It is Tuesday, December 6th, 2016, and this is episode 47, a backside of magic.

This episode is brought to you by gift card recyclers.

Gift card recyclers can help you do more with your depleted gift cards than just using them to apply peanut butter to toast.

Their team of experts can take your cards and use them to cover your pool, shingle your roof, or teach your dog to identify number patterns and rectangular shapes.

Gift card recyclers are also trained to help with persuading your friends and family

To make an appointment for a consultation and learn how to make a toupee out of gift card

scratch-off shavings, visit them on the web at www.w.oldplastic.gov.com.

And when he last asked a cast member, which was over a year ago,
