David
Ginn here, alive and well in New Zealand!
It's hard
to believe I'm back down under in less than a year …
but it's true! And I'm certainly looking forward to
seeing ALL of you at the convention this week. Right
now I'm sleuthing around Auckland, trying to find a
BIG JAR of Vegemite to take home with me! You see, we
have these fire ants to kill in the front yard . . .
Okay, just kidding!
Anyway,
I've brought a lot of books, videos (yes in PAL), and
magic props with me . . . with NO duty or GST (Georgia
Sales Tax) or shipping charges to you. And if you'd
like some of these (because I have limited supplies
of many items), just email me @ Alan Watson's email
address: Alan@Watson.co.nz
and send me your name and list of what you want . .
. and I'll HOLD your items aside to be picked up on
Saturday at the convention. I require no advance payment,
just your assurance that you will pick up your order
by Saturday night.

being said, here is a partial list of what I brought

HELP!
HELP! HELP!
In
1993 when I attended the Wanganui Convention, I got
from Ken Bates a BLUE BOX TRICK which allows you to
put a glass of liquid inside and turn it upside-down
without spilling. I have now used that in 500+ shows
and really would like another one for back up, even
two! I believe it was made by Harold Chandler here in
New Zealand many years ago.
If
you have one or know of one . . . please advise Alan
for me and BRING IT to the convention. I will either
purchase it for cash (whatever is fair) or trade you
merchandise in lieu of cash. Your choice! It maybe have
been called Wizzy Dizzy Milk (by Supreme) . . . but
whatever it's called . . . help me if you can!
Many
thanks . . . see you this weekend! --- DAVID GINN, myself
PS:
This is just a partial list of the things I've brought

items, and a bunch of SILKS for sale at bargain prices!
