Fans of Star Trek: The Next Generation will recognize Marina as Counselor Deanna Troi. Fellow SCS-writer and world-class juggler Michael Goudeau (star of the Lance Burton magic show at the Monte Carlo Hotel & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip Â- don't miss it when you're in Vegas, and tell them I sent you) invented a trick we called "Card Nose," in which a deck of cards is sprayed at Marina's face, and her selected card is impaled on her nose Â- the pictures here show her before and after! She was a great sport and very funny in the bit, and as "chief magic consultant" I had the pleasure of teaching her the secret part of the trick that we needed her help on. She was a quick study, so then I spent another half hour or so doing some close-up magic for her, and we had a great time all told. By the way, I may have been listed as chief magic consultant, but Michael Goudeau came up with some of my favorite trick plots for the season, including the Hot Tub card trick with Baywatch gal Angelica Bridges, and Lyle Lovett's truly funny Valentine, probably the single funniest idea we had all year.
