Good grief.

I will never here the last of this; she has now entered two contests and won prizes in both.

_{Although, as I type, I don't think she ever got her copy of Craft magazine?}

Astute detective work would confirm or deny that fact. Try youtube.

I dont follow.....Care to help me out a bit?

Lithium Rain

Since I'm so helpful, sure! :D

Kiteman has embedded some of his videos on this site. By following the trail back to youtube, we find out his username is "Thelangfords" or something like that, I don't recall exactly. As further verification, on their userlookup, it gives his age as 40-same as Kiteman.

Ah! Chalk up one point in the coolness list for Adrian Monk! I've got some investigating to do....

Lol, I can't find him anywhere else, though I have diligently searched for teachers in East Anglia, no joy so far...somehow I think of his first name as being David, but that's just a wild guess...

Kiteman

David Langford is a successful SciFi author and journalist. I almost met him once. Unfortunately, he is no relation.

His home page

What's very weird is, because I prefer to use the name Kiteman online (that's a hint), when I google my real name I find a lot of news articles about me committing fraud, or dying.

That is genuinely spooky.

Let's see, is this your homepage? I don't think so?

You own a mac. Running OS 10.

Kiteman

Reply 12 years ago

I don't have a homepage, unless you count my pages on the BBC.

Lithium Rain

Reply 12 years ago

Was I right about the mac?

Kiteman

Reply 12 years ago

Nope.

Lithium Rain

Reply 12 years ago

I figured that, and I have googled Kiteman, to no avail! I'll try it again though...

Kiteman

Reply 12 years ago

No, I meant I prefer to be referred to as Kiteman online. YouTube is the only site where I use my surname, and that's only because Kiteman was already used.

Oh! I see! Sorry then. Want me to remove the comment and cartoon?

Kiteman

Reply 12 years ago

No, it's not secret, I just prefer to reduce the risk of stalkers (I used to use my proper name when I wrote for the BBC, had a few problems).

Keith-Kid

Reply 12 years ago

Um....how bout you just ask him. My bet is that his name is Rusty. Yup. Rusty S. to be exact. Rusty S. S.

Good old Rusty Shackleford Shangleheimer Langford.

That's right Kiteman! I know your real name!!!

Lithium Rain

Shackleford. That reminds me of Sir Ernest Shackle'ton'. Ever read about him? Amazing guy...

Your thumb came off!!! Then you put it back!!! How did you do that?!

You know, there are still kids in their teens who fall for that, but my two boys never have?

Keith-Kid

Reply 12 years ago

DUH! They;re you;re kids! Means that they analyze situations....Once at a birthday party, a clown got angry because I saw through all his magic tricks.

Hmm, not always.... I have found in general that children, especially some very young children are harder to fool with magic then adults. In fact, on the average, I would rather have an audience of nuclear physicists then an audience made up of 1-5th graders while doing a magic show. The poor scientists tend to see the unexplainable and the conflict becomes unresolvable...while a child has no preconceived ideas and many times will see "what is really going on". I have seen this over and over again. :-) But if you like to watch magic, do not look for the answer as to how they are done....believe me, you will be SORELY disappointed.
