A spectator is asked to select a card from the pack. You point out the angels on the back of their card as you patter about the spectators belief in angels: some people think angels are all around us, others do not believe in angels and cannot see them. The selection is placed on the table and isolated under the spectators hand. Next, a second spectator is also asked to pick a card. From this selection you make the angels magically and visually disappear, leaving only two weird blank spaces! Obviously this has happened all too quickly and the magician offers to do it again, but a bit slower this time. From other random selections, the angels also disappear! Each in a different way. But where did they go...Angels always travel together, you explain. The spectator is asked to remove his/her hand from their previously selected card, only to reveal that all the vanished angels have joined the angels on the back of the spectators card!!!A heavenly routine with a lot of magic, and the best part... Everything is examinable!!! Perfect for walk around magic, strolling, etc. Youll LOVE performing City of Angels.Comes complete with 5 custom printed gaffs on Bicycle stock and detailed instructions sheet with full color photos.

Cadwallon: City of Thieves is a fast-paced game of cunning thievery and ruthless skullduggery in a fantasy city steeped in magic and intrigue. Two to four players each control their own gang of four thieves competing to amass the greatest haul of loot from the many carefully locked chests scattered about the board. This is no friendly competition however and there is little loyalty among thieves in Cadwallon! The most successful players are as likely to claim their loot from the other gangs as they are to do the time-consuming legwork themselves. And always there is the Guild directing the gangs from the shadows and offering rich rewards to those who follow its will. But there is little time to waste; even the slow-witted militiamen will eventually raise the alarm... and woe be upon any thief who fails to creep away before the lawmen seal the district! Minimize

California's indie-folk heroes return, with either a really short album or a really long EP about love, longing, and geography. Handcrafted over five months and fifteen time zones, Indifferent Cities is a heady mixture of California sunshine, Vietnamese ngu ngon, and edgy Northwest pop. Speechwriters LLC was initially conceived as a cautious alliance between West Coast songwriters Dave Lowensohn and Misha Chellam, who quickly became inseparable and have spent most of the 21st century touring the country in borrowed minivans. They've won countless, meaningless awards, and once loaned Jay Farrar their amp. Indifferent Cities is their fourth "official" release since 2001, though they host hours and hours of live and studio recordings at speechwritersllc.com, all of which you can download for free.

Are you a Baby Boomer, child or grandchild of one? STUMP CITY will either jog your memories or give you better insights about life just after WWII and up to 1960. Imagine living without indoor plumbing, a television, or telephone in a time period where a general store sold just about everything you needed and Wal-Mart didn't exist.

The boy meets memorable characters or hears stories about them through his father or grandfather. He has great difficulty trying to figure out where babies come from and comes up with weird ideas about the baby delivery system. As the boy gets older, he becomes intrigued by a beautiful girl in his class. He is sure she could never like him. STUMP CITY will either have you smiling or about to cry as you turn from page to page. Minimize

Exposes the secret workings of Saddam Hussein's brutal police state from within Based on the true experience of one man's brutal interrogation, incarceration, and separation from his family One morning Mustafa Ali Noman, a teacher in Baghdad, is arrested as he reaches the school gates. For the next 15 months he is brutally interrogated, moved from prison to prison and barred from contacting his family; he witnesses countless scenes of torture. It becomes clear to Mustafa along his journey through the desert gulags that the question of guilt or innocence is irrelevant ... 'How do I know that I am not dreaming this?' he asks, as, under intolerable pressure, his grasp of reality begins to weaken. Mahmoud Saeed's devastating novel evokes the works of Kafka, Solzhenitsyn and Elie Wiesel. It is a vivid account of the wanton and brutal treatment of the Iraqi people by Saddam Hussein's feared secret police and of the arbitrariness of life under tyranny. Minimize

Meet Tim Bazzett, fifty years ago. This book is not so much a memoir as a rambling and luminous letter he is writing to his kids. In it he pays tribute and homage to his parents, to his teachers, and to Reed City, the town that shaped him. Mining his earliest memories, Bazzett tells of childhood scrapes, homemade toys, playing cowboys and "war" and even comes clean about an embarrassing feat of flatulence in a most unlikely place which became legend in family lore. He takes you along to Indian Lake, where he spent his summers swimming, and to Saturday matinees at the Reed Theater, where he learned homespun values from Gene and Roy. You'll meet the nuns who educated him at St. Philip's School, where he learned to dance and diagram. Early struggles with sex, sin and "Catholic guilt" are given their due, along with a short-lived religious vocation and a stint at the seminary. A "pseudo-farm kid," Bazzett tells too of his trials with cows, chickens, and picking pickles; and of lessons in "animal psychology" learned from his grandfather. His high school years are marred by pimples, dorkiness, and pining for the "popular" girls, but brightened by a few close friends and some minor successes on the basketball court. He loves some of his teachers, clashes with others, and even terrorizes one, as he fumbles his way toward manhood. It's all here - the work, the play, the frustrations and the joys of growing up working-class and Catholic in the heart of small-town America. Anyone who has been there will chuckle, remember and relate to Reed City Boy. Minimize

In his "Lives of the Artists", Vasari wrote: "While we may term other works paintings, those of Raphael are living things, the flesh palpitates, the breath comes and goes, every organ lives, life pulsates everywhere." In this extensively illustrated book featuring some 300 illustrations, the author takes a critical look at the life and work of Rafaello Sanzio, or as he signed certain paintings, Raphael Urbinas, in homage to his native city of Urbino. Described as "an artist touched by grace," he is considered, along with Michelangelo and Leonardo, to be one of the greatest painters of the Italian Renaissance. Raphael (1483-1520), whose birth and death were on a Good Friday, belonged to a family of merchants; aside from his training in the studio of Perugino, little is known about his earliest years. He arrived in Florence in 1504, where he studied the masters and produced magnificent paintings of the Madonna, as well as remarkable portraits. In 1508 he went to Rome, where he died a dozen years later at the height of his powers, after creating monumental works at the Vatican. De Vecchi re-examines the scholarship surrounding each of the major periods of Raphael's short career, dispelling the myths about him that have accumulated over the centuries. He reminds us that the most "profound" element of Raphael's art was his striving to express the dialectic between earthly and heavenly love, an important concern of his contemporaries. The coverage of the text extends beyond the paintings to Raphael's significant work as an architect and designer of interiors. Minimize
