I would also like to introduce a new member to our CUPS forum: Mr Bobby Cat.

Welcome Bobby Have a magic Cake

Not sure whether the magic cakes are mine but I have been baking.

magic fairy cake anyone?

I also have some nice biscuits which I have iced the letters C.U.P.S on. I thought it would go down well

Excellent, tea or coffee Served in CUPS of course

They look really good greedoniz. You have gone to a lot of trouble today. They say that baking cookies can be very therapeutic for CUPS. I guess you must be rehearsing your domestic duties before you move out on your own.

Nice smell Can't wait to try one

For all those with card C.U.P.S. check out http://www.cards4magic.co.uk/acatalog/D ... rders.html

Thank you for promoting prdoucts in our help group Goes off to pre-order a brick of them

Hi my name is Alex and in the last 24 hours I think I have developed C.U.P.S.

I have placed 6 orders at 4 different online shops probably nearing £200 in total. Most of it is not required.

Reasons for purchase
Brick of bike cards (can never have too many cards)
Stripper and Svengali decks (well, replacing old hardly used ones)
3 Card monte (never done it, got it don't like this version)
Royal road to card magic DVD set (guess I am going back to basics, not sure why yet) (Also I think I already have it in book form)
Junior size TT (might fit better, might not)
Flash paper with added sparkle (fire fire FIRE)
In a flash trick (More fire yay)

Do I qualify as having C.U.P.S

You have it bad. The really awful signs are replacing things that you haven't used much, and buying stuff when you don't know if it's sized correctly.

(I'm guilty on both counts also)

Steverino, the only reason for getting the TT without knowing if it fits is because I had some a few years back that were miles too big so I gave up on the idea and forgot about them, I saw them on a site and thought I would give it a go. As for replacing stuuf thats unused, the main reason for doing this was to get the stripper and svengali decks in bicycle as I now use bike 99% of the time. (look I am trying to justify myself now) lol

Remember!

Admitting there is a problem is the first step towards curing it.

Saying that though I've spent £90 on magic this week.

lol, you're doomed... pseudo-justification is the surest sign of rampant CUPS.

I can nearly go for the bike svangali reasoning, but something doesn't ring true about it.

Do you really need so many different things to work on at once?...

steverino,

The 3 card monte was recomended to me
Royal road to card magic DVD set - want to tidy up a few thing
Junior size TT ok, this is new
Flash paper with added sparkle - restocking
In a flash trick ok, this is new too

Maybe I could justify it as birthday presents to myself?

greedoniz, we need locking up lol
