Astound your family.

Is it magic?
Or just hocus-pocus?

If I buy this I'd have to hide inside my porno book when I leave the shop.
Or inside my Daily Mail...

The pub might be interesting on Saturday afternoon this week. At least one other punter will have read it. Better take an old deck for them to drop.

Let me show you a trick. I dont like that its always some gawd awfull thing Like the pink lady says "three burglars" no people dont say what do you do :

Pub chap "what do you do"
you "I am a builder"
pub chap "I know diy too , let me build you a wall"

I am master of misdirection, look over there.

We are not falling out young Welshy, we are debating, I think farlsy is an idiot he thinks I am one. We are just talking about who is the bigger idiot.

That was the first btrick I ever learned. It must have been around 1960 from an Elisdons magic book that had belonged to my dad in the 30's

I haven't done it for decades now....

Sorry, showing my age!

Do you know, I actually don't mind it when people do that. It's that blummin' 21-card trick that gets on my nerves. Especially when they get it wrong and insist on starting again. Makes me want to teach them "Poker Faced".

Mee and his lordship cant help it if we read decent papers. If you hit a rap scallion with one your left papers it just folds and goes limp wristed abit like its readers.

Now a good rag like the daily mail will defend you in times of need.

The day I start to grow a beard, eat museli, go to WOMAD and accept beheading people as "part of someone's culture" then I'll read the Guardian.
It's awfully hard being rich and well-educated. The poor little oi polloi get sooooo jealous. Pass the caviar Jeeves.....
