Challenge 801: Amusez-vous avec Garcimore
I spotted this box in a flea market in France last year, back in the days when we were allowed to go out in public.

I have no idea who Garcimore is, and I can't imagine what his act could be that involves a tuba and an array of white wildlife. Even more perplexingly, I can't imagine what could possibly be inside the box.

Care to enlighten me?

High res is here.

Hey! We are back in business! Needs a refresh though. And I can't log out. Check error log, reboot server, add more memory, cross fingers?

Apparemment il est un prestidigitateur Belge!!

Another of your famous Belgian jokes Steve?

You are quite right. Just been through my history to check the reference to his being Belgian and have found it. It was a mistake on my part. I won't tell you how. It would be just too humiliating and embarrassing.

Given your talent for researching first, doubtless you will have discovered the real contents, as have I.

Not a lot of use ..........

First cab off the rank this week. I had absolutely no idea where or how this one was going. However, this is how it ended up..

Anna, good idea, and nicely done.
I'm like you, have NO IDEA where I am going with this one or where I will end up.I have some pieces put together and still trying to make it presentable or logical - I hope.

Nice Anna. Made me smile. I also am completely at a loss as to what to do with this amusing but rather underwhelming magician.

I am currently taking advantage of enforced idleness to study. I have been going through two of Adobes's Classroom in a Book Series (disappointing) and am now completely immersed in learning Affinity Publisher. I am a deeply passionate cook (I have an outrageous professional kitchen) as are both my sons who got it from me. They have been urging me for a long time to get my act together and get all my recipes into a book. This seems the perfect opportunity. So far Publisher looks perfect.

So it possible that, most unusually for me, I may give this week a miss unless some inspiration comes out of the blue.

Not just fun, but pitch perfect for period and style too.

Very good, Gordon, with appropriate silly music.

Re: Challenge 801: Amusez-vous avec Garcimore
Thanks everyone; I enjoyed the silliness of this one.

Michael, I knew that I wanted some kind of silly music but had no idea what that was going to be. When the animation was almost complete I thought I ought to see what I could find. Literally the very first and only piece I listened to was this piece. It just seemed perfect.
