It's not doing a lot for those of us who are supposed to be 100% fluent in English either! :roll:

I didn't want to de-rail the thread like this, sorry. I was attempting to maintain the "spirit" of the thread and use more magic trivia then just "Googleing" skills


Okies, onto the Riddle:
Leaves change to majestic crimson= Autumn (Leaves change color)

as the light of dawn witness her rise=Morning

to a brilliant point in the sky=Star

Autumn Morning Star

Right...

I would like a picture of a magician whose career fills the following criteria:

1. Has links with stand up comedy
2. He has links to an Attic
3. At some point in his chequered past, his name is an anagram of SUB SCORPIO

Picture PREFERABLY relating strongly to Criteria 3.

Very easy for a Monday Afternoon :)

Bananafish,

I've had a little difficulty posting pictures here.
Without wanting to sound too daft, could you PM me the difference, and how to get pictures to display in the message, rather than just a link.

Many thanks,
