We could have a secret banter where we send mildly abusive but good intentioned remarks anonymously.

How about a Secret Santander where we can hide money from the taxman/wife/cadging relatives?

So, pretty much what we do on a day to day basis already then?

What about a Secret Satnav where you send someone a postcode which they enter into their Tom Tom (or whatnot) and they end up visiting a suprise destination?

I already have one of those, so far my TomTom has sent me to a deserted industrial estate instead of the hospital I was heading for; a dirt track round a ploughed field which the TomTom insisted was a road, and the two different satnavs I've used in the last 8 years both disike heading north, at some point on the M6 towards the Lake District it suddenly tells me I'm driving somewhere just off the coast in the North Sea.....

Thats it everyone!!

The deadline has now passed and i have written out all of the people who wish to take part.

In no particular order we have:

MagicRob
AnonymousZC
Alfred Borden
Mancunian Lee
Ted
RobMonster
Stephen Ward
Lawrence
Vanderbelt
Ste Porterfield
Beardy
Ace T
The4thCircle
Magicdiscoman

14 People are going to feel the love from a magical secret santa!! :D

I will now do the random draw and Pm all of you the person you will send a present to.

A quick reminder of some T's & C's......

Spend around £10
Send using recorded delivery
The address you receive will be as ive been sent it. (if its wrong its not my fault)
Please keep presents tasteful and not vulger and crude. :twisted:
This is not an official Talkmagic event and therefore no liability can be held against the forums.
I personally will not be responsible for any dodgy presents.
In the case of a present not arriving, please Pm me and i will contact the person who is buying for you and see what the hold up is.
Please try and have your present posted before December. (this gives time for any hiccups to be resolved)
If you have any questions or concerns about this then please Pm me. Im sad and check these forums up to 30 times a day!
Above all else, do this with kindness in your heart. :D

Ill not be taking part as this would ruin the 'secret' aspect. Im very sad at not being able to take part but maybe next year eh?! :wink:

Good luck everyone!!

Blimey, this is harder than I thought it would be, trying to work out what this person would like.

Maybe we should all post a little about our interests and leanings (both magical and non-magical), to make selection of pressies a little easier? :D

I have a heavy leaning towards card magic but I'd be happy to accept anything!

Can I also add a big thank you to Alec for arranging.
Cheers mate
