So here we are, walking just outside the Hogsmeade town gate, when we encounter an odd looking guy in a red vest, beckoning the crowds into his small chamber.  Well, we couldn't pass up a chance to sit down in an air conditioned room for a little while, so in we went.  Actually the guy put on a pretty good show of sleight of hand magic, and then -- in the time-honored tradition of carnival hucksters everywhere -- he invited us backstage to buy the tricks he'd just shown us.

Garrett and Gavin thought the flaming wallet trick was particularly awesome.  But Mom, picturing the family homestead reduced to ashes, wisely said, "no."

[Give the blue bar time to load all the way across.]

But Gavin did pick up a few less incendiary tricks, and now he's Gavin the Amazing.  He can even shoot red lights out of his butt.  Don't you wish you could shoot red lights out of your butt?  I sure do.
