Blackenshear the Curious
Third this week, in my reviews from the Carolina Renaissance Festival, is Blackenshear the Curious. Unfortunately, by the time I got to his show with the camera, it was getting very crowded. Therefore, I have only this weak shot of him (sorry).

Also missing (from the picture) is her wonderful assistant, Jayna Lee. Together they perform "Curious magic and impossible illusions." And there's fun and comedy, too. Jayna Lee is the acrobat and contortionist. And she's good! Blackenshear is the magician, and with 15 years of practice, he's getting pretty darn good, too! This is another great live show with a couple of entertainers who really know what they're doing. Their stated goal is to entertain, and they absolutely do a great job of it. His illusions are indeed impossible. As an amateur magician in my youth, I've always been intrigued with magic tricks. He performs some classics and some really good ones that I still haven't figured out after having watched them for years! I haven't had a chance to talk much with these two after performances, but I think that's mostly just because I haven't been in the right place at the right time. They sure seem like truly wonderful and nice people. And Jayna Lee is so bubbly and cheerful all the time: think cheerleader on steroids (but in a good way). If you ever get a chance to head out to this show, be sure and stop by and see these two -- you won't regret it at all! Previously:

Methinks Jayna's steroidal bubblishnes has affected thee. ;-)
It all sounds very good, but what I want to know is: did he get to saw her in half?
BTW, I noticed something different on my cell yesterday but thought it was a fluke. Did you...?
Did you make changes to your template?

You did! I can make comments from my cell now! Yipee!! I don't have to use my work computer to read you & possibly get in trouble.
[Doing a happy dance!] You are best Ogre Ever! And I mean in the most mean-spirited way. [Skips away in total joy.]

Oh, no. You have NO idea how bubblish Jayna can be. If I had the ability, I'd record some of her bubbliness and share it here...

You really need to share the "click to enlarge" trick! As my 16 year old grandson would say, "kewl"!

That's a simple one -- you just take your image that's in your ___ tag and surround it with a href=insertImageNameHere. Then, to scale the image, you just add a height= and/or weight= inside the image tag and it's small.
