Anybody have this deck? My creative juices are absolutely drained after the long holiday performance season, I like many of the cards in the deck, however I can't begin to imagine how and when to use some of them....after some time away I will be fine and come up with some material...just looking for someone with the deck that would help me get my creative juices flowing again...or is there a thread around somewhere on the deck that would help me. Maybe someone would be willing to start on in the "routines" section.

a mrs. kingkong fleshlight
a talking toilet seat
the last breath of Henry VIII in a jamjar (signed)
Ben Earl's faint facial hair
A tossed salad done by Nigella Lawson
A real-life cartoon
A stuffed Jiminey Cricket

All those things and more i put on my list to Santa. I got three of them. Life is pretty sweet right now.

Do you want to swap your 'Last Breath of Henry VIII in a Jam Jar'?

I've been after a signed edition for ages. I can do 20 top trumpts cards and a bag of marbles if you're interested?

I can swapsies out a pickled onion jar with the last words of noel coward in them, for them there marbles if you're interested.

If you hold the jar up to your ear like a conch shell - you can here him singing "mad dogs and englishmen".

Great Joe Cocker album that is.

I got a lovely new cushion for my writing chair, some Bishop's Neame Spitfire in a presentation case (real ale) and some red wine, a copy of Casablanca, a scarf, a USB vacuum cleaner, and a new address book.

This morning, I also caught someone from Italy apparently trying to scam Books By Tomo. An authentic looking payment notification came through, but the scammer sent it to the wrong email address - the public one people use for contacting Books By Tomo, not the private one I use for PayPal and which receives real payment notifications. Plus I always check that the payment has arrived before I do anything

I wonder how many people "get" that? Hahahaha!!

I didn't get much because I've been naughty this year. I got Christmas money which I may well spend on that difficult clip-shift DVD I've been ranting on about...

Magic related I got...

12 Decks of Bikes
The Art of Astonishment Volume 1
Sankey's Best Card Magic
45 by Jay Sankey

I'm really happy with the Art of Astonishment, it has so much material in it and, from what I have read so far, most of it I will use. I might even buy volumes 2 and 3 eventually or even sooner considering my birthday is in just over 2 weeks.

Non-magic related I got some CDs and some money; which I will probably spend on a new watch.

Magic Related Items:

Absolute Magic (I had been reading a friends, now I have my own copy!)
Pure Effect (I had been reading a friends, now I have my own copy!)
Another copy of Erdnase (they wear out so quickly)

I got Erdnase for the first time this christmas. Additionally I received
a card mat (? I don't know if it is the correct name. It's the thing you make card tricks on)
the spongeball toolbox from Dacri (which kept me up half of the night on christmas evening)
and born standing up from Steve Martin.

I also got a contact juggling ball.
