Phenomonal Pheats of Prestidigitation Phantastically Performed

A brilliant alliteration recently discovered in the book Grimus written by Salman Rushdie. Currently my favorite writer and my favorite quote. PRESTIDIGITATION means to conjure tricks, or to perform magic which conveniently describes both the transformation of a model in hair, makeup and lighting as well as the ability to continue to secure lucrative jobs while in an economic recession.
Also amusing to play upon the alliteration itself ie: Phenomonal Pheats of Procrastination Phantastically Performed refers nicely to taxes or other boring but necessary tasks.
