I have, for example, a pack of "Mocker" marked cards, which are so badly printed that the backs are in different shades. And one that went straight in the bin was the Ball and Tube - two ill-fitting cardboard tubes and a glass marble. Possibly the best item that I still have, and occasionally use, is the nose flute!

I bought a load of the Paul Daniels TV Magic Tricks from various places and dutifully collected the tokens which, when posted off, would see an extra special trick sent to me as a bonus. Sadly, I didn’t realise that the firm making this offer had gone bust but I did get my letter and tokens returned by the Post Office – about 6 months later!
The quality of those tricks was excellent, far superior to the plastic tat which was being sold as magic at the time and I still treasure my little collection of them.
