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.

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 to Auckland; I have many more one or this, two of that items, and a bunch of SILKS for sale at bargain prices!
