Teacher Accused of Wizardry

Posted by samzenpus on

Jim Piculas, a substitute teacher in Florida, recently lost his job. The reason he was fired is magically ridiculous. Among other issues he has been accused of Wizardry. That's right, Wizardry. Jim does a 30-second magic trick where a toothpick disappears then reappears. The trick is so good that it has propelled his community 200 years in the past.

      Because it does a really good job of showing how a person is smart, and people are dumb, stupid, panicky animals, and you know it.

    This seems to be bad journalism. The whole story is about how the teacher got fired because of a magic trick but at the end they also quickly say he wasn't following lesson plans and directions. So while the wizardry thing is funny, I doubt it's the whole story.
