Tuesday, December 26, 2006One day during the week before Christmas I took a walk on 5th avenue to take a look at the fabulous window displays that many fancy stores put together. I went by Saks 5th Avenue just in time for the snowflakes on the building facade to light up to the music. The windows of the ground floor had awesome animated displays. Other notable stores are Henri Bendel with their spectacular display of the characters from Alice in Wonderland, Bergdorf Goodman with it's fabulous winter themed window displays and of course the "Miracle on 34th Street" Macy's. Below is the video of the animated displays as well as a slide show of the still ones. If you stay in Manhattan for Christmas, make sure you check out all these stores. The best time to see them is at night because there is less street reflection in the windows and the displays' lighting looks better. More photos of Christmas in New York that I took are here. There is also a nice collection by someone else here. Wednesday, November 22, 2006Friday, November 17, 2006

Today it felt like 110 degrees outside and at night it started to rain. Some people chose to walk underneath an umbrella, but some decided just to treat Manhattan as a beach.

No matter how unbelievable the magic tricks are, again, they are just tricks. A lot of the tricks requrie sliegh of hand and appropriate props. There is a website The Trickery where you can buy these props and see many demos of the tricks using those props. I downloaded every single one of them and will watch them on my Treo to see if I can have an idea on how the tricks are done. The total time of all clips is more than 4 hours! I also bought my first item from them - Bottle Up Inside - a DVD explaining how to get a ring inside a glass bottle. I've seen a similar trick myself performed by a street magician. He was able to get a quater inside a glas beer bottle, and then take it out. I can't wait to find out how it's done! Thursday, May 4, 2006The cool thing about having a personal website is that other people with the same name are googling for themselves and find it. Today I received an IM from Sandra Pungin who lives in Spain.

![]() It's amazing that in a city with more than 8 million people I keep bumping into the people I know. Today I bumped into the reporter from New York Sun Amanda Gordon. She is the author of the section of the paper called "Out and About with Amanda Gordon" where she publishes photos and small blurbs about various events that take place in the city. Many of the events are charity galas such as various balls that I frequently attend. First time I met her was at Quadrille Ball 2004 when she interviewed me and Kerrie among other people. She published Viennese Opera Ball 2005 dress rehearsal. She took this picture of me in the paper. Also she wrote an article about Viennese Opera Ball 2006.
