I agree - this was one of my better purchases this year. I'm actually not a fan of many of the routines but his little tips here and there are fantastic.

Does anyone else think that this thread should be renamed with a health warning of "CUPS temptation"?

I like the dream idea a lot

I am planning to use a small pair of scisors, the kind you find in sewing kits, rather than the candle, and get the spec to cut the thread.

This way it fits the theme of a sewing routine in which I can weave Tommy Wonder's needle trick as well. (as well as a couple of other things related) Found an old engraved wooden sewing kit box in a flee market in Brussels, it's lovely and it's making the whole thing come together I think, Im totally chuffed about it It will be the story of a magical gift (the box and its contents), which is passed down generations. And my first routine that I thought up myself ... maybe not that great but it's mine and I like it a lot

One thing I don't know however is whether it's wise to get the spec to cut the thread if it's associated with accidents and bad things.

Anyway, I've hijacked the thread - sorry.

My best buy has to be a copy of Practical Mental Magic, why did I never buy it sooner?

Better late than never, DD.

LPB, I think we ought to have a separate Gypsy Thread, er thread ...

Fatastic the way one basic idea can be presented in so many different ways.

My best buy was 1000 forks at Blackpool, along with my cobra sharpie.

For me it was Reality is Plastic.. Great book..

Thought it was a cobra in your video. It's good then?

Mine would have to be Coinvexed 2 or Get Nyman. Two of them are brilliant.

Get Nyman seems to be a really popular choice.

I have had Nyman for ages, great dvd

It's all about his drawing dupe for me, I perform it all the time! The peek is so subtley blatant!
