Per your mention of practicing sleights to the fellow in South Africa,
HERE HERE!!! (Hearty round of applause).

Too many magicians rely on gimmicks and self working tricks to accomplish
miracles.  Although these items do have a time and place (and I have a
large suitcase full of gimmicks), perveyors of the art can perform
true miracles using ONLY sleight of hand.

Although one of my favorite walk-around routines is with the BRAINWAVE
deck, which uses the rough-smooth principle.  ;-|

Anyway, good advice.  Thanks.

Well, the subject line says it all.

I have found a card effect in Ted Annemann's "Annemann's card magic"
("Twentieth century cards", p103 for those who have the book) which requires
treating a card with diachylon in several spots.

This will allow another card to stick to it until the time you want to
remove it.  The second card will come loose easily with (I assume) no traces
of the diachylon on it.

I have asked for this substance at local pharmacies and hobby shops, and
nobody seems to know what it is.

Does anyone know a more "common" name for diachylon?  Or can anyone
recommend a similar glu-ish substance?  The type of glue used on the
post-it notes would probably be ideal.

Thanx a lot.

Well...I hope you're talking about the originator ... ;^)

I spoke to a friend in Mass. who copntacted MUFON. They told
him that they do not know of this Michael Younger spoken of in
the chain letter and that they did not know of any UFO
conference in San Diego; though they did say that there could
have been one they just did not know of it...and they kept the
letter on file for .. I assume.. further investigation.

Replace 'hunters' with farmers, ranchers and human habitation and you

Famine weakens the herd.  It leaves ALL the members open to the ravages
of disease.   Not only do the weakest starve but also the young and
some of the strong.  Famine is random destruction.

Wolves are shy and a pack will not stay close to human habitation.
Deer can live all their lives in a 1/4 square mile wood lot.
What predators?

Most hunters take what they can get and don't get many chances to
see a trophy animal let alone pass up 'weaker' deer to get one.

Our hunt camp maintains over 1000 acres of woodlands that will forever
be woodlands.  My father owns an additional 500 acres of woodlands.
When we finish paying off our house we intend to buy additional
woodland.   We would be hard pressed to justify this cost if it
was only so we could hunt.  What are you doing?

   THINK!!  USE YOUR BRAIN!!!!

     This "who cares if the ozone is thinner over the poles" crap just does
not cut it in any book.  ANYONE who has ever studied remote sensing knows 
that most of the food (plankton) in the oceans is produced at the poles!
UV radiation could potentially be very harmful to these creatures.

     On top of this, thinning at the poles causes thinning everywhere else.
It's like digging a hole in water.  It just fills back up, but you have less water than before.  The ozone is thinning AROUND THE ENTIRE PLANET!!

     Bring on the flames Birch-bozos, cause I could care less about your
idiotic psuedo-scientific ranting.  HUMAN activity is the cause of this
problem.

As I understand it, Smith and Young were made Masons when the
Church of the Latter Day Saints settled at Nauvoo (in either Indiana
or Illinois, I forget which but I think it was the latter).
It is said that much of the church ritual was then adapted from
Freemasonry, with many of the Mormons becoming Masons. The Freemasons
eventually declared the Mormon lodges to be clandestine, which in
Masonic parlance means it was no longer officially considered to be
part of Freemasonic organization. This was done as it was felt that
the Mormons had changed the Freemasonic rituals to a significant
degree. Not long after, and for completely unrelated reasons, the
Mormons soon had to flee, eventually making their way to Utah.

Just for clarification- most of what I've written is from what I
remember of an article on Masonry and the Mormons written
in the "Little Masonic Library"- a set of volumes available at
the B.U. library. I'm sure other libraries have it. It's just
that it's been a while since I've seen it.

Well, I just read it this morning, by chance... but it's not quite what you
describe. It's an article on what Bush's second-term agenda is, which the
author explains has more to do with "free trade" agreements that push the
interests of international corporations over labor and consumer and
environmental interests worldwide than with any specific "domestic agenda."
The one-world government is just GATT, not really a one-world government, but
with substantial power over elected legislative bodies to unravel "technical
restrictions" to trade, like limits on carcinogenic pesticide levels.

It's not really a conspiracy theory, and Bush doesn't get to be King at the
end .... sorry!!

Damn good article, though. An excerpt:

	"So here is Bushism, the Vision Thing: an economically polarized
	 society with a powerful executive and a wealk Congress. Regulations
	 of all kinds will be lax: factories will be dangerous and their waste

on Television as a brainwashing tool, appearing originally in
Lyndon LaRouche's paper, The New Federalist. However, he is
quite skeptical of the portions of the material dealing with
the Tavistock Institute, and its alleged role as a brainwashing
control center under the auspices of the British oligarchy. To
help clarify matters, I am posting lengthy excerpts from the
1980 pamphlet "Stamp Out the Aquarian Conspiracy", which contained

I wouldn't dismiss the World Government potential of such an arrangement out
of hand. A bureaucracy with powers whose limits are ill-defined, under the
leadership of unscrupulous individuals way well end up seizing a level of 
authority which would shock those who imagined they had given it a far
narrower mandate. I would recommend as examples one from fiction and one 
from history. The first is Rudyard Kipling's story titled either "Easy as
ABC" or "With the Night Mail" (sorry I don't recollect which is which). He
depicts a brutal dictatorship exercised by the Aerial Board of Control
whose only official mandate was to preve*t interference with the traffic
"... AND ALL THAT IMPLIES". The historical example of the loophole the
bureaucrats drove a Sherman tank through is of course the "interstate 
commerce" clause in the U.S. Constitution.

Please, call the whining Republicans "Republicans". Conservative approach
to the way things should be run is a philosophy not an affiliation with
the bumbling idiots (who by the way ARE NOT conservatives) who have defrauded
their way into the White House (I wonder if lying to the people to get
elected is an impeachable offense). True blue conservatives would not dream
of legislating morality, having the government tell people what they can 
see, hear or do with their bodies. I find Clinton (with all his faults) a
far more conservative choice for President than Bush. Bush should be ashamed
stealing "conservative" label for himself. Bush is a plasticied, unprincipled,
unthinking, societal parasite on the body of the Republican party and the 
United States. Bush is also dangerous, his machiavellian approaches to
suppression of dessent within the Republican party could very well spill
over into the general politics. Republicans HAVE to loose this election
for two reasons: we need to rebuild the country, they(republicans) need to
rebuild the republican party. "True party of True God" has no place in
either US or within the Republican party.

It is very sad to see that the Republican Party has been gutted into
a frail shell which was held up by Communist threat. No more communist
threat, no more Republican party. They collapsed as fast, or faster than
the Soviet Union. To think of it, the party was originally based on
conservative principles, now it is ruled by idiots, religious zealots
and small-time, faceless functionaries like Bush.
