[Chuckles The Clown]

I too, have a penchant for procureing (A fancy way of saying"blowing my money away") on props for both clowning & magic. I have since learned that I try to reason (another way of saying I like to talk to myself) as to whether I will really use it or not. Or, can I make something better myself. We all know there hundreds of things out there to tempt us, and sometimes I weed out some of my goodies, as they can reeeely start taking up a lot of real estate.
On the other hand, I have been working on getting a magic show together for about a year, and a lot of the stuff needs to be stored until I can get it together. Three members of our local ring just did a production which took them a year to get it to the stage. I do a lot of clowning with the balloons & miscellanious magic and still, theres always that little something that you really feel you need.
