Dear Nick,
Of course you must have noticed the similarity in our surnames. Paul invented me. Are you another figment? Paul invited Allan Ackerman and me over at the 1976 [or maybe 1975] Hollywood Cavalcade of Magic. At the time I recognized his Color Stunners as �the creation of a genius�. I said so in the introduction to PH�s first book, THE MAGIC OF PAUL HARRIS, and so irritated Karl Fulves. He phoned to correct my choice of the word �genius� and explained that Color Stunner couldn�t be the work of a genius: �It�s only a card trick!� He got more annoyed when I accused him of being one of my friends, setting me up for a joke. After all, a famous guy wouldn�t be calling a nobody like me. Eventually, convinced that he was the real KF, I tried to explain that a word might have different meanings in different contexts, He interrupted my prattling to tell me that he was disappointed in me, and he abruptly hung up.
Each of questions 2 � 5 asks for THE best of favorite something. I really don�t think any of them has a unique answer.
I don�t know enough about THE internet readers to answers question 6.
Thanks you too, too,,,
Toodle Looy
