I'm divided on the method, so I have to swap one of my ideas for another.

And if the routine seems too perfect, it's only because there are edits.

Re: Marketing a character

Magicians are entertainers, not actors.
Actors work in service of the script and the director--they are not there to entertain you.
Magicians are no different than singers, dancers, and novelty acts.

Re: Being a Woman in Magic

The fault I find with the article is that it makes it seem as if there are so few women doing magic, when in fact it certainly seems as if there are more women doing magic than ever before, most of whom (in fact the best of whom) are not even mentioned.

Re: Ibidem #20

My guess is that issue 20 by happinstance comprises a complete signature of either 16 or 32 pages. Sometimes, since the signatures are collated mechanically, one can get skipped by accident. You should contact Stephen Minch to see if there are any remaining copies since yours is defective.
