Not when they're covered in his blood, they're not !

In the entirety of this year - '07 - (and excluding expendables, such as cards, mouth coils, hat tears and so forth) I have purchased:

• Modern Coin Magic (for use in the Bobo thread, explanation found there)
• Two copies of Secrets of Alkazar (for my students)
• One copy of RRTCM (again, for a student of mine)
• Expert Card Technique (again, for a student of mine)
• The Miser's Cup (a gift for myself this time)

Hmmm...Can't think of anything else that I've purchased in the last 6 months.

Value is in the hands of the holder. I wouldn't give you more than $2.00 for the deck, so to me, they just ain't all that valuable.

some kid was supposedly selling them for 15 bucks

I might buy two, then actually open one and sell the other.... of course, that kids a liar

I didn't know how recent you meant, so I just posted the best of my collection.

My most recent purchase is the Books of Wonder Volumes 1 and 2, by the late great Mr Tommy Wonder. A work that will provide advice and guidance and most importantly thinking in me or whoever reads such a book.

Some more cards
Various gaffs
Card College 1-3
Art of Astonishment 1
Double Head and Double Tail coins
Weapons of a Card Shark
Darwin Ortiz at the Card Table

I think the following makes up the bulk of what I have ordered this year:

Andruzzi's Daemon's Diary,
Jim Callahan's Tea With Alice & Jack,
A couple of George Anderson's manuscripts,
The Table-Rappers by Ronald Pearsall,
Frederick Altgelt's Mind Magic,
and a subscription to the ORACLE magazine.

The only other items I have bought 'recently' have been essentials, such as decks of cards, envelopes and the like; things I have purchased purely out of necessity.

Harry.

The last thing I bought was Double Back. Not a new effect by any means but I like it very much. One of the few packet tricks I own that I actually perform on a fairly regularly basis.
