Parents of High Schools back in the 80's created a chemical free night on graduation night for seniors. To many drinking and driving accidents happened with seniors on graduation nights; so a totally fun night was started to make graduations safe.

Learning the 'art of magic' used to be pasted down from magician to magician, if you didn't already have knowledge & skills you could not find someone in the know to share info, ideas, and tricks with you.
