Ahh, CUPS. I have psychological CUPS. In other words in my mind I have bought lots of tricks. In reality, I can't afford to

My wallet thinks: Not again!

I am thankful to say that my C.U.P.S. now seems to be under control! Went in to a magic shop quite recently and I didn't really feel the urge to buy any magic effects whatsoever! Settled for a nice book and some cards and off I went. Whilst before I didn't mind the odd gaff or gimmick, now I'm starting to feel like I really can't be that bothered with them at all! Of course I might still use the odd one or two here and there, but on the whole - less C.U.P.S.!

Cardza - very nice, only one problem.
Books are much more expensive than gaffs

ok yes i am a definate C.U.P.S sufferer. my bank manager is starting devorce procedings and my switch card has to knock back 12 valiums when it sees me on a magic site. the main problem i find is that even though i convince myself i need that new card gimmick or those gold plated chop cups i tend to find that i buy tricks that end up in the back of my drawer never to see the light of day perform them once and thats it i've had my fix for the day.
if someone could tell me when the next meeting of CUPS is i'll certainly be there and i'll have my switch card out to pay for the membership coz it's something i NEED to have

We need membership cards 
Magic is real, just look around you, some of the most amazing things have no reason, no explanation but are very real.
