If this is a bit confusing to some or cryptoquotes are new to you; you may wish to try the link below to get a feel for them. It is a rather easy puzzle with the names of common soda drinks encrypted.
http://www.threadbender.com/cryptoquiz.html Once you get the hang of it you will start to notice patterns in the cryptoquotes such as: ARWA which is a 4 letter word that begins and ends with the same letter, so in this case this word is most likely 'that'. When I do this online I look for encrypted words 'that' and 'people' patterns as most quotes are about people. In our case you will most likely see a lot of 'magicians' or 'magic' encrypted words. Once you figure out a few words the rest is normal sentence context patterns. For the record I suck at Crosswords but I pick up patterns easily. So I will keep this up as long as we have players.

"E" is the most common letter in the Engłish language. I'm sure the frequency table has changed since I looked at it as a kid, but at the top, it was something like ETAONRS

"L" was helpful, but what clinched it was the name of the magician making the quote. I had two false starts, but once I figured out who "YCUUCK" was, it was smooth sailing. I haven't done one of these for years! Thanks.
