I pulled out 42A Show of hands?: CLOSEUPMAGIC because I had written SHADOWPUPPET before realizing that that wasn’t it. It was an unreasonably difficult clue for me to solve. Unreasonably difficult because as of July, I’ve been a magician member of the Magic Castle in Hollywood, and I have more decks of cards than my beautiful wife Calah ever thought she’d see in her life. While I don’t need any more right now, there will be a time when I have to buy more. It’s good that Costco has them in bulk.
No theme on a Friday.
