Ballantyne was a comedic magician. You must have seen him... May be Ballantine (ine instead of yne). Carl Ballantine... Was on McHale's Navy. Hysterical. But a magician too.
And I'm kidding about the slight of hand... I love the floor shows! I never get to kid around. Andy kids around and it's comic Masterpiece Theater... Jeez.
(And Denis of Cork is still better than Big Brown.)
