I have never used my thumb-wrestling set, but I may someday!

I made the mistake of buying lots of serious magic. First of all, Pickles can't figure out how to use half it. Secondly, why would she want to? She's not a serious clown.

Right now I would have to say my juggling balls. I cant juggle! Or my white gloves. I am a Tramp and use Jersey gloves. Or my sponge nose I paint mine on. or Well crap I have to much to list I guess I should have read this first

Why so many posts regarding white gloves? I like my white gloves except when I need to tie balloons off then I don't like them. I have enough problems tying balloons without wearing gloves.

I also have a rainbow wig that kinda looks like a mullet being short and spiky in the front and long hair in the back and everyone seems to like it. I was always told that you need to exaggerate your own physical features and being as tall as I am the wig makes me look even taller (well that and the top hat).

I can't really say I have bought anything I haven't used. I have bought magic tricks before originally thinking I was going to use them with clowning.....but then later just using them at other times. I have bought a $10.00 wig before but even that I have worn a couple times. I can say however I bought some glow-in-the-dark shoelaces that I have never used. And my shoes aren't exactly the best fit but they do go with my current outfit.
