You do have quite a CUPS driven list there though so your definately afflicted

edit** and now, everything onyour list I dont own I now want

Perhaps you two should try therapy. Or maybe a home economics course. I will pray for you two.

pfft, call that c.u.p.s..... amateurs


I dare not even see my list all in one place, so keep the receipts in many different places.

It has less to do with my love for magic, more my addiction to popping bubble wrap.

ive just bought CTW and 2wo faced today from Bigblindmedia.

My cups list is HUGE mate.. probably close to £600 this year so far!!

CUPs sufferers...i sh*t 'em...

there should be a new acronym...

Prolonged Unadultered Learning, and Practice and performance....

PULP...

it's the way ahead...it's like buying 38 pairs of new shoes a month and only ever really wearing in one pair...

That was gonna be my question- how the hell are you gonna learn all this stuff?

I've bought 3 DVD so far this year and I'm already thinking thats enough to last me for the next year or at least 6 months.

very true guys, i am learning...both skills and to control my cups
let me just get this order through and I'm done.

hmmm I know just what that's like

actually I missed one or two things out :

bleeding candel
coin purse
bagless purse
raven
raven dvd
shell £1 coin

But surely your just overflowing yourself with magic. I like to buy an effect, learn it, practise it and perfect it to where I want to be, then buy a new one.

Or do you sort of learn the methods of all the tricks and then practise which ever one you feel like at the time?

I buy up things and then 'prioritise' them.

2 week of cards. 2 weeks of coin work, 2 weeks of sponges TT and IT, then rotate again or something like that.. Ill spend one day a week learning singular effects that I have bought.. might devote one hour a day for a week or two for one effect I want to add to my rep.

I work along those lines, and I spend one day every forthnight where I take a couple hours out and get out my list of 'mastered effects' and routine them into a set. Adding to them as I see fit.

So a lot of what I buy gets put on the backburner but at least I have it!!
