Wait, before you burn him I want to learn that disappearing toothpick trick.  Once i have that down then you can tie him to the stake.

I don’t think it’s called torture any more, but I can’t remember if the new name is “pre-emptive retribution” or “Special Help in Obtaining Concealed Knowledge from Suspects” (SHOCKS).

In yeh good ol´days a hot iron, poked at the right places, would do just the trick. Or thumbscrews! Magnificent they were. Or some stretching.

*sigh*

It sounds like a ‘he said/they said’ argument, and they’re not releasing the details on his termination.  It’s very possible he’s just trying to get the public on his side, but without hearing the full account it’s impossible to know.

Agreed.

Oh, for goodness’ sake. People don’t get fired JUST for doing a magic trick (unless they are employed by insane people). The average American school supervisor, even a supervisor overly alert for signs of devil worship or hopped up on anti-Harry Potter propaganda, knows the difference between a magic trick and wizardry. So either this guy’s bosses are nuts or we don’t know the whole story. Or both.

As someone who is quick to jump on and mock any insanity that comes out of Florida, even I am skeptical of this one.

I’m pretty sure he screwed up on more than one occasion, and now he tries to cover his ass by pointing fingers.
In the words of my late Gramps:” He who points one finger at someone, points three fingers at himself”....or something like that. (he said it in dutch, of course)
