How much do you guys spend each month for magical supplies and etc. ?

Erk... I'd be scared to add it up. Better to live in denial I say!!

Simple answer; WAY too much.

At the moment, very little because I'm skint. It also helps that my CUPS in under control, too.

Well i have an option for you (+500$)

I've been really good over the last few months, I've been mainly working on my own ideas so haven't really spent much at all.

I actually spend very little in the way of supplies. I buy a deck of cards from Merlins now and again, and only the occasional bit of learning material.
This month I have current spent £30ish
Next month..... I dread to think.

Yeah next month will be a killer this month I've spent nothing, the previous month I spent £160!

I assumed that I spent almost nothing per month, and then started to work it out. And then stopped and wished you hadn't asked

You won't believe me...

Ah, tell us anyway.

For those interested, I'm in the $50 - $100 (approx £30 - £60) category... But a fair chunk of that is on expendables I use whilst performing as opposed to new effects/books/dvds.

Josh.

For the past three months it's been off the bottom of the scale rather than above the top

Quite low I think over the last few months as I've been house bound, so mainly internet purchases. Elliots switchcraft has kept me busy off late. But all this will fall apart next month when I'm attending a number of dealer lectures.

Why not?

As with all other "luxuries" (books, games, etc.) I follow the typical Cancerian pattern of being very frugal for months on end, and then going slightly mad for a time.

I spent roughly £100 on magic stuff around the Christmas period, and probably won't buy anything again for a few months. Could easily have spent WAY more, but thoughts of being broke managed to curb the cravings. (We've just had to spend about £300 on mobility-scooter stuff to replace what was lost by an airline.)
