Robert-Houdin's Handy Guide To Balloon Twisting
After much ballyhoo about the merits of balloon twisting and it's place as a valid extension and/or permutation of magical arts, this single print of what is a massive tome written by Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin on the subtle nuances and intricacies of balloon twisting was discovered in Delta Burke's garage. Ironically Michael Faraday (inventor of the balloon) actually had his ass handed to him in a bar brawl by Robert-Houdin (during the young Frenchman's partying days)

"Sources" have it that a massive army of purple Venusian monkeys are planning a major coup d'état in the World Magic! Chris Angel, David Blaine, Dynamo, Penn & Teller and Lance Burton are all targeted. They each better keep an ear to the ground and an eye to the sky.
Yep, you guessed it... Spidora, Queen of the Arachnia Prime has managed to escape the phantom zone in which she was imprisoned by Marlon Brando and Doug Henning back in 78'. Her highness has managed to reestablish an old alliance with those nastly lavender primates from the second stone! This time, not content to just pick on close-up artists, Spidora has her eight eyes on more terrifying and lofty goals! She's vowed to force Teller to speak! To keep David Blaine from trying to kill himself!
To crush Chris Angel's ego in a device that allows someone to fathom just how insignicant they are in the grand scheme of the universe!
She wants to shave Dynamo's facial hair! Spidora must be stopped! The United Nations is calling on the one and only Walt Hudson for help in this dire crisis!

Thomas C. Worthington III
What? Don't take your magic seriously? Well this chap wouldn't hesitate to give you a whatfor and/or beat the living tar out of you! I mean, just look at him! Don't let the glasses fool you. Ole' T3 as Thomas was known in the hood was pugilism personified. The Tank Murdock of the magic scene.
Thomas Chew Worthington III hailed from a prominent Baltimore family, his father a doctor at John Hopkins. A known eccentric and magical purist, he showed open disdain for magicians that did not take the practice seriously and was even known to pick fights! He was the first member to join the Demons Club, but left in 1923 to form the Society of Osiris after his increasing agitation at the club's lack of exclusivity, calling it's members "the Peeping Tom's of magic." He worshiped Howard Thurston, considering him the world's greatest magician and despised Houdini "I knew Eric Weiss very well, he was an egotistical ass. There was no love lost between him and me." He also would joke that the initials M.U.M used by the Society of American Magician's (which stands for Magic, Unity and Might) actually meant "Many Useless Magicians!" lol At his home in Baltimore, Worthington had one of the largest and most valuable collections of rare magical apparatus in the world which, just prior to his death. he gave to the Ringling Brothers' Museum in Sarasota, Florida.

With expecatations to be the hottest selling item for Black Friday of 2013, a massive production facility was opened in the village of Billund, Denmark where hundreds of thousands were produced and readied for shipment to all corners of the globe. Unfortunately, during Brian Stracner's visit to the facility, it was psychically attacked by the great great grand son of Lego inventor Ole Kirk Kristiansen, Ole Jakaz Kristiansen. Brian's brilliant defensive hypno-counter attack would have worked beautifully had Ole Jakaz not hurled his bicycle into their main production machine, the infamously unstable Hadly-Watson No. 6 Molder-Presser-Shrinkwrapper and Ice-Cream Maker, thus ripping a hole in the space-time continuum. Brian and all the factory workers managed to escape before the building and all it's contents, molds and designs disappeared into a pinpoint of light. Now only two HypnoSwami action figures are known to exist... both auctioned off for an undisclosed sum. One figure is cuurently owned by actress Shirley MacClain and the other by Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin.

Reporters for the Demons Telegraph are unearthing photographic proof that Whit "Pop" Hadyn is indeed travelling through time!!!
As more evidence pours in about Mr. Haydn appearance at several key moments in American history, one can only speculate as for his reasons.
Was his magnetized water a key factor in ending the Second World War?
The only still from a lost episode of Capt. Kangaroo in 1966!
This may or may not be Pop pictured here in 1863,
but it would sure explain a great deal.
The Demons Telegraph is leaving no stone unturned!!!
Looks like there is more than one time-traveler in our midst !!!
The Demons Telegraph has uncovered this one and only promotional piece from the BBC's attempt at a new direction for Gordon Ramsay... Reasons for it not coming to fruition are unclear, however speculation of law suits from really bad magicians or that Gordon himself is in cahoots with Spidora are abound!
