Don't Try This At Home

The lifelong magician took his little sis on a guided tour of Houdini's Art & Magic at the Skirball, explaining the ins and outs of the Water Torture Cell (pass), the Milk Can (no thankie) and Metamorphosis Trunk (oy gevalt), tight locales that make this lifelong claustrophobe fidgetty to even comprehend.  A companion exhibit covers Jewish Magicians of the Golden Age, with names like the Great Leon.  I'm now contemplating a name upgrade, either to the Great Short Jewish Gal, or Excello,the Short Jewish Gal.  Get your votes in early, before I head over to City Hall to make it official.

    I'm open to suggestions:
    Slitherin the Great - a Short Jewish Girl
    Slitherin- the great, short Jewish Girl
    Slitherin - the Short, Great Jewish Girl Slitherin - the Short Jewish Great Girl
    Slitherin - SJG the Great
    or even
    Slitherin - the SJG; greatest escapist of all
    Probably not a contender
    SJG Slitherin the Great, no really, she is, we mean it, go see her acts of escapism unparalleled in this reality ...
