Oddly, after I wrote this, I noticed this little description in the 
"Linking Ring" magic magazine:

Doesn't sound too hot, does it?  :^)

PS: Unrelated, here's an odd piece of trivia.  The word "first" has 
appeared in every P3D digest so far this month!

Y2K warning:  The Y2K "bug" has been a hoax from the start, but the 
only people who can expose the lie are the programmers who stand to 
profit from it.

Ignore the hype.  Don't hoard food, leave your money in the bank, and 
put the gun back in the attic. The big story on January 1 will be 
that nothing happened.
