IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


A magician, who was a "little" jealous, thought that every time he do
a magic show, he might put a spell in his castle, where lives is wife,
staying there until he finished his work. Each an every day, he put 
this spell to make sure that no one could get into his wonderful house 
and, at a glance, cross the look of the beautiful magic loving eyes, 
of is sparkling blondy wife. But one day ... :-)



DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


This was an inspiration I had when the fabulous illusionist David
Copperfield came to our town last year; he went at "Le Chateau 
Frontenac's hotel", with his girlfriend, the sparkling Claudia 
Schiffer. I was wondering if Claudia will stay at the hotel or
will assist to another show of his lover... However, I use the 
most common primitives in my .INC file, which is obviously and 
exclusively loaded of boxes, cones and supperellipsoids. No tricks 
in there, except the magic of Povray's 3D raytracing.
