“You explain to the audience that you subscribe to a mail order magic company that sends you magic lessons on a CD. You received one today and brought it to show the audience how you learn your tricks. You open the shipping box and remove a CD. With any CD player, you put the CD in and start the lesson. After a short music introduction a pleasant male voice explains that this is "The Lesson of the Vanishing Bandanna." The voice tells you that you will need two props for this trick. The first is a large dark colored square of fabric and the second being a yellow bandanna. Upon these words you reach into the shipping box and bring out a piece of dark fabric and a yellow BANANA, not a yellow bandanna! The voice continues to explain that this lesson is about "Palming" and instructs you to fold up the yellow bandanna and vanish it in the dark square of fabric. This is done, but you are really folding and mashing up the banana...which will get a great response of laughter from the audience. The trick ends with you vanishing the folded and mashed BANANA in the dark fabric square.”
Cons: The Vanishing Bandanna Trick is so easy and fun, there's little downside if you are looking for an amusing and easy to perform trick. Very little practice is required.

Model Trains: A Hobbyist Guide
Model trains are popular and exist in the industry for more than over a century now. The first record of model trains goes back to as early as 1840’s.
Model railroading or model trains as it is widely known, are reduced or miniature models of trains and railways. Its scale structures include locomotives, street cars, rolling stock, rail tracks and signaling. But to a much more extensive type may include buildings, natural features, other vehicles, people, etc. Involvement in model trains can range from a possession of a single train set to hiking up to large amounts of money and countless hours of hard labor for its construction. Aside from hobbyists, it can also serve as a prototype for proposed projects without incurring the cost of a life-sized prototype.
The most primitive form is the Carpet Railways. Its locomotives were easy and much uncomplicated. They are normally made out of brass. Plain oscillating cylinder-like material served as its wheels. Since old trains are steam powered, the model trains were filled with water and just beneath it is a burner to exhibit a steam-like emission. There were no rail tracks involved, it was just positioned in the floor and was placed to run around. But due to a huge number of them exploding and crashing into walls, safety valves were then fitted.
Although model trains are just mere replication of the real thing, these babies are powered by genuine high-grade engines. Here are the top 2 that are broadly used:
The most popular in the whole world is arguably the HO scale. HO stands for half-O because this scale is 1:87 in ratio and is just about half that of the O scale. HO scales base 3.5 millimeters represent as 1 foot in the real world. However more insubstantial than other, it is most of the time preferred due to its smaller size.
Next is the O scale or O gauge. This scale means a 1:43 ratio in scale model. It can run on a conventional 3-rail track but more commonly on a 2-way track. However, the spacing of this type of gauge is not that accurate and is not true to scales.
Model Trains have come a long way from the most popular plaything now as a collector’s item. They certainly have their share of ups and downs when more advanced modes of transportation came in. But they stood up to prove that they were all worth it!

IPOD Help!
It’s finally happened. You knew the day would come sooner or later, you just wish it had been later rather than sooner. What am I talking about? The fact that you need someone who knows their iPod help problems like the back of their hands. And why is that? Because your iPod has stopped completely, frozen in its tracks and nothing you do is helping it to thaw out.
The last thing that you want to do is to throw in the towel now and have to buy a new iPod (because naturally enough your warranty has expired). So you take the time to sit down and tell yourself to stop panicking, something can be done and you can find the necessary iPod help guru to get your iPod jump started again.
You go at this logically and decide to first look through the internet to see what you can find on the various iPod help topics that are littering the airwaves in cyberspace. The first place you decide to go to, is Apple’s official site which you feel should have the necessary iPod help and more, somewhere within its pages.
And Voila! You’ve hit the jackpot. There are reams and reams of people in more or less the same boat as you, all needing help on various different iPod problems. You decide to join the masses and get an answer to your problem. But first you conduct a search through the problems already asked and answered within the iPod help pages.
Luckily for you, or unluckily depending on your point of view, this is not a completely new phenomenon and many other people have also experienced this problem of their iPods freezing up. So you read through the very helpful answers laid out on these pages and find the answer to your problem. You also see that if you had read the iPod help manual in the first place, you would have found a solution to begin with!
Your iPod is now up and running, and is no longer frozen having thawed out completely when you followed the instructions found on the iPod help pages, but since you’re here anyway and the question came up once, you decide to do a search through the internet to find out if there are any other sites which will be of help to if you ever need iPod help gurus again.
And sure enough you find that there are many forums and iPod help pages where other people have tumbled across problems with their own iPods. There are many questions asked on the topic of iPod help needed, and more than enough viable answers to help you in your time of need.

Car Ipod
One of the times when you appreciate your iPod the most is when you need to travel extensively, whether it’s by air, land or sea, and you find that you have a lot of time on your hands. And when this travel comprises travel by car having your own personal car iPod accessory kit can help you tremendously.
When you talk about a car iPod accessory kit however, there are different ways to look at it, and different types for you to get. These can encompass anything from complete car iPod accessory kits to one or two necessary items to an iPod FM transmitter.
With the latter, and iPod FM transmitter, most people find that they have all the utilities of a complete car iPod accessory kit, without the large price tag. And since the FM transmitters come in the wireless variety as well, all that you will really need to take along with you would be your iPod and your FM transmitter.
On the other hand if you want better quality sound than is available through these FM transmitters and if you can afford the price tag that goes along with it, a car iPod accessory kit is probably just the thing for you.
Comparatively speaking the FM transmitter can deliver good sound, but when push comes to shove you will find when you enter or pass through the bigger cities and towns, that the airwaves are so jammed full of FM transmissions that your clear sounding songs of a few minutes and miles ago, are not necessarily clear.
With a car iPod accessory kit at hand however, you will find that you don’t actually have to cope with all of that your songs play loud and clear the entire time. And if you’re worried about battery time, don’t be. Most of the car iPod accessory kits which are on the market these days include an iPod charger in the kit as well.
The problem with having a car iPod accessory kit however, is the fact that you will need to keep all the pieces in one place and together so as not to lose something important to the entire kit. For instance, losing your charger just because you were in a hurry and didn’t have anywhere to stash it won’t help you in the long run.
So along with your iPod you will also need to find a safe place to keep your car iPod accessory kit so that you always have access to it when you need it the most. Without otherwise, think of all the long boring miles that you would have to spend in the company of your own self!
