Brickbat: For My Next Trick
(Duncan Noakes | Dreamstime.com)
Stuart Brown, a magician in England known as "Magic Stuart," is planning to fight a bill from the Derby City Council for £429 ($584 U.S.). The council says his rabbit, Snowy, needs a license for a performing animal. Brown thinks the fee is too high and that it's unfair to group him with big companies that have lots of animals. He points out that Snowy is not trained and is only used for a few minutes in his shows, which often support charities.
