Every day! 184 N. Christina St., Sarnia (beside Maran Fashions) 519-491-5256 5256 By Norma West Linder, Sarnia - From Daytripping, Christmas 2007 When I was a kid I watched a magician flutter a red silk handkerchief and produce, seemingly out of nothing, a huge bouquet of rainbowcoloured flowers. I was entranced. To this day, I am easily confounded by magic. The simplest card tricks baffle me. One I found on Simeon’s World of Magic on the Internet(www. simeonmagic.com) was so easily solved I was embarrassed when my son explained it to me. Simeon showed four cards, instructed me to choose one, and promised my card would be missing when he showed the cards again. Sure enough, it was. What I didn’t realize was that all four cards were different ones. I had been concentrating so hard on my chosen nine of diamonds, I hadn’t even noticed the other cards. Until I saw his biography on Patrick Watson’s TV show “The Canadians” I’d never heard of Stewart James, even though he was born and died in Courtright, Ontario, just a few miles down the St. Clair River from Sarnia. James, born in 1908, lived in a house named “Aberystwyth” for most of his life. An only child, he was overly protected by his mother. He always had to go right home after school, and she would never allow him to play with other children. Probably this accounts for the fact that he became attached to imaginary friends. He claimed they gave him secrets to magic tricks. The only time he was able to break free of his mother’s influence was when he joined the army and presented magic to the troops in World www.lilithboutiquesarnia.ca Professional Bra Fitting Mastectomy Fittings & Products Stylish Sleep & Loungewear Swim & Cruisewear New! Stay-cation Lounge & Easy Wear Made in Canada by Gilmore & LNBF! The Magician of Aberystwyth War II. He did manage to become engaged to a woman before he went overseas, but when he returned home, his mother demanded his complete attention. His fiancee returned his ring, and he never married. James’s mother died in 1972 at the ripe old age of 97. He looked after her until the end of her life. It would have been lonely for him without his imaginary companions. From 1956 until 1977, the great magician Stewart James delivered mail in the Courtright area. Today he is recognized as one of the greatest creative forces in magic, originating hundreds of tricks. Most of them were published in books and magazines, and many were released as marketed items. When “Stewart James in Print: The First Fifty Years” first appeared, it surprised the magic community. As large as the New York phone book, its 1025 pages were filled with hundreds of clever tricks. Two printings of the book sold out quickly. Edited by P. Howard Lyons and Allan Slaight, 500 copies have been reprinted in response to public demand. It is the largest work ever published on magic, let alone the magic of one man. It can be ordered through the Internet. Stewart James died on November 5, 1996. He had been a member of the Order of Merlin Excelsior since 1926. Many children enjoy trying their hands at magic, but few of them ever attain such success in the art as Stewart James, the wizard of Courtright.

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day is not enough, remember the jar and two glasses of wine. A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous “yes.” The professor then produced two glasses of wine from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed. “Now,” said the professor, as the laughter subsided, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things E-Mail The E-Mail IN-BOX Send the good stuff to info@daytripping.ca Two Glasses of Wine faith, family, children, health, friends, and favorite passions—things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. “The pebbles are the other things that matter, like your job, house and car. The sand is everything else—the small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued, “there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. “The same goes for life. If you spend all of your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. So… pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18 holes. “There will always be time to clean the house and re-arrange the shed. Take care of the golf balls first—the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.” One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the wine represented. The professor smiled, “I’m glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of glasses of wine with a friend.” Welcome to ...
