		Actor Sir Ian McKellen, who plays the wizard Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings, met the Wizard of Christchurch on Monday and picked up more than a few tips about enchanting an audience.
		Standing outside the Cathedral in a cold drizzle, the conversation between the Wizard and the star was rather lopsided and ranged far and wide.
		Their talk touched on honour, acting, gimmickry, the subjectivity of reality, humour and postmodernism, wizards as sex objects ("hence your hat perhaps," Sir Ian said), Anglo-Saxon mythology and the wizard Merlin, shamen and priests, agriculture and emasculation, Victorian values, the monarchy, and disappearing in puffs of smoke.
