So far, so good.

You remembered the David Copperfield incident? I assume that any of those magicians have the sleight of hand skill to do this trick, but I haven't paid attention to every little incident in their lives to have memorized a anecdote like this from seven years ago.

JTQ question 3. Curious, sportsfan: How did you know that?

[SportsFan68]

JTQ question 3. Curious, sportsfan: How did you know that?

The answer popped into my head as soon as I read the question, so I assume I read it in the news feed that shows up on my home page when I turn on the computer. That may not be the case -- it may be that I saw it in the local paper. Or, it may have been in a People magazine which I glance through sometimes over at the gym.

When I heard the name I thought of a M*A*S*H episode in which a GI (played by Joe Pantoliano) steals the identity of a dead soldier scheduled to rotate home. The dead GI was named Josh Levin.
