Them where the day's! Ever since I was kid I wanted to be a coyboy. 
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

While it may be too late, or impractical, for some to become bonafide cowboys at this late stage, I think I have found the ideal outfit for newbie and/or wannabe cowboys who want to experience the feel of the Old West in the privacy of their living rooms. As an added plus, the handguns are certified legal in the UK and many European countries.

I like to break out the 1894 and pretend I'm Chuck Conners as "The Rifleman".

As the journalist Edward Smith pointed out in his 1923 volume, Confessions of a Con Man, “every development of civilization, every social change, every notable invention brings to life a fresh manner of parting the sucker and his money. It may be and usually is only a disguised evolution of an older swindle, but it is new to the victim and therefore effective.
There are some good old books at that site.

Yeah, but those "holdouts" ain't holdouts.
Mr. Quackenbush believes that there is no such thing as a good magic trick.

I should also point out, for the sake of accuracy and completeness that the guns at the website address given in my post of Apr 2, 2012 3:27pm above are not real guns either. However, they seem to go hand in hand with the cowboy outfit shown, so if any BB member decides to buy the outfit, he might as well get the guns also as they are included at no extra charge.
For the convenience of the very serious and involved reader, here is the link again: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000VS2W7U/ref=asc_df_B000VS2W7U1841520?smid=A1LDE1S76N6C2Z&tag=nextagusmp0353637-20&linkCode=asn&creative=395105&creativeASIN=B000VS2W7U
Just another helpful hint, guys.
