This discussion was recorded in the Magic Castle when we worked together there in March 2023. In our conversation, Jamy covers the gamut of magic from those who have influenced his life to an esoteric discussion of equivoque and the power of magic has on our audience and a deep dive into a theoretical talk about magic. Nearly everyone who is anyone in magic had their name dropped in this week’s chat by someone who intimately knew them all quite well. Jamy truly is the conjuror’s conjuror.

Hi Christine, I know this is a long shot but long story short - lost my saves file a while ago and cannot find many of most favourite fics, I have countless quotes saved from them. I am sharing some with you in hopes people recognise the fics they're from if you post this. I will love you forever.

Derek’s first kiss in four years tastes like fresh-squeezed orange juice and makes his stomach flip like the drop in a rollercoaster. Stiles holds him close like he’s thanking him.

About the summer he spent in Ireland because there were pictures of his mom posed in various tourist sites at Dublin and Dingle and the Giant’s Causeway--places that he wanted to experience personally since he never got to ask her first-hand.

Derek looked at him for a moment, and wow, okay, this was why people wrote songs about love and painted pictures and wrote poetry, because he was pretty sure that he was falling in love with Derek Hale if only because of the guy's beautiful eyes and earnest expressions and his everything. God.

In some ways Stiles has done a lot of growing up since then, but a part of him thinks he’ll always be that scrawny, ridiculous kid at heart, whose greatest joys in life were Froot Loops, cheesy disco tunes, and masturbation.

Stiles gets back from his year abroad in Hungary with more muscles and the first of his tattoos, a knotted rope that runs the length of his spine.

Hey, Derek, can you do me a solid? Nothing serious, just, you know, screw my brains out, that’s all.

He meets Stiles’ gaze from where he's leaning against the back wall, his eyes catching glints of light amid the shadows. Certain people are just meant to live under the open sky.

Whatever he says afterwards, whatever happens between them, there will always be this, the long late afternoon with the sun skidding red in the west, and he will always know what Stiles looked like the first time someone filled him up to the hilt. There are no acrobatics. Nothing fancy happens. Derek feels like the ocean breaking helplessly on the shore, the tide rising, spilling him over.

there’s something about the shape of him, the way he’s huge and solid and beautiful and always thirty seconds away from admitting total defeat that rubs Stiles raw and tender.

“People are so exhausting,” he murmurs, and Stiles is glad to know it: that he isn’t people, that he counts as a kind of between places, maybe even as home.

On November 1st 1969 Morag Siller the actress, voice artist, and radio personality was born in Edinburgh.

Aged three Morag, along with her twin brother Colin, were adopted and brought up in the capital’s Greenbank district. She came to terms with being adopted with forthright honesty, “I was lucky to have been adopted by such a loving family” she once said. “I wouldn’t change things for the world.” She attended James Gillespie’s High School where she first wanted to be a pianist, but came to the conclusion she would not be able to make a career out of it, Morag also thought about joining the police force, but caught the acting bug and began to take a keen interest in drama often appearing in the school’s plays.After leaving school she attended the Edinburgh Acting School, at 18 she moved to London where she trained at the Sylvia Young School and at Rada.

While still a student she landed a role as a jitterbug dancer in David Puttnam’s film Memphis Belle, directed by fellow Scot Michael Caton-Jones.

Siller appeared in many roles on television – being cast in semi-regular roles such as Flora Kilwillie in Monarch of the Glen, Leona in Casualty (she had a permanent crush on Derek Thompson’s charge nurse Charlie) and a Dingle in Emmerdale. She won an award for the role in Casualty and also appeared in Doctors, EastEnders, Fiona’s Story (with Jeremy Northam and Gina McKee) and Hetty Winthorp Investigates.

She appeared in several musicals – West Side Story, Les Miserables and Mamma Mia! both in the West End and on tour around the UK. Siller appeared in the world tour of Mamma Mia! and performed the show in China.

At the first day of rehearsals for Les Miserables the cast were brought together to meet the orchestra and Siller recognised a familiar face. “I know you” she said to the horn player. “We were at school together.” She married Tim Nicholson at Prestonfield House in Edinburgh in 2005. In 2013 she played a central role in some gripping scenes in Coronation Street.

She married Tim Nicholson, a classical musician at Prestonfield House in Edinburgh in 2005. She was devoted to Scotland (“I’m never as happy as when I’m in Scotland” she told a reporter) and often returned to visit friends and family - she and her husband holidayed every year in Orkney. a friend also commented (that) “Morag was besotted by Scotland: Edinburgh and Scotland defined her personality.”

Morag and Tim had been about to adopt a child in 2011 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

She wnet on to became a patron of two cancer charities, for which she organised fundraisers, and had hoped to resume the adoption process. But the cancer returned and she was told it was incurable. Morag sadly passed away on April 15th 2016.

No Man's An Island

Sadly, this is true.

Wow, we haven't seen these guys in a long time.

Written by Ralph Soll

Here's two more people we haven't seen in a while.

Directed by Mark J. Howard

Ah the good old days when you could rent movies from stores. As opposed to today, where you rent them from YouTube.

Not really your scene, eh, Static?

Why is the stolen car the only car that is CGI? And, like, really bad cgi too.

No, Static. The guys with hi-tech gear are never cops.

We're getting a lot of sleeveless Static this season.

More incredibly bad CGI!

Just make Hotstreak jump into the lights. His pointy hair should break the bulbs.

Hot Streak is right, Static. This is clearly

I don't think the obvious fascists care, Static.

I didn't recognize Rubber Band Man

Static is a fan of Freefall, clearly.

Hot Streak, you're a dumbass.

Static created by Dwayne McDuffie, Derek T. Dingle, Denys Cowan and Michael Davis

Animated by Dong Yang and Koko Enterprises

Milestone Generations trailer released

“Where are the Black superheroes?” That question, posed back in 1993, led to a revolution: the creation of Milestone Media. In 1993, Denys Cowan, Dwayne McDuffie, Derek Dingle, and Michael Davis had an idea: a Black-owned comic book company, in partnership with DC, that would introduce the world to a new universe of the most diverse heroes the world had ever seen. That idea changed…

When it comes to shipping:

One half of the ship: I want to be best friends with, give life advice to and be their personal cheerleader.

The other half: I want to pin me up against the wall, like a work of art.

I wanted to honor #BlackHistoryMonth by highlighting some of the African American/Black comic book characters and creators. Today's post will focus on the group who created the minority owned and operated Milestone Media Company in 1993 in an attempt to alleviate the lack of minority representation in comic books.

Milestone was the brainchild of African-American artists and writers Dwayne McDuffie, Denys Cowan, Michael Davis, and Derek T. Dingle. Christopher Priest was also involved but left the company before a distribution deal was signed with DC Comics. As part of the deal with DC Comics, Milestone retained creative control amd copyrights of their properties. The first four series that was published by Milestone was Hardware, Icon, Blood Syndicate and Static Shock.

The number of series would grow with a number of yearly crossovers including the World's Collide storyarc with DC Comics character. By 1997 the company would cease operations. The character Static Shock would become well known due to his animated television show that aired on the WB Network and affiliates.

In 2008 , Milestone became part of the DC Universe's canon and its characters have been seen in numerous series and storyarcs since. Sadly Dwayne McDuffie would pass away on February 21, 2011 at the age of 49.

The company is now helped by famed African American writer, director and producer Reginald Hudlin, and founding members Denys Cowan and Derek T. Dingle.

Static In Africa

In which Static takes a vacation

Written by Dwayne McDuffie

Er, where else would you get vaccinations?

Yep, lots of goats. That's 'cause goats are hellspawn here to take over the world for their demonic masters

It looks like this episode is missing a director's credit, too. Weird.

That's cheating, Virgil

Robert is typical American tourist confirmed

Ah, so we're in an actual African country, Ghana. At least they're not pretending the whole continent is a country

And is deeply controversial in Africa, for a variety of reasons. My own opinion on the subject is entirely irrelevant, but I do want to point out Pan-Africanism has been used for both good and evil

For Richie, who probably identifies primarily or exclusively as America, going to Ireland probably wouldn't have the same resonance. But Richie's dad probably does understand what Virgil is experiencing, even if he wouldn't admit it.

Not gonna lie, I thought he was a chick

Also, that's an awfully Spanish looking get-up for an African hero

Alas, wrong spider, Virgil

Virgil comes by his badassery honestly

I think you just might, Robert

Too close

It's a shopping thing. A lot of Americans and Canadians, returning to their ancestral (or culturally/religiously significant) homelands go through similar... call it 'euphoria'. They experience a 'cultural connection' which often manifests itself as getting sucked into tourist traps, being tacky and annoying the locals with their enthusiasm. Ah well. It's much better than the tourists who are total asshats.

I don't think Static has met John Stewart yet, which explains a bit of his fanboy-ism. And 'sides, Anansi is cool

Of course he can. It's a terrible idea, but he totally can.

Anansi has a great sense of humour.

Anansi and Zorro go to the same tailor is all I'm saying

While this is kind of oddly ignoring John Stewart, the message is quite heartwarming... and accurate. Static is unquestionably a great hero.

Static created by Dwayne McDuffie, Derek T. Dingle, Denys Cowan and Michael Davis

Animated by Koko.

Happy New Years everybody!

DC’s Milestone Resurrection Resumes and “needed more than ever,” says Co-founder
