House rejects Reagan's bid for contra aid
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The House of Representatives yesterday rejected President Reagan's appeal for $100 million for the Nicaraguan rebels battling the Sandinista government, slapping aside his offer to hold back some military aid during a new bid for peace talks.
In a statement read by presidential spokesman Larry Speakes, Reagan said the 222-210 defeat must be reversed.

Wednesday to withhold all but crucially needed military supplies for 90 days while pursuing peace talks with the Sandinistas.
Alan Cranson of California, the assistant Senate Democratic leader, forecast the House vote could spur anti-aid sentiment and reported votes had begun shifting within hours.
From an initial tally of 49 for, 40 against and 11 undecided on the initial $100 million package, Cranston said a second count showed 48-41 for the aid with 11 undecided.
Cranston's count showed 43 Republicans and five Democrats supporting Reagan, with 34 Democrats and seven Republicans opposing the aid. Among the undecided, he said five were leaning against.

Netherworld images vanish when magic,comedy blend

By Grant W. Butler
Kansan Magazine writer
It's a vision of strange, eerie and reclusive men.
The title of magician conjures up visions of mysterious, moustached men who peer into crystal balls, summon spirits from the dead and pull rabbits out of top hats.
Jack Armstrong, a Lawrence magician and the owner of Doc Bullywhack's Conjuring Shoppe, 145 Yorkshire Dr., shatters that image when he takes the stage.
"I used to do a routine where I was Julia Child and I had to quickly go into drag by throwing on a dress and a wig," he said. "I'd then go into Julia Child's voice to save the card trick because Jack couldn't find the card.
"So Julia comes out and takes the deck of cards and throws them into a bowl and then produces eggs out of the air. She breaks them up and makes a big mess, you know, mix the deck with an electric mixer."
Armstrong's Julia Child would take a piece of bread and dip it in the mess of mangled cards and oo, and place it in a toaster.
When the toast popped up, the card would be inside the bread.
The act got even more complex.
"There for a while it developed into a three-person act." Armstrong said. "My wife Carol was in it and another guy, and Julia is having a contest with Carol to try to outdo each other.
"I'm trying to produce a live chicken and I can't seem to do it. I keep coming up with rubber chickens. So I take this rubber chicken and throw it in a box and this other guy and I fill it full of swords. We open it up and the rubber chickens have vanished, and now there's a box of Kentucky Fried Chicken all burned up in there."
Armstrong then puts the fried chicken back in the box and produces 16 rubber chickens. The act ends with his wife coming out in a chicken suit.
"It was getting pretty Monty Pythonish." he said.
Armstrong is one of about a dozen Lawrence magicians who supplement their everyday incomes by performing feats of apparent magic.
simple card tricks done when he was young, Armstrong began his magic career in 1978. It was a return to something that he had loved as a child and a way to earn more money than what he makes as an insurance underwriter.
"I started out doing sleight of hand, but you get to a point where you're asked to do a show," Armstrong said. "You need to go out and big bigger things than card tricks. You can't do a card trick for a hundred people. Well, you can, but not very well."
With the exception of a few
For Jim Klayder, a graduate teaching assistant in computer science, small sleight-of-hand tricks have a greater sense of magic to the audience than larger tricks.
"I do stand-up shows, and those are nice because people are willing to pay more money for those." Klayder said. "But small tricks seem the most like magic."
Klayder first found out about magic from a weekly reader in elementary school where he saw
