A wonderfully engaging lecture by a fine speaker. Guy may not want daylight to shine on his magic, but he shines here in illuminating his technique: the deferment of disclosure, or what M.

Yeah. Wally. The walking stick resembles experience, maturity and sophistication. All aspects of Gandalf. This is a great lecture.
There's nothing wrong with a good stick as a walking companion!
