Heh..after watching lots of TV specials, reading various books, and
talking to a few friends who are into that sorta thing, I've come to
the conclusion to be a magician you need 3 things.
1) An attractive flexible female
2) A set of twins who are flexible and attractive.
3) To be fairly dextrous, and have a good stage prescense. :)
With real "magic" this would get even easier. :)
