“From the stage below, Mr. Magic enjoined me to concentrate on a name, “maybe a woman you lied to.” Ouch! Flush with shame, I wrote her name down using a Sharpie and index card Hannah provided. I tried to keep him from seeing what I wrote though I can’t swear he didn’t, and I kept my gaze trained on his hands, alert for signals to his comrades on the stage…All I can tell you is Dennis Diamond announced the name of the lady I’d wronged in front of God and everybody, and I cursed myself for not just writing a fake name on the card.”
