Hey guys, I was just sat here wondering how much I actually spend on 'magical Equipment' per month and throughout the year!

I mean things like new decks, accessories, 'The must have new effect', DVD's and so forth!

Scared me really when I thought about it!,

Then another question arose! How many of the actual items I purchased do I actually use in my day to day performances? Then that scared me even more

I was just wondering am I the only one or am I part of a much bigger group?

Please say I'm not on my own!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Loads of people have moments of clarity like this.
It's times like that when the Approved Items For Sale area gets waterlogged

Don't feel alone - there used to be a CUPS support group but can't remember when or where now.

But you've taken the right first step... Admitting you have a problem!

Ha ha ha, ...My names Taffy and I'm a recovering CUPSer

I have managed to put the lid on my cups - at blackpool for example i didnt spend more than about 40 pounds.

Not including hotel, travelling, food etc.

But on a normal week I will spend around 10 pounds. New decks, IT, etc.

Typically I will spend 30 euro every two months on cards, other than that maybe 100 - 150 pounds a year.

As a complete amateur and only interested in cards, I spend about £ 10 a month. My job takes me to the US most months and I stack up on on Bicycle cards in the New Jersey supermarkets at next to nothing in UK terms.

Recently I've been a bit bad, spending about a ton a month I reckon. Got some good stuff though so I'm not complaining, I even use some of it.
