at 1:30am & 4:30am, Jan. 16 at 7:30pm and Jan. 17 at 3:30pm ET.(1/12) |
