Still Waiting For the Pokemon Pokeball

Someone tell me if I'm wrong. Amongst the plethora of Pokemon spinoffs, there does not yet exist a Pokeball. This should be a no brainer. How can any Pokemon collector and trainer go about his business without a Pokeball? It just makes sense to have one; one that you can throw without breaking things I might add. The problem with a Pokeball is that you need a Pokemon to live in it, and it would be great to throw your Pokeball and have a plushie leap out. Unfortunately, even in our high tech age, such things are still very low tech and would consist of a jack-in-the-box contraption with a spring and a Plushie that falls flat. I doubt that would be popular. I'm not sure how that aspect of the Pokeball could be fixed but amongst all the people working with Nintendo I'm know there's enough imagination to come up with something. The simple solution I have is this: Make the Pokeball?collection into a kind of Pokemon card game. That is, inside the Pokeball, have 6 to 12 layers of pictures of different Pokemon of varying strength. Make sure each Pokeball is randomly made so that they're all unique. Each time the Pokeballs get thrown, the picture changes and the battle is won or lost on the strength of the Pokemon that show up. Not the greatest idea in the world, I know, but I tell you, I really think the kids are secretly clamoring for a Pokeball and that they would be a great hit on the market. Speaking of the market, inside the Pokeball you could start adding Pokemon Black and White monsters, because Pokemon Black and White is what's really popular now. My son has Pokemon Black and White Plush Toys (Stuffed Toys) and loves them so much he even sleeps with them. He's also a maniac for the Pokemon Black and White Card Game and collects the new Black and White cards whenever he can. He also has a Pokemon Black and White Zuken Figure, but by far he prefers the soft Plushies. Speaking of soft, and getting back to Pokeballs, I'm a little ashamed to admit that I made my son a pseudo Pokeball that is like a dye, but has softer edges. I sewed different Pokemon faces onto each side, and now he can play a dice game with something that is 'sort of' like a Pokeball. If any of you kids are reading this, go ahead and ask Nintendo for a Pokeball. If you're a parent and want to be a hero, you can as well. To find the rarest Japanese Pokemon items, check out the store that has every kind of Pokemon plush toy that you can imagine. Also an incredible selection of Pokemon pokedolls, charms, straps, plush toys, promo cards, keychains, binders, deck boxes, sleeves, plush toys, and just about anything you can imagine. Delivered right to your front door from Japan.

Seance - The Daisey Mae Story

Monday 26th September - Preview of New Show. It is common for Theatre shows do run preview events and performances before the formal run of dates begins... It is common for comedians to try out material on a selected audience before going on tour... I would assume therefore that Magicians would do the same... For me this was the first time of running a dress rehearsal preview of a full two hour show in front of an invited audience and I'm not sure why it's taken me this long to do it! OK, the downside is having to cover the costs of hiring the venue BUT the pluses far outweigh these costs. It's almost impossible to rehearse a mentalism show without an audience, and despite the scripting, blocking, routining that needs to be done its not until there are real people watching what you do are you likely to get any sense of the 'effectiveness' of your show. Seance: The Daisey Mae story is a two hour show ending in a seance. I spent ages on a back story linking the...

Pokemon Training - Not Unlike Horses

Welcome to the Pokemon Cafe! The Pokemon cafe is for those who, like me, know next to nothing about the world of Pokemon that our kids are so excited about. I myself am a mother of an 11-year-old boy who spends a great deal of his day thinking of Pokemon. These days he's especially crazy about Pokemon Black and White, including the Pokemon card game and also the new Pokemon Black and White Plushies (Pokemon stuffed toys that look like stuffed animals). Since Pokemon Black and White came out, I admit to caving in and buying him a large plush toy and two small plushies. No more! Today's topic is training- how it is done and the attitudes of the trainers. Practically speaking, there are the attitudes of trainers in the animated Pokemon storyline and the attitudes of gamers. It is the former I want to focus on; it's more interesting! Like any other animal/human relationship, the core of the Pokemon/trainer relationship is based on trust. Beyond that, there may be a great deal...
