Just spent £170 today on 4(technically 5) books! Now where is that other 820?

I'd love to put together a really nice quick change routine, £1000 would certainly help with that for me :D

Where's Waddington with his "I once spent £1000 on..." speech?

Having just bought the final pieces for my show, I would go a different route.

Either:

Pay for tuition. £1000 should get me a decent course and would be money well spent.

OR:

spend it on the marketing side. Cards, giveaways, advertising, and/website.

(Or even take unpaid holiday, working out how much I could take off, equal to £1000 take home pay. Would be enough time to work on all the presentation and finalise the complete show.)

I've actually just spent £1,000 on magic in the last week, much of what I've bought is Five of Hearts stuff with a few other bits and pieces. Can't wait until Friday when most of it is due to arrive.

I get an original (booklet version) of prism. I couldn't justify that much on one order so... I don't know.

Pete: Holy Bible?
Barton: Yeah.
Pete: Yeah, I think so. Anyway, I've heard about it.

i just got my small chop cup with "loose change" gimmick from ace of hearts.co.uk...beautiful it is.

anyway - a grand? i'd spend it on john riggs work; along with linoln's boon stuff. Then on books from Magic Books by Post. The other 400 pounds or so - on ladies of the night, gin and tap daning chimps.

I agree that Miracle Factory books would get my £1000. My order for 'Cardini: The Suave Deceiver' turned up the other day but I'm forcing myself not to open the package yet as I bought it as a Christmas present to myself. I'm preparing to act surprised "Oh I really shouldn't have!"

What were the 4 (or 5) books you bought Lenoir?
