Whats your 'must have'

So im guessing we all have those little things that we dont have a use for yet, but we know somewhere in our work we will find a use for it !

Whats yours ??...

So I probably have two.

One is magnets. I am so totally obsessed with the ruddy things be it tape, big ones, small ones, sticky ones, paint etc etc ... I have so many of the darn things and have to really pull myself back from sticking one in everything I do lol..

Second is toys. I am really going through a 'I wanna really mess with your childhood memories' phase. Every spark of thought seems to centre around taking toys from my childhood and ripping the butt out of them and making them haunted. Maybe I need to see someone about this ? lol..

Old photographs!

A deck of cards. I have loved playing cards since I was a kid and I do a mean Lennart Green impersonation.

I perform mentalism, demonstrations, and experiments regularly with them to wild responses.

I have a fairly large collection of all kinds of playing cards, even a brand new deck inside an unadulterated milk bottle placed in there masterfully by Canadian Jamie D. Grant.

Of late, Old Photographs have become a "must have". This will be made clear in the months to come.

Some pencils, 3x5' or business cards (also window envelope + nw).
That would be for the act I'm working (that will still take some years of experience to get good).

A unique turning table from the XIXth century to call the spirits and a bottle of Carolus (my favorite beer).

Me too!

I recently visited an antique shop in Eton (just by the bridge) looking for ancient decks of playing cards, but stumbled upon a box containing genuine Victorian cabinet photographs (the ones with the name of the photographer on the back). There are some truly creepy looking people on some of them....

And they were only 25p each!

Now need to put them into a routine that befits their creepiness....
