8. Love Potion Number 9.5: Find the deepest river you can that flows east. Make sure the water temperature is below 50 degrees. Walk into it chanting your love’s name.

Get up and go home.  Pour three fingers of whiskey into a glass. Serve until you’re no longer in love.

9. French Ghost: Light one white candle. Use the flame from the candle to light one cigarette. Smolder.  Draw a circle of salt around your body. Dust the circle with powdered sugar. Make sure you are in the great room of a Parisian haunted house. Manifest a French apparition.

10. Cold-Pressed Bruce: Find a wizard named Bruce who has wronged you.  Steal his wand, rendering him incapacitated.  Fold him into an industrial printing press with lots of pre-washed leafy greens and whole garlic cloves. Pour the liquid he becomes into a chalice and garnish with crushed ice.
