I think Dopers already identified possible locations of wizarding schools in the US. All it takes is a little imagination. Clue: US wizards aren’t better than their UK counterparts in hiding themselves. Some are even household names.
Impudent surfacer ! Dwarf bread never goes stale ! Leave a loaf for a hundred years down a mineshaft and it remains just as edible as when it was baked. More, should it get fossilized.
She was going out with someone, who turned out to be a demonolater and served her a cursed pie. So that he wouldn’t be alone when he gets taken to hell. She was very disappointed that the Girl-Exorcists didn’t, as far as she’s concerned, successfully exorcise her.
The best quote (from this article) is:
Now, hands up anyone who was TRAINED to get drunk and have sex? I must have missed that day at school.
Health class taught us how to figure out how much beer, wine, or liquor we might need for a light, moderate, or heavy intoxication level.
Sex was covered in somewhat less detail but we did get the basics.
Be better to hire her, stick her in the mail room, and stamp her personnel file with INELIGIBLE FOR PROMOTION OR TRANSFER.
Well, better for the world, anyway. I’ll understand if you want to take the attitude that you’re in business to make money, not necessarily to make the world a better place.
Can you link to this programme? I’ve clicked on about every link in the thread, and I can’t find anything about black magic pies.
IOW, “when come back, bring pies…”
Thanks. 
For me at least, training requires practicals - hands on, skill-building, direct experience of the task. Heh.

This pseudo-science crap to swindle confused people out of money really annoys me.
If I didn’t have moral standards, I would get rich myself by setting up the Institute of Levitation (patent pending.)
There would be a website with jargon and fake claims of satisfied clients. A well-researched history of Levitation attempts (including medieval myths, modern magicians and levitation in fiction.)
Fees would be reasonable.
The get-out clause would be in the small print: if you don’t truly believe you can levitate, you’ll fail.
So those who believe they’ve succeeded pay me - and those who lack belief don’t get a refund.
Would it really work?
How gullible are the general public? :smack:
Well, I don’t know about trained per se, but back then my mates and I did trade many an instructional videotape. Our dads were rubbish at hiding them.
I wonder howmuch they charge to check you for sexually transmitted demons.
You would be following an endless line of yogi levitators (not the bear kind) and late 19th century table rising spiritualists
You can sell it as “the drug free way to get high!”
Thanks, but 57 minutes? :eek: Is the pie thing at any specific time you could point me at?
How do you make holy water?
I think it’s about twenty minutes in.
Magnets!

This.
You can point and laugh but these people aren’t dumb idjits. They prey on dumb idjits.
Boil the hell out of it.
The same way you normally “make water”, except you put a crucifix in the beaker.
Well, we were trained on how to have sex; they just didn’t tell us that it was fun.
