Those magical words...

It's been a long time. But tomorrow's the day! I don my cape and top hat to entertain 60 little kids at a German school in Singapore. Then again, I may not fit into the costume I once wore many many many years ago. :O)

The bigger issue is looking for the right magical words. I've always loved "Ala peanut butter sandwiches" from Sesame Street's Amazing Mumford. Then again, I don't know if there's any copyright issues. "Sim-sala-bim", "Alakazam" and "Hey presto" are just too common. Well, common at least in the magic circle. If you got ideas, throw it in...

Till I appear on stage tomorrow... Poof!

You know Dasher...

A new year has begun... a new year in the Church's calendar that is!! And in the air the smell of the season of giving! All around, shops are beautifully adorned with lights and trinkets. And YEAH... many would say the festive period has become somewhat commercialised, but that's just the marketing aspect of business.

It is still truly a time of giving!! Companies pay out bonuses, gifts are exchanged, works of charity are bountiful during this time of year. Many many years ago, I started making these during Christmas to hand out. This year, I saw them appear again, but together in ready-made packages with chenilles as antlers, googly eyes and a puffy nose! I decided to work over time at the Imaginative Factory to churn these out again to remind people of the spirit of the season - GIVING, FUN, and creativity! :O)
