This is a brief addition to say that it is a huge coincidence that on the same day I name-checked Vanishing Inc as the magic shop which would probably outlast others in a crumbling economy, it had a fire take out their warehouse and HQ. Even greater coincidence is that that same post mentioned another magic shop burning down shortly after I visited it.
I swear I am neither psychic, clairvoyant or an arsonist.
I may just be cursed.
Vanishing Inc is still trading and even declared a fire sale on downloads to raise money for rebuilding. Like I said before – use ’em or lose ’em.
