There were chads and hanging chads and no chads but that is now all in the past. The fact remains that the Governor of Texas, Mr George Bush will be sworn in as President of The United States on 18 January 2001. What many of you reading this may not know is that Mr.Bush is a great fan of magic. During his term of office as Governor of Texas, Mr Bush enjoyed watching magicians. At one time, a while back, he was levitated by Texas magician Scott Wells. Scott Wells was the Conventions Editor of MAGIC and President of TAOM last year.
