Gosh, that was unexpected. Thanks for the votes faiton, jafo, and lwo, and the like, FJ. Also for organisning, paul - not impressed by the conspiracy theories, but the magician was brilliant!
Well done, Chrise, good semi &lit? clue. Thank you for your vote, Jon O, and to Paul M for holding the fort.
