Afterword by Dr Pompkins
As I recover from major leg surgery following a particularly hairy trick involving a circular saw in the warm climes of northern Budapest, I hope that you will have learned much from my tips and advice. I would ask you to go out straight away, into your new dawn, and practise what you have been taught. There is no time like the present; if there is magic to be done, the early bird catches the worm. And then hides it in a specially concealed trouser pocket.
Adieu,
Dr Pompkins
