Enough for 10 lifetimes.

Michael.....How's it going?

I think the young man completely missed my point......opie

I understood what you meant. Basically you said if I wanted to know a lot about magic but not necessarily perform it, buy all the books at once. If I want to perform the magic in it, then I should buy one volume at a time. But I think you thought that I would only spend a little bit of time on each trick if I got all of the books, which I wouldn't do. I can control and discipline myself.

Do whatever feels good for you.....opie
