Nicotine Addict’s Magic Moment

As some type of inspiration to others, a cigarette-smoking magician will close out his 40-year habit by stubbing out 200 cancer sticks in his mouth. Richie Magic will perform the human ashtray feat outside his Queens magic shop tomorrow night. After recently setting an unenviable record for “stuffing 20 lit cigarettes in his mouth in 29 seconds,” the 53-year-old former corrections officer has spent weeks training for his new publicity stunt. This month Magic has eaten more than 2,000 cigarettes, which he admits is disgusting. |NYDN|

Yeah Among A Pile of More Dangerous Drugs Too

After Michael Jackson died, the LAPD searched his bedroom and discovered a heap of prescription drugs like Valium, Temazepam, Lorzaepam, and Diazepam, but most importantly—to CNN—they also found “marijuana.” A whopping “two baggies” of weed were found and although no THC was found in his system, this is still very important. |CNN|

Until last year, Greenpoint’s St. Cecilia church housed an active nunnery, but tonight the church’s closed convent will reopen with new secular inhabitants. 25 artists have taken over the 97-year-old building for “Room Tones,” an exhibition organized by Nathan Spondike. The nuns’ former quarters now showcase individual artists’ work, including paintings, sculptures and film, while common areas feature their collaborations. Like other holy houses repurposed for artistic endeavors, the show’s hours will be limited following tonight’s opening from 6 to 9 PM at 21 Monitor Street.

Naked Muse Demands Justice

The brave young woman who stripped nude at the Met for the sake of art, free speech, and Zach Hyman’s photo project spoke to the Post about her democracy spreading mission. “I want people to have the freedom to express themselves,” said 26-year-old model Kathleen Neill, “I want the city to drop the charges.”She was charged with public lewdness, but having no ID probably didn’t help either. |NYP|

More Animal Photoshop Roadkill Via Kia

kia1kia2

Island of Dr. Moreau advertising—How original. To introduce the new Kia Forte, LA agency David & Goliath scratched their ad-heads for probably about as long as it takes a cheetah to get to full speed (three seconds) to hatch these latest examples of Photoshop Animal Abuse—the poor endangered cheetah has been digitally hacked to death repeatedly by ad hacks in efforts to sell the benefit of speed. In addition to the above Cheetel hybrid, we have the less-interesting looking Equiphant. Here’s your third ad D&G: a combo armadillo and dragonfly—safe and speedy. That should be interesting-looking. Ads scanned from recent general circulation magazines.
