MARTIN AT MERLIN'S

A smorgasbord of my personal favorites merge beautifully in this one simple photograph. You're witnessing a teenage Steve Martin demonstrating a magic trick in Disneyland's Merlin's Magic Shop! The ventriloquist dummies and novelty skulls are just the cherries on top. And it's all happening in the 1960s. Aaaaargh! It's all just too wonderful to comprehend.

This pic came from Martin's new-ish book, Born Standing Up, which I'm really looking forward to reading.
