Funny Magic Lingo...

Postby TheAlkhemist07 » Jan 25th, '08, 18:42



I'm working my way thru MCM and have reached the sleeving section (using a study guide btw.)

Just thought tho that

"Delayed Action Sleeving"

is such a funny term.

Any other good ones out there or can no-one trump D.A.S?

Three I can think of that are sleightly amusing are:

1. Finger Roll- Small edible piece of bread.

2. Goshman Pinch- a.k.a. Irritable Knickers Syndrome

3. Gallo Pitch- Advertisement for Wine

(Note: Gallo is a famous brand of wine, here in the States)

This is a nice little collection and is also relevant to the innuendo thread...

It's rather popular here in the UK as well!

Of course, the word 'vanish' is only a verb in magic, nobody else 'vanishes' things, they might make them disappear but 'vanishing' always throws a wobbly in spell checkers. Most satisfying!
