Newcastle, UK. Police are investigating the disappearance of a magician in Newcastle. The man, Jerry Russell is said to be 6' 3" in his top-hat and disappeared after an impromptu magic performance at the local bingo hall. Local lady, Doris Wilson told us:

"He was proper good. Treated us to this little show in between bingo games, brought his own magical box and everything. Anyway, so at one point he stepped into this big wooden box all covered in stars and moons and the like. Twenty minutes later we're still waiting for something to happen.

Then someone went and knocked on the box and it fell over revealing only his magicians hat! I'm an old lady you know, so I wet myself. Luckily I was wearing my lucky pants which stink of wee so much anyway, no-one actually noticed!"

The man is tall and thin, dark around the eyes and pale skinned. Friends of the man have been unable to contact any relatives so if you are able to help, please get in touch via this website.

"It's all a bit ironic, isn't it?" said one friend. "You know, being a magician and all. Then disappearing. Properly disappearing. You couldn't make it up!"

Your classy Laughsend reporter disagrees, of course. Police officials have so far (and quite mysteriously, in my opinion) refused to comment on the disappearance although they are said to be checking mental hospitals in the area for reports of missing strait-jackets.

Oh, and for those interested, I can confirm that Mrs Wilson did smell like urine...but not necessarily her own.
