Whenever I go out of my way to buy some item I normally do not buy my wife knows it has to do with some new magic trick I am learning. Here is a list of some of the odd/crazy things I have gone out and bought in order to practice and learn a new magic effect and who is responsible for making me do so:
Box of Tic Tacs - Brian Platt
Box of Bazooka bubble gum - Jay Sankey
#19 Rubber Bands - Brian, one of The Trickery Interns (Poor Man's Linking Rings)
Zip Lock Bags - Wayne Houchin
Baggy Pants - Corey King
Big Gaudy Finger Rings - Garrett Thomas
Extra Silverware - Banachek
I know I am forgetting a bunch more but that is a start. Please feel free to add to the list.
