Inside Magic

Letters, We Get Letters!

It is the policy of Inside Magic to provide prompt and full corrections, retractions, and apologies when caught. Rather than post ten to fifteen corrections/apologies a day for the errors made the previous day, Inside Magic posts the more significant notices as a group.

Inside Magic reserves the right to post these corrections on slow news days or when it suspects no one is actually reading. Inside Magic also reserves the right to post the corrections in a confusing manner — such as in the format of a "letter to the editor" or "question."

Inside Magic assumes no responsibility for anything or for anyone but does very much regret its so-called "stalking" or "autograph seeking" or "trying to grab or grapple" a certain famous magician (female) during a post-convention party on mainland Pennsylvania.

Inside Magic does admit the gender of the alleged victim of Inside Magic's zealous devotion is not relevant but mentions the magician was a "she" only to look less freaky.

Inside Magic also notes it has returned virtually all of the pairs of shoes it borrowed from the hotel room of the certain famous woman magician.

In the June 14th, 1999 European edition, Inside Magic inadvertently suggested a certain photograph had "scratch-and-sniff" properties. Inside Magic regrets the unfortunate frustration of tens of European readers as they scratched and sniffed their computer monitors. Additionally, Inside Magic apologizes to the estate of Oscar(r) Winning Actress Shelly Winters, the subject of the questionable photograph.

As part of a long-running advertisement on matchbook covers in the Southern United States, Inside Magic challenged users to "draw Hoppy and win a magic-art scholarship." While the contest was legitimate, and 'Hoppy – the Crystal Meth Rabbit' was easy to draw, Inside Magic should have instructed the contestant to remove the matches before sending in their entries.

While not admitting responsibility, Inside Magic has offered its apology and insurance policy limits to the central postal facilities of Mystic Hollow, Michigan for their unfortunate and unexplainable conflagration. Inside Magic also regrets its suggestion that rabbits in general, and 'Hoppy' specifically, are more 'attractive and enjoyable when hopped-up on Scootch.'

'Hopped-up on Scootch' is the trademark of Boarded-Up Crack Den, Inc. of Davison, California.

Thomas J. writes to Inside Magic: "Where has David Blaine gone? I'll tell you where. He's been disappeared by the forces that be, that's where! Check it out. Why would his last trick be him sitting in a glass box for 44-days?
