And I'm kidding about the slight of hand... I love the floor shows! I never get to kid around. Andy kids around and it's comic Masterpiece Theater... Jeez.

Ballantine the Magnificent was a tremendous act. Yes, he did play Lester Gruber on McHale's Navy as well.

Moving into Esoteric territory in 5..4..3......
