Unexpected Wonders: Back Again

http://unexpectedwonders.blogspot.com/2007/11/back-again.html

Friday, November 9, 2007. Well, I've been busy busy busy (seriously, not just busy busy but x3) but now that things have settled down a bit (and they're letting me out nights and weekends) maybe I can devote some time to this project. Look for some new posts coming up shortly. Posted by Jim Coles. Good to hear Jim. I'm always looking forward to what you have to say. November 9, 2007 at 7:18 PM. November 10, 2007 at 10:24 AM.

Unexpected Wonders: Considering Presentation

http://unexpectedwonders.blogspot.com/2007/11/considering-presentation.html

Saturday, November 10, 2007. In an earlier post I observed that a new magician who’s decided to create a character can be a frightening thing. Another kind of magician who can be equally frightening, or mind numbingly boring, is the one who’s decided he needs to focus on presentation in his magic. Well, it seems that some, even some dispensing the advice, don’t seem really clear on just what presentation is. While you might be momentarily impressed by such a display of digital dexterity, that would proba...

Unexpected Wonders: October 2007

http://unexpectedwonders.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html

Wednesday, October 31, 2007. So we remember, and tip our hats to the greatest magician of all time. For if a magician is defined as one who creates mystery, there’s no doubt he was the greatest. The fascination continues. See you next time. Posted by Jim Coles. Tuesday, October 30, 2007. Because people were pissed and telling the truth? Very Kafkaesque kind of site. However you get the sense that people are already forgiving the guy and are ready to move on. So I guess the moral is if you want to mak...

Unexpected Wonders: November 2007

http://unexpectedwonders.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html

Wednesday, November 14, 2007. Please visit the Unexpected Wonders blog at its new home: http:/ www.unexpectedwonders.com. Posted by Jim Coles. Tuesday, November 13, 2007. Well, I wasn’t abducted by inbred hillbilly psychos. Turns out they were really a bunch of cub scouts trying to help me up after I’d fallen – stupid alcohol diet. Actually I didn’t even make it to the woods…just some guy’s really overgrown yard. Oh well, maybe next year. No, I don’t think it would be worth a damn. It’s i...Andster think...

Unexpected Wonders: A New Venue For Magicians?

http://unexpectedwonders.blogspot.com/2007/11/new-venue-for-magicians.html

Sunday, November 11, 2007. A New Venue For Magicians? Anyhoo, I realized immediately that all through the woods there’ll be great numbers of unshaven, mostly inebriated men, toting rifles and looking to kill something. I put two and two together and thought: What a wonderful group to try my magic on! I know what you’re thinking: Why didn’t I think of that? It’s sure to be a win win situation. I just need to be sure to wear my new brown jacket and white cap – they’re very striking. I mean, I could be intr...

Unexpected Wonders: August 2007

http://unexpectedwonders.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html

Friday, August 31, 2007. I happened to be channel surfing the other night when I came across a show on VH1 called The Pick Up Artist. From what I watched of the show, it seemed kind of silly, as quite a lot of reality TV strikes me. The premise here is some nerdy guys are taught how to pick up women by an expert pick up artist, a guy called Mystery. You’ve no doubt heard the expression, “Enthusiasm is contagious.” It really is. I remember in college having to attend an algebra c...By simply being enthusi...

Unexpected Wonders: Strange Days Indeed

http://unexpectedwonders.blogspot.com/2007/10/strange-days-indeed.html

Tuesday, October 30, 2007. I’ve been out of town the last couple of weeks – just returned yesterday. While I was away I purposely stayed away from the Internet as I’ve found that without the occasional break from it you risk serious brain melt. Actually I stayed away from television too, so you might imagine my surprise when I was flipping through channels last night and learned that David Copperfield stands accused of rape. Because people were pissed and telling the truth? Very Kafkaesque kind of site.

Unexpected Wonders: Phenomenon?

http://unexpectedwonders.blogspot.com/2007/11/phenomenon.html

Tuesday, November 13, 2007. Well, I wasn’t abducted by inbred hillbilly psychos. Turns out they were really a bunch of cub scouts trying to help me up after I’d fallen – stupid alcohol diet. Actually I didn’t even make it to the woods…just some guy’s really overgrown yard. Oh well, maybe next year. At I, Magician and it got me thinking – or sort of thinking, anyway. Hard to form really coherent thoughts when you have a Shi tzu hanging from your hand. Andster thinks Gerry will probably win or would like t...
