I use to tell my students "It's the nearest you will get to magic".
I still see the magic, a perfect description........... be it developing film or making prints.This is great to hear! I’m so glad a new generation is discovering the magic, because that’s what made the experience so amazing to me. It still feels that way.
...Sal must have been really fun when this song started playing on the radio...
...most prefer "Magician,"...
How about gender neutral.
How do you feel about frilly toothpicks?
Even in 1967 (I was a teenager and regular watcher of the Ed Sullivan Show), I knew "magic" wasn't real and that those who performed it used scientific principles to dupe their audiences. As for The Lovin' Spoonful, when acts like that came on I took the opportunity to use the bathroom and/or get some munchies from the kitchen. My preferences even then were for performances of bossa nova and jazz rather than the then-popular "music." Time spent on the high school bus, where rock blared continuously, triggered my allergy to it. It also motivated my abandoning the bus for the last two years and walking back and forth to school -- two miles away -- despite winter weather.
Of course they do. Why would they advertise to their audiences that what they're doing is illusion based on science? P.T. Barnum's dictum is why they earn a living; truthfulness would kill the golden goose.
Non sequitur
You're not part of the club.
That is ok, I would not want to be in a club that you belong to.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster has no gender.

Contrary to the general positive tone of the article, I do like this quote from the 2nd paragraph: "Before we get further into this trending, overpriced, understocked novelty medium..."

Were you living in San Clemente in the 1980s? If so, what's your opinion of that great basketball player Earvin "Science" Johnson? He was pretty good.

I’m wondering how rough that winter walk to school was in sunny southern california san clemente. It can be brutal walking in 65 degree weather.
Thanks for the King Size laugh
Been watching a lot of Larry Bird videos lately............. Magic was a big part of Bird, of course

"Before we get further into this trending, overpriced, understocked novelty medium..." sounds like a journalist crying in his beer just begging to find something to be negative about. Eeyore, how long did it take for you to dig to find someone who believes in your sad sack view?The Flying Spaghetti Monster has no gender.

Well, there is some topography down there...maybe it was uphill both ways.

Not to mention the possible mudslides...
So you made up your mind?
They were probably relying on the Realtor's promise that it would never possibly happen--at least not to them. People today generally lack the ability to think critically.Perhaps they were relying on "magic" for protection.
