Is that what fruitarian means to you? It's not what it means to me.

Welcome to TM.

Hello Mattdini,

It is nice to meet you. Thank you for your welcome.

Oh, and hey Marvell, you make me giggle.

Love,

Amanda Angeli

Welcome to Talk Magic - your act sounds fascinating and very original.

Hello Bananafish,

Thank you, Bananafish, that is very kind of you to welcome me and also to say that about my act. I just love your name, by the way.

Love,

Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to say that in the Miscellaneous section I posted my Vintage Base Ball Act. Now of course, I'm sure that most of you are probably thinking, oh my gosh, Amanda, how totally dull could that be, unless there's free hotdogs and beer with the show. And, hmm, maybe that's not a bad idea.

At any rate, I just wanted to let you all know it was there mostly because it shares a bit more about how I do my magic in case any of you were interested in my odd little world of Surfer Girl Magic. I thought of putting that Base Ball act in my Introduction section here, but since it was a whole act, I pitched it (underhand, of course, for that was the style in the 19th century) over there.

I hope you all are having a totally bodacious day. As for me, it's sunny outside so I'm going outdoors for some magic styled batting practice.

I wonder if I can figure out how to make a batted ball disappear in mid flight. Hmm.

Love,

Amanda Angeli

Hello Everyone,

You know, life is funny. When I initially wrote this introduction and called it Wildly Dancing on the Moors, I had no idea at that time that today I'd be planning an Illusion of jumping over a truck. I just knew I had to call it that.

So, you put the truck in the Moor, you think of a leap as a sort of wild dance and maybe I'm a bit more of a Mentalist than I might have thought for what is the Truck Illusion other than a prediction of the future back when I first wrote my introduction.

Perhaps I'm spending too much time in my gypsy vardo?

Love,

Amanda Angeli

I have an image of you tied to a tree now :)

Oddly, I personally see a lunatic asylum in the middle of a forest.

Hello Seige,

So, if there were Lunatic Asylums deep in the forest, would they have green straight jackets or red ones? I mean, assessorzing is so important, don't you think?

And what is an Escape Artist without at least the latest seasons straight jacket. It's so off-season for a white one, you know, you never wear white after Spring for goodness sake.

Well, okay, maybe you English wear white year around but here in the Colonies, oh goodness, a girl has to think of such things.

By the way, this is sort of a light-hearted way of asking if anybody knows of colored straight jackets. Of course we all know of white ones and there are brown ones but what about fun colors? Pink would be so me!!!

Love,

Amanda Angeli

Dye one.

Yes oh yes, dye would work. I'll get some Ritt, they have a wonderful shade of pink.

Love,

Amanda Angeli

A girl after my own heart

I didn't envisage yourself m'dear, it was merely my immediate vivid mental rendition spurned by the chaotic and disjointed nature of the conversation so far.

And incidentally, straight-jackets come in all shades of white... ranging from vivid-white to cappucino coloured—depending on how long you wear it.

“Physics is imagination in a straight jacket.”
(John Moffat said that!)

The jacket used by Scott Creasey (he of B.I.P. fame) is white/off white with splashes of brown/black where it got burned during an over enthusiastic escape whilst suspended from a burning rope. Somebody forgot to wring the fuel soaked rope covering out to minimise the falling bits of burning cloth!

D'oh!

There's a straightjacket on display in a chum's parent's house (too many apostrophes?)—who is a bit of a military-stuff collector. It's a horrible looking thing, and is stained around the 'bib' area with what looks like blood, but is apparently more likely to be food.

Which once got me to thinking—'nutjobs' who are resigned to straightjackets for mental health reasons... how do they eat? wee? poo? sleep?

I fell asleep wrongly on my arm the other night, and woke up thinking I'd had a stroke.

Surely, putting someone in a straightjacket would make them go even nuttier?

Orrible!

Hello Seige,

I don't understand what you mean? As for the straight jackets coloring with use, you are very funny.

Love,
