But when he meets Leo Fein, he thinks he's found his place. Fein, however, has designs on Ben's mother and her modest fortune. As the end of apartheid approaches, Ben is thrust among political fugitives and right-wing extremists in an attempt to save his family and find redemption for his part in their downfall.

Hello, fellow travelers in the magic wasteland.My journey has taken me from close-up tricks to strictly card tricks to "fractal" packet tricks to self-working card tricks to, recently, mentalism with playing cards, and back to card tricks. The adventure has been interesting, illuminating, and fun. Wouldn't have it any other way.The wasteland is a mixed bag of diverse preferences. In this volume, I appeal to those who have similar tastes and to those who are surveying the breadth and variety of this thing of ours, la cosa nostra, card magic.Here, we concentrate on an item from Mentalissimo, a preview if you will. We revisit and thoroughly ground in context, a past favorite from High Caliber, "Big Fat Bluff Aces," which may have been overlooked, but, likely would have fooled you.All in, eight of the ten discussions have not been in print before in any form. The other two are highlighted for your attention. By the way, all of the tricks use regular cards. Eight are essentially impromptu. One is a fractal packet trick. A mixed bag. But, hopefully, with some appeal.

The method and plan of this dictionary of Jamaican English are basically the same as those of the Oxford English Dictionary, but oral sources have been extensively tapped in addition to detailed coverage of literature published in or about Jamaica since 1655. It contains information about the Caribbean and its dialects, and about Creole languages and general linguistic processes. Entries give the pronounciation, part-of-speach and usage of labels, spelling variants, etymologies and dated citations, as well as definitions. Systematic indexing indicates the extent to which the lexis is shared with other Caribbean countries.
