Magic Words: A Dictionary
From Our Twitter Outpost
"If David Lynch and Jorge Luis Borges created a book the result would be something very much like the writings of Craig Conley. As with those artists, Craig's work creates truly remarkable and subtle effects. His books are ones to dream with and learn from."
—Lawrence Hass, Ph.D., philosopher & magician

There is a magic effect with large safety pins called "Piff, Paff, Poof." At one time there was a gathering of magicians that happened on Lake Erie of the same name.
Thanks for sharing those great tidbits, Conjurer!
