Tell us what you saw so great, that you just had to give in for C.U.P.S. and buy it! And what was at so good prices and juicy offers, you just couldn't resist buying it!

I didnt get much time to look around. But I got a nice set of silver dollars for a routine I want to learn, it's a fantastic coin set.

I got Proximity v2, a Houdini lock, 3 bricks of bikes, and 50 bags of Balloons. I did see a nice electronic haunted deck by Christopher Taylor.

    I was thinking the same thing. I also just checked the price over at Alakazam, WOW, £164 :shock: The only advantage i can see this having over other versions is the distances involved, and that there are no lighting restrictions. However, from what I seen in the clip, there are several disadvantages aswell. I suppose it could be nice for that 'special occasion', but in this instance I think I'll stick with my usual method :)

What presentational angle did he go for? Such a versatile effect, so many different theatrical approaches...

I preordered some stuff and picked it up, which is a good idea, as it gives you a budget...
They were mainly small accessorries and supplies, sponges, silks, flash paper etc...
and then... my extra stuff, was...
Danny Hunt's Escape DVD set - was considering some handuffs too, but think if I can work out how to gimmick a set myself, then that will be cheaper.
