Has any one else noticed you walk in to a "tiny" magic shop and not only do they have 30000000000 tricks on display you can mention some thing and they duck under the counter and pull out 50 ways of doing it,

also have you noticed that time seems to stand still in a magic shop, about a month a go i walked in to davenports spent 5 minutes in there and walked out 2 hours later, and £70 worse off!

I call it the "Mr Benn" effect! When I was a kid, it was always model shops.

I think I spend about 15mins in the magic shop, until I look at the clock!
