This afternoon I'll be at UCLA pretending to be a "street" magician. One of the dorms is having a Social for the incoming freshmen, with a "Boardwalk" theme, and they've hired me to perform for three hours.

It's a bit artificial, I admit, but it should be a lot of fun.

(Raptor, Mark, TH, and all you other Trojans: don't worry, I may even manage to help some of these impressionable youths to see the light. )

 

Haha...are you gonna be dressed in something funky? Gotta keep it authentic, you know...some silver body paint would be a good touch.

When I was a student at UCLA, my dorm hosted a Halloween trick-or-treat thing for some local kids. For the theme, I was dressed in some rags (like kinda bum-looking), and some little kid kicked me in the shin for no good reason. Hope you have better luck.

Well, everything went great! I got a fabulous letter of recommendation from the head of student housing at UCLA, and they're going to give my name to other organizers on campus.

For a couple of groups I did a rope routine in which I tell them that they're going to be hypnotized. Then I gave the a post-hypnotic suggestion: they'll all root for USC against Cal.
