17th Century manuscripts always mindfreak me
Mindfreak!! That's the word I was trying to think of! It's like a show on tv, right?
Instead I just wrote "Hokis Pokis", but I think I might have to make a change. You will not receive credit, however.
Yes, "Mindfreak" is the show that features "magician" Criss (yes, that's actually how you spell his first name) Angel.
In English department circles, however, you might have heard people talking about "Mind Explosion!" the Human Giant spoof. If you didn't watch Human Giant, you seriously need to download every episode right now.
Criss Angel...I kept searching David Blain. And I have started watching the Human Giant. Good stuff!
