Can we please do without this Antisemitic (not to mention anti-magician)
garbage?  D.C.'s effects are extremely well-known in the field, and he
isn't doing anything a close-up magician can't do -- it's just the scale

It was dreary and wearisome.  Cold clammy winter still held way in this
forsaken country.  The only green was the scum of livid weed on the dark
greasy surfaces of the sullen waters.  Dead grasses and rotting reeds loomed
up in the mists like ragged shadows of long-forgotten summers.
