Thanks Gary - more wonderful stuff! The Magic Cauldron is great as usual. Note that the "CAMAS Soiree Program" link did not work for me. Also, there is no link for the "Magic Castle brochure" or the "optical illusion placemat." Is this correct?

The Anderson letter was quite gloomy. It makes me think about how many of the past greats also fell into difficulty after stellar careers. Gloomy - but nonetheless interesting.

Keep up the great work!
