Default Magician costume find

The wife dragged me to the Salvation Army Thrift store the other day. I was bored and started browsing the racks and found a good looking tux with woven braid for trim. Whopping $7.00 and the beginnings of my magician persona's costume.

Now to figure out how to add the hidden pockets and other devices I need.

Congrats on the find. I need to get out to the thrift stores more often. I get jealous every time someone else finds something.

Is there anything better than finding a thrift store treasure at a bargain price?

Good job, Luki Loki!

My daughter and I both enjoy thrifting. One of our local stores has a bi-annual bag sale that rocks. For $5.00 you get everything you can fit in the bag.

Two years ago when I decided to go to Moosecamp I found a tux jacket I modified for the hobo dinner. I used some iron on fabric to make colorful patches which I frayed by pulling the threads around the outside. I have used it many times since.

I've found some pretty cool props too in the kids toy section...
