No I'm not a magician, but some new knives, arrowheads, necklaces and other collectibles are going to appear soon on my website.  What am I talking about?  I went to an estate sale of a guy who was big into lapidary.  I didn't think it possible but he had more rocks than me, even opal.  It was kind of humbling.  But I got out of control and brought home all kinds of exotic rocks to flint knap.  At one point me and another  flintknapper got in a wrestling match when we both reached for a chunk of flint.  I had the advantage.  Just pulled a moose antler billet from my pocket and gave him a thump on the forehead.  He apologized and let go.  Yup, I know what you are wondering.   Of course I have a permit to carry a concealed moose antler billet.

Now I realize how much work I have made for myself.  Looks like I'll be flint knapping, breaking rocks in the hot sun.  Woo-hoooo!  I see gem quality arrowheads, jewelry and knives in all of it.  Now that's inspiration.
