good point there Django, I find the silks, sponges and anything really visual work really well with small children. Card tricks tend to go down like a lead balloon.

Is she a Catholic like me? I know you Brits are proud Protestants . I think it's funny how some Catholics take things way too far (every religion has them!). There are people who say card tricks are people trying to learn sorcery. There's also a fears of tarot cards, palm readers, and the Harry Potter series. It's not called fiction for nothing !

If she's Catholic then just let her know that Magicians have their very own fully approved and Vatican appointed Patron Saint - John Don Bosco, Saint's Day end of January .

I just looked him up. It says he's the patron saint of Christian aprrentices, editors, and printers.

Couldnt agree more, no time to be learning new effects now just practice practice practice!!

I just got back from a magic store. and picked up a few things: 3 Card Monte, Ghost Deck, Ghost Gaff, CAJ, Pop Eyed Popper (will write review soon)Black Tiger deck, and Sponge balls! They are all so awesome!!! I am thinking of 3 Card Monte, and maybe Popper plus some effects with just normal decks. What do you think?
