Especially the illusion with the legs in the middle there. AWESOME.

Actually, Eks is in Tod Browning's "Freaks," which is one of our favorite movies (and the origin of the whole Romones "gabba gabba hey!") You should TOTALLY see this movie if you haven't!

Dude, I am offended. Of course I've seen Freaks! I have it on my iTunes right now! :D

I just didn't know about the chasing his legs around act, which sounds like a RIOT.

OK, just checking! *g* I'd've THOUGHT you'd be *one of us, one of us* but you know, sometimes people miss good stuff, is all! I didn't want that TO HAPPEN TO YOU!!!
