I wish you every success for your shop Stephen, you've been here on TM for a long time and have always offered good solid advice and help so you deserve success in your commercial enterprise. I’m sure many TM members will be gagging to buy stuff from you so perhaps a very large batch of C.U.P.S. cakes needs to be organised :D ?

Here is a quick taster!

My OWN brand (such an ego :lol:) of flash paper, wool and string at bulk prices e.g. 10 Flash pads £30 or sold seperatly at £3.99 a pad!

I am trying to make sure i stock different stuff to Seige so we can both benefit :lol:

When it is up and running i will annonce the special talk magic discount code so you get 10% discount.

Opens July when the proper website (that link is not it!) is ready. Takes credit and debit via paypal, paypal payments and cheques.

There will also be flash kits on sale containing everything you need to get started (including a flasher).

There are some big suprises coming from me. Some stuff you would not have seen before (it's by henry evans and is expensive :wink:) . Like seige i want to save you the hassle of having to pay import tax. So buy from Seige and I (you can trust us :P ) you know you will get a good deal and great prices.

Magic is real, just look around you, some of the most amazing things have no reason, no explanation but are very real.

Deep breaths...In...Out...here have some cake and just relax. You have to wait till July so heres an incentive not to spend for the next month: It gives you more money for that all important initial purchase from stephens new store! After all thats when you'll buy all the stuff you really need.

Don't worry i am still fighting CUPS with you all my brothers. Imagine how hard it must be for Seige and I having wholesale accounts. Do you know how many products we have to choose from to buy for ourselves. All that temptation :oops:

I'm afraid my CUPS has just become UPS.

There's no compulsiveness anymore.

In fact, it should be called RUPS... Regular Unneccessary Purchasing Syndrome.

I quite simply can't help myself. I actually rattle when I walk... there's so many things in my pockets, strapped to legs, etc.

Something I've learned though: More magic a better magician doth not make.

I find myself so consumed with vetting items for inclusion on NUMS that I'm actually neglecting the whole reason I love magic—THE WRITING OF.

You'd think the more I see, the more I'd feel creative—but it just ain't working like that. In fact, I've almost lost track of the amount of new ideas I've had and forgotton. Poo!

Anyway, my own personal RUPS episode is now firmly halting. I'm getting wed in August, and we've just paid for rings (no—not a Wizard!) and a 2 week luxury honeymoon in Cuba... so the wallet is firmly closed.

(Now, where's that wholesale catalogue gone... )

Congrats on the wedding Seige. Probably best that you haven't used rings with unusual properties - It might be a bit hard to unstick your best man from the altar candlesticks.

Okay now stephenmagic you terrible miscreant, stop tempting these poor people with your pyrotechnic marvels :). This is a thread to support the afflicted, not to try to get them to blow each other up.
