This is an exceedingly amusing little short story about a technosage who uses technology to convince people he knows magic.  Of course, the tables get turned on him when someone demands the only spell he can't give:  Love.  Our hero then finds himself on the other side of his own style of "magic," and has to use his wits to scramble out.  It all works out in the end in an amusing and thoroughly satisfying manner.  It feels in some ways like a zany and hilarious '80s movie.  I'm a big fan of author James Chalk!
