The RevenantI have a great uncle who has a wonderful Southern plantation house in Water Valley
Mississippi On our way to Florida we decided to spend the night there I always liked thehouse and how it made you feel like you had stepped back in time There is a ballroom
upstairs where my wife and I were able to do the tango and waltz It really is a beautiful old
house After everyone went to bed (which was around 800 since my great uncle and aunt
are in their 80rsquos) I decided to look through the old library This is one of those libraries that
has bookshelves from the floor to the ceiling All of the bookshelves are full of books and
since I love books I would spend a lot of
time in that room
One particular book caught my eye Itwas an old leather bound book that was
worn I opened the book and breathed in
the old musty smell that accompanies
these old books
As I turned the pages I was surprised at
what I found It was a book about
hunting vampires It looked like someone
had found the book and made comments
about the information in the book I was
particularly intrigued as that person appeared to know something about magic
Here is one of the entries in the book for how to identify a corpse that is a vampire

How to Detect the RevenantBy Way of Bone
It is commonly known that the bodies of the revenant are highly combustible These creatures seem to excrete an oily substance from their skin and perhaps this contributes to the great conflagration that occurs when fire is applied to their
bodiesIf you have managed to obtain a bone fragment from the creature there isanother test that can be done to confirm that they are not amoung the living
Using a mortar and pestle finely grind some of the bones of the revenant Once the bones are finely ground hold them over a candle a foot or so above the flameLightly sprinkle the bones and you will have a great fire if the bones are indeed
from the revenantFurthermore there will be stench like that of death following the fire
Notes
This one is also easy to do You can show the bone to everyoneand do a false transfer to a mortar and pestle Simply hold the bone
in your hand As you turn your hand down use your thumb to hold
onto the bone
8182019 Old Bones by Paul Prater
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullold-bones-by-paul-prater 715
983095
Let the bone lightly hit the side of the mortar to make a
sound like the bone has dropped into the mortar This strengthens the
illusion of placing the bone into the mortar As for the flame powdered coffee creamer lightly sprinkled over
a fire will produce a great flame As for the smell finely cut bits
of hair will do nicely
I am sure that in the time of the author he used some otherchemical such as saltpeter (potassium nitrate) which is still available
in pharmacies and is commonly used as an accelerant in pyrotechnics
However if we are talking about abominations why not use that
abomination to coffee powdered creamer It is cheap readily available
and works well
Oh yes I almost forgot How do you get the creamer in the
mortar It was in there all along No one ever said you have to
show anyone the inside

BOO BAIT
The doorbell rang and the man opened the door There was a group of ghosts and goblins
with their orange plastic jack orsquo lanterns brimming with candy
ldquoTrick or treatrdquo the shouted in unison
The man looked past the kids off in the distance He jerked his head to the left and then
back to the right All of the kids were watching him
ldquoDid you see the ghostrdquo
Some of the kids shrieked with mock fear most of them were laughing
ldquoYou didnrsquot see himrdquo
ldquoHe isnrsquot anyone to worry about His name is Boobert and he is my friend I met him one
night while on a walk I ran into him on a dead end streetrdquo
The man waited for the obligatory moans
ldquoHe is actually pretty shy Every now and then he will come out to play but not very often
I do have something that sometimes gets him to come out Do you want to see himrdquo
The kids all responded with wild yelling They were high on candy corns and other sugary
treats
ldquoI will need someone to help merdquo
The magician picked out a green faced witch She came up and stood beside him
ldquoI have something very special in this little container Can you read what it saysrdquo
The girl took the container and read ldquoBoo Baitrdquo
ldquoThatrsquos right this is Boo Bait This is how you catch a ghostrdquo
ldquoPlease open the container of boo bait Take a look inside You see the baitrdquo
The witch looked up and shook her head no

ldquoAre you sure Look really
hard Do you see the bait
in thererdquo
This time the girl shook
her head yes
ldquoMuch better I want you
to get a little pinch of the
bait and drop it into my
hand I want to see if we
can lure him into my
handrdquo
The man made a little
motion with his hand He
then looked into his hand
and slowly opened it The
magician showed it to be
empty
ldquoI know what the problem
is We didnrsquot call him We
need to say ldquoHey
Boobertrdquo I need everyone
to help me call him On
the count of three letrsquos call him Onehelliptwohellipthreehelliprdquo
The kids all yelled
The man looked in his hand and then looked surprised
ldquoDid anyone see him fly in there No Lookrdquo
The magician pulled out a little white ghost and all of the kids squealed with delight

METHOD
I was asked to perform at a friendrsquos childrsquos Halloween party Honestly I donrsquot particularly
enjoy doing shows for children and generally avoid them But this was a friend and this was
a Halloween party I couldnrsquot resist so I performed as a vampire and everything was done
with a ghostly theme This is done with the use of a thumb tip
The container that says ldquoBoo Baitrdquo is a metal gum container from Starbucks I painted it black
and then wrote ldquoBoo Baitrdquo with a gold paint pen You can also design a logo on the computer
and then print it on sticker paper and stick it on your box
The ghost is just a small white silk I used a Sharpie to draw on eyes and a mouth
As far as the timing I donrsquot transfer the thumb tip to the hand until after showing it empty
Moving the hand and slowly showing it empty builds up suspense When I show it emptyeveryone relaxes focus shifts and then I quickly put the thumb tip into the hand as I am
begin talking again Simple and fun

Everyone at the party knew that the guy in the pirate costume was a magician Even those
who didnrsquot know him knew from people talking Everyone anticipated that he would do
something fun since it was Halloween Eventually the host asked if he had anything to
perform
ldquoNot reallyrdquo he answered He turned to walk off
ldquoWait I do have something I want to show yourdquo
ldquoI went to New Orleans recently and while I was there I saw the tomb of Marie Laveau
Marie Laveau was known as a wise woman a healer a charlatan and a voodoo queen Shewas known as many things It was also said that she lived beyond the grave While her
funeral was well attended people claimed that she continued to be seen after her death Not
only seen but that she continued to work as wellrdquo
ldquoI have read about Marie Laveau and was eager to visit her gravesite when I was in New
Orleans I went with part of a tour but I wandered off just long enough to mark the grave
with the three XXXrsquos and made my wishrdquo
The pirate paused
ldquoWell maybe I stayed a bit longer I saw a key a piece of brick and a shell all left at her
crypt They were gifts for her but I grabbed them I shouldnrsquot haverdquo
The pirate pulled out a small wooden box with symbols on it The mood in the room started
to change
ldquoYou see I have been seeing things I think I see shadows moving out of the corner of my
eye I see a woman a dark woman in a white dress I turn to look and she is gone I donrsquot
think anyone is really there The nightmareshellipthey are vivid I wonrsquot describe themrdquo
ldquoI think that I have been cursed I also think that I have a solution If we can draw her spirit
here tonight I think I can trap it I need everyone to helprdquo
ldquoI need two people to helprdquo

The RevenantI have a great uncle who has a wonderful Southern plantation house in Water Valley
Mississippi On our way to Florida we decided to spend the night there I always liked thehouse and how it made you feel like you had stepped back in time There is a ballroom
upstairs where my wife and I were able to do the tango and waltz It really is a beautiful old
house After everyone went to bed (which was around 800 since my great uncle and aunt
are in their 80rsquos) I decided to look through the old library This is one of those libraries that
has bookshelves from the floor to the ceiling All of the bookshelves are full of books and
since I love books I would spend a lot of
time in that room
One particular book caught my eye Itwas an old leather bound book that was
worn I opened the book and breathed in
the old musty smell that accompanies
these old books
As I turned the pages I was surprised at
what I found It was a book about
hunting vampires It looked like someone
had found the book and made comments
about the information in the book I was
particularly intrigued as that person appeared to know something about magic
Here is one of the entries in the book for how to identify a corpse that is a vampire

How to Detect the RevenantBy Way of Bone
It is commonly known that the bodies of the revenant are highly combustible These creatures seem to excrete an oily substance from their skin and perhaps this contributes to the great conflagration that occurs when fire is applied to their
bodiesIf you have managed to obtain a bone fragment from the creature there isanother test that can be done to confirm that they are not amoung the living
Using a mortar and pestle finely grind some of the bones of the revenant Once the bones are finely ground hold them over a candle a foot or so above the flameLightly sprinkle the bones and you will have a great fire if the bones are indeed
from the revenantFurthermore there will be stench like that of death following the fire
Notes
This one is also easy to do You can show the bone to everyoneand do a false transfer to a mortar and pestle Simply hold the bone
in your hand As you turn your hand down use your thumb to hold
onto the bone
8182019 Old Bones by Paul Prater
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullold-bones-by-paul-prater 715
983095
Let the bone lightly hit the side of the mortar to make a
sound like the bone has dropped into the mortar This strengthens the
illusion of placing the bone into the mortar As for the flame powdered coffee creamer lightly sprinkled over
a fire will produce a great flame As for the smell finely cut bits
of hair will do nicely
I am sure that in the time of the author he used some otherchemical such as saltpeter (potassium nitrate) which is still available
in pharmacies and is commonly used as an accelerant in pyrotechnics
However if we are talking about abominations why not use that
abomination to coffee powdered creamer It is cheap readily available
and works well
Oh yes I almost forgot How do you get the creamer in the
mortar It was in there all along No one ever said you have to
show anyone the inside

BOO BAIT
The doorbell rang and the man opened the door There was a group of ghosts and goblins
with their orange plastic jack orsquo lanterns brimming with candy
ldquoTrick or treatrdquo the shouted in unison
The man looked past the kids off in the distance He jerked his head to the left and then
back to the right All of the kids were watching him
ldquoDid you see the ghostrdquo
Some of the kids shrieked with mock fear most of them were laughing
ldquoYou didnrsquot see himrdquo
ldquoHe isnrsquot anyone to worry about His name is Boobert and he is my friend I met him one
night while on a walk I ran into him on a dead end streetrdquo
The man waited for the obligatory moans
ldquoHe is actually pretty shy Every now and then he will come out to play but not very often
I do have something that sometimes gets him to come out Do you want to see himrdquo
The kids all responded with wild yelling They were high on candy corns and other sugary
treats
ldquoI will need someone to help merdquo
The magician picked out a green faced witch She came up and stood beside him
ldquoI have something very special in this little container Can you read what it saysrdquo
The girl took the container and read ldquoBoo Baitrdquo
ldquoThatrsquos right this is Boo Bait This is how you catch a ghostrdquo
ldquoPlease open the container of boo bait Take a look inside You see the baitrdquo
The witch looked up and shook her head no

ldquoAre you sure Look really

This time the girl shook
her head yes
ldquoMuch better I want you
to get a little pinch of the
bait and drop it into my
hand I want to see if we
can lure him into my
handrdquo
The man made a little
motion with his hand He
then looked into his hand
and slowly opened it The
magician showed it to be
empty
ldquoI know what the problem
is We didnrsquot call him We
need to say ldquoHey
Boobertrdquo I need everyone
to help me call him On
the count of three letrsquos call him Onehelliptwohellipthreehelliprdquo
The kids all yelled
The man looked in his hand and then looked surprised
ldquoDid anyone see him fly in there No Lookrdquo
The magician pulled out a little white ghost and all of the kids squealed with delight

METHOD
I was asked to perform at a friendrsquos childrsquos Halloween party Honestly I donrsquot particularly
enjoy doing shows for children and generally avoid them But this was a friend and this was
a Halloween party I couldnrsquot resist so I performed as a vampire and everything was done
with a ghostly theme This is done with the use of a thumb tip
The container that says ldquoBoo Baitrdquo is a metal gum container from Starbucks I painted it black
and then wrote ldquoBoo Baitrdquo with a gold paint pen You can also design a logo on the computer
and then print it on sticker paper and stick it on your box
The ghost is just a small white silk I used a Sharpie to draw on eyes and a mouth
As far as the timing I donrsquot transfer the thumb tip to the hand until after showing it empty
Moving the hand and slowly showing it empty builds up suspense When I show it emptyeveryone relaxes focus shifts and then I quickly put the thumb tip into the hand as I am
begin talking again Simple and fun

Everyone at the party knew that the guy in the pirate costume was a magician Even those
who didnrsquot know him knew from people talking Everyone anticipated that he would do
something fun since it was Halloween Eventually the host asked if he had anything to
perform
ldquoNot reallyrdquo he answered He turned to walk off
ldquoWait I do have something I want to show yourdquo
ldquoI went to New Orleans recently and while I was there I saw the tomb of Marie Laveau
Marie Laveau was known as a wise woman a healer a charlatan and a voodoo queen Shewas known as many things It was also said that she lived beyond the grave While her
funeral was well attended people claimed that she continued to be seen after her death Not
only seen but that she continued to work as wellrdquo
ldquoI have read about Marie Laveau and was eager to visit her gravesite when I was in New
Orleans I went with part of a tour but I wandered off just long enough to mark the grave
with the three XXXrsquos and made my wishrdquo
The pirate paused
ldquoWell maybe I stayed a bit longer I saw a key a piece of brick and a shell all left at her
crypt They were gifts for her but I grabbed them I shouldnrsquot haverdquo
The pirate pulled out a small wooden box with symbols on it The mood in the room started
to change
ldquoYou see I have been seeing things I think I see shadows moving out of the corner of my
eye I see a woman a dark woman in a white dress I turn to look and she is gone I donrsquot
think anyone is really there The nightmareshellipthey are vivid I wonrsquot describe themrdquo
ldquoI think that I have been cursed I also think that I have a solution If we can draw her spirit
here tonight I think I can trap it I need everyone to helprdquo

The RevenantI have a great uncle who has a wonderful Southern plantation house in Water Valley
Mississippi On our way to Florida we decided to spend the night there I always liked thehouse and how it made you feel like you had stepped back in time There is a ballroom
upstairs where my wife and I were able to do the tango and waltz It really is a beautiful old
house After everyone went to bed (which was around 800 since my great uncle and aunt
are in their 80rsquos) I decided to look through the old library This is one of those libraries that
has bookshelves from the floor to the ceiling All of the bookshelves are full of books and
since I love books I would spend a lot of
time in that room
One particular book caught my eye Itwas an old leather bound book that was
worn I opened the book and breathed in
the old musty smell that accompanies
these old books
As I turned the pages I was surprised at
what I found It was a book about
hunting vampires It looked like someone
had found the book and made comments
about the information in the book I was
particularly intrigued as that person appeared to know something about magic
Here is one of the entries in the book for how to identify a corpse that is a vampire

How to Detect the RevenantBy Way of Bone
It is commonly known that the bodies of the revenant are highly combustible These creatures seem to excrete an oily substance from their skin and perhaps this contributes to the great conflagration that occurs when fire is applied to their
bodiesIf you have managed to obtain a bone fragment from the creature there isanother test that can be done to confirm that they are not amoung the living
Using a mortar and pestle finely grind some of the bones of the revenant Once the bones are finely ground hold them over a candle a foot or so above the flameLightly sprinkle the bones and you will have a great fire if the bones are indeed
from the revenantFurthermore there will be stench like that of death following the fire
Notes
This one is also easy to do You can show the bone to everyoneand do a false transfer to a mortar and pestle Simply hold the bone
in your hand As you turn your hand down use your thumb to hold
onto the bone
8182019 Old Bones by Paul Prater
httpslidepdfcomreaderfullold-bones-by-paul-prater 715
983095
Let the bone lightly hit the side of the mortar to make a
sound like the bone has dropped into the mortar This strengthens the
illusion of placing the bone into the mortar As for the flame powdered coffee creamer lightly sprinkled over
a fire will produce a great flame As for the smell finely cut bits
of hair will do nicely
I am sure that in the time of the author he used some otherchemical such as saltpeter (potassium nitrate) which is still available
in pharmacies and is commonly used as an accelerant in pyrotechnics
However if we are talking about abominations why not use that
abomination to coffee powdered creamer It is cheap readily available
and works well
Oh yes I almost forgot How do you get the creamer in the
mortar It was in there all along No one ever said you have to
show anyone the inside

BOO BAIT
The doorbell rang and the man opened the door There was a group of ghosts and goblins
with their orange plastic jack orsquo lanterns brimming with candy
ldquoTrick or treatrdquo the shouted in unison
The man looked past the kids off in the distance He jerked his head to the left and then
back to the right All of the kids were watching him
ldquoDid you see the ghostrdquo
Some of the kids shrieked with mock fear most of them were laughing
ldquoYou didnrsquot see himrdquo
ldquoHe isnrsquot anyone to worry about His name is Boobert and he is my friend I met him one
night while on a walk I ran into him on a dead end streetrdquo
The man waited for the obligatory moans
ldquoHe is actually pretty shy Every now and then he will come out to play but not very often
I do have something that sometimes gets him to come out Do you want to see himrdquo
The kids all responded with wild yelling They were high on candy corns and other sugary
treats
ldquoI will need someone to help merdquo
The magician picked out a green faced witch She came up and stood beside him
ldquoI have something very special in this little container Can you read what it saysrdquo
The girl took the container and read ldquoBoo Baitrdquo
ldquoThatrsquos right this is Boo Bait This is how you catch a ghostrdquo
ldquoPlease open the container of boo bait Take a look inside You see the baitrdquo
The witch looked up and shook her head no

This time the girl shook
her head yes
ldquoMuch better I want you
to get a little pinch of the
bait and drop it into my
hand I want to see if we
can lure him into my
handrdquo
The man made a little
motion with his hand He
then looked into his hand
and slowly opened it The
magician showed it to be
empty
ldquoI know what the problem
is We didnrsquot call him We
need to say ldquoHey
Boobertrdquo I need everyone
to help me call him On
the count of three letrsquos call him Onehelliptwohellipthreehelliprdquo
The kids all yelled
The man looked in his hand and then looked surprised
ldquoDid anyone see him fly in there No Lookrdquo
The magician pulled out a little white ghost and all of the kids squealed with delight

METHOD
I was asked to perform at a friendrsquos childrsquos Halloween party Honestly I donrsquot particularly
enjoy doing shows for children and generally avoid them But this was a friend and this was
a Halloween party I couldnrsquot resist so I performed as a vampire and everything was done
with a ghostly theme This is done with the use of a thumb tip
The container that says ldquoBoo Baitrdquo is a metal gum container from Starbucks I painted it black
and then wrote ldquoBoo Baitrdquo with a gold paint pen You can also design a logo on the computer
and then print it on sticker paper and stick it on your box
The ghost is just a small white silk I used a Sharpie to draw on eyes and a mouth
As far as the timing I donrsquot transfer the thumb tip to the hand until after showing it empty
Moving the hand and slowly showing it empty builds up suspense When I show it emptyeveryone relaxes focus shifts and then I quickly put the thumb tip into the hand as I am
begin talking again Simple and fun

ldquoNot reallyrdquo he answered He turned to walk off
ldquoWait I do have something I want to show yourdquo
ldquoI went to New Orleans recently and while I was there I saw the tomb of Marie Laveau
Marie Laveau was known as a wise woman a healer a charlatan and a voodoo queen Shewas known as many things It was also said that she lived beyond the grave While her
funeral was well attended people claimed that she continued to be seen after her death Not
only seen but that she continued to work as wellrdquo
ldquoI have read about Marie Laveau and was eager to visit her gravesite when I was in New
Orleans I went with part of a tour but I wandered off just long enough to mark the grave
with the three XXXrsquos and made my wishrdquo
The pirate paused
ldquoWell maybe I stayed a bit longer I saw a key a piece of brick and a shell all left at her
crypt They were gifts for her but I grabbed them I shouldnrsquot haverdquo
The pirate pulled out a small wooden box with symbols on it The mood in the room started
to change
ldquoYou see I have been seeing things I think I see shadows moving out of the corner of my
eye I see a woman a dark woman in a white dress I turn to look and she is gone I donrsquot
think anyone is really there The nightmareshellipthey are vivid I wonrsquot describe themrdquo

ldquoI went to New Orleans recently and while I was there I saw the tomb of Marie Laveau
Marie Laveau was known as a wise woman a healer a charlatan and a voodoo queen Shewas known as many things It was also said that she lived beyond the grave While her
funeral was well attended people claimed that she continued to be seen after her death Not
only seen but that she continued to work as wellrdquo
ldquoI have read about Marie Laveau and was eager to visit her gravesite when I was in New
Orleans I went with part of a tour but I wandered off just long enough to mark the grave
with the three XXXrsquos and made my wishrdquo
The pirate paused
ldquoWell maybe I stayed a bit longer I saw a key a piece of brick and a shell all left at her
crypt They were gifts for her but I grabbed them I shouldnrsquot haverdquo
The pirate pulled out a small wooden box with symbols on it The mood in the room started
to change
ldquoYou see I have been seeing things I think I see shadows moving out of the corner of my
eye I see a woman a dark woman in a white dress I turn to look and she is gone I donrsquot
think anyone is really there The nightmareshellipthey are vivid I wonrsquot describe themrdquo
ldquoI think that I have been cursed I also think that I have a solution If we can draw her spirit
here tonight I think I can trap it I need everyone to helprdquo

BOO BAIT
The doorbell rang and the man opened the door There was a group of ghosts and goblins
with their orange plastic jack orsquo lanterns brimming with candy
ldquoTrick or treatrdquo the shouted in unison
The man looked past the kids off in the distance He jerked his head to the left and then
back to the right All of the kids were watching him
ldquoDid you see the ghostrdquo
Some of the kids shrieked with mock fear most of them were laughing
ldquoYou didnrsquot see himrdquo
ldquoHe isnrsquot anyone to worry about His name is Boobert and he is my friend I met him one
night while on a walk I ran into him on a dead end streetrdquo
The man waited for the obligatory moans
ldquoHe is actually pretty shy Every now and then he will come out to play but not very often
I do have something that sometimes gets him to come out Do you want to see himrdquo
The kids all responded with wild yelling They were high on candy corns and other sugary
treats
ldquoI will need someone to help merdquo
The magician picked out a green faced witch She came up and stood beside him
ldquoI have something very special in this little container Can you read what it saysrdquo
The girl took the container and read ldquoBoo Baitrdquo
ldquoThatrsquos right this is Boo Bait This is how you catch a ghostrdquo
ldquoPlease open the container of boo bait Take a look inside You see the baitrdquo
The witch looked up and shook her head no

This time the girl shook
her head yes
ldquoMuch better I want you
to get a little pinch of the
bait and drop it into my
hand I want to see if we
can lure him into my
handrdquo
The man made a little
motion with his hand He
then looked into his hand
and slowly opened it The
magician showed it to be
empty
ldquoI know what the problem
is We didnrsquot call him We
need to say ldquoHey

The kids all yelled
The man looked in his hand and then looked surprised

METHOD
I was asked to perform at a friendrsquos childrsquos Halloween party Honestly I donrsquot particularly
enjoy doing shows for children and generally avoid them But this was a friend and this was
a Halloween party I couldnrsquot resist so I performed as a vampire and everything was done
with a ghostly theme This is done with the use of a thumb tip
The container that says ldquoBoo Baitrdquo is a metal gum container from Starbucks I painted it black
and then wrote ldquoBoo Baitrdquo with a gold paint pen You can also design a logo on the computer
and then print it on sticker paper and stick it on your box
The ghost is just a small white silk I used a Sharpie to draw on eyes and a mouth
As far as the timing I donrsquot transfer the thumb tip to the hand until after showing it empty
Moving the hand and slowly showing it empty builds up suspense When I show it emptyeveryone relaxes focus shifts and then I quickly put the thumb tip into the hand as I am
begin talking again Simple and fun

Everyone at the party knew that the guy in the pirate costume was a magician Even those
who didnrsquot know him knew from people talking Everyone anticipated that he would do
something fun since it was Halloween Eventually the host asked if he had anything to
perform
ldquoNot reallyrdquo he answered He turned to walk off
ldquoWait I do have something I want to show yourdquo
ldquoI went to New Orleans recently and while I was there I saw the tomb of Marie Laveau
Marie Laveau was known as a wise woman a healer a charlatan and a voodoo queen Shewas known as many things It was also said that she lived beyond the grave While her
funeral was well attended people claimed that she continued to be seen after her death Not
only seen but that she continued to work as wellrdquo
ldquoI have read about Marie Laveau and was eager to visit her gravesite when I was in New
Orleans I went with part of a tour but I wandered off just long enough to mark the grave
with the three XXXrsquos and made my wishrdquo
The pirate paused
ldquoWell maybe I stayed a bit longer I saw a key a piece of brick and a shell all left at her
crypt They were gifts for her but I grabbed them I shouldnrsquot haverdquo
The pirate pulled out a small wooden box with symbols on it The mood in the room started
to change
ldquoYou see I have been seeing things I think I see shadows moving out of the corner of my
eye I see a woman a dark woman in a white dress I turn to look and she is gone I donrsquot
think anyone is really there The nightmareshellipthey are vivid I wonrsquot describe themrdquo
ldquoI think that I have been cursed I also think that I have a solution If we can draw her spirit
here tonight I think I can trap it I need everyone to helprdquo
ldquoI need two people to helprdquo
