One evening, sitting in the back seat of the car, our two girls, ages six and eight, were discussing the show we were on our way to attend. Called The Illusionists, it featured seven of the world's top magicians. The debate consisted of whether there would be real magic involved, or just tricks.
"When they cut the man in half," our younger daughter asked, "how do they keep the blood in?" She was convinced there was true magic. Her older sister, a little wiser, wasn't buying it.
"Easy," she said. "R-o-b-o-t." She rolled her eyes at how obvious this was.
During the show, sure enough, we came to the part where a man – standing up, no less – was sawed in half. His torso fell onto a table, while his legs walked offstage. His top half was wheeled around before us, perfectly animate, perfectly alive.
It was clearly not a robot. Yet what it was, none of us could imagine. And even if we could have found out how it worked, I'd almost rather not. Because in a sense, both girls were right: There was real magic and there were tricks. The magic is in wondering how you were tricked. That's why we go to see performances like the Illusionists'.
Thiensville apartment developer agrees to consider smaller condominium development By Jeff Rumage
Thiensville - After hearing an overwhelming number of Thiensville residents rejected a 44-unit apartment building at the site of the former M&I Bank building, the developer has agreed to look at the feasibility of building a smaller condominium development.
Fox Point developer David Hoff plans to raze the old bank building, which has been vacant since 2007, and build a 44-unit apartment development on the 1.5-acre piece of land at Green Bay Road and Riverview Drive.
The two-story, U-shaped building consists of a dozen three-bedroom townhomes facing the roadways, and on the inner side of the U-shaped building is a mix of one- and two-bedroom units looking out onto a grass courtyard space. The development would include 77 underground parking spots.
One-bedroom apartments would range from 760 square feet to 900 square feet, and rent would start at $1,100. Two-bedrooms would average 1,100 square feet for about $1,600, and three-bedroom townhomes would average 1,500 square feet for about $2,000.
