I Lee Weiner card carrying union member of IBM (INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD
of MAGICIANS) hereby do serve Theatre sports notice of Union infrigement.
Quoting the Constitution of United Canadian Artists, of which both
IBM and Theatre Sports are members:

Article 53
Subsection iv

	No member of this union will ever under any circumstances
	refer to magicians putting things up their sleeves.  No
	magician has ever done this and we are sick and tired of
	being accused of it.

Article 1254
Subsection xxiv

	No other art form will lay claim to doing magic other
	than magicians.  It's our shtick so find your own.

According to UCA regulations all proceeds from said event must be turned
over to the nearest IBM member.  Which by happy coincidence is me.
So I really want lot's of people to attend this Thursday!
