Lo! Prof. I.M. Albertus Crank will demonstrate the
mysteries of the quayres as he re-enacts his famous
potting of the ten kettles
being as he is a world class and most utterly excellent handler of those Stoppers and Steppers.

* multiple aedeaguses *
in front of the crowd? We just do not know!!!
Turn up, find out, be AMAZED!
