Wisdom #19

Being a magician, you will accumulate a lot of stuff. This includes magic tricks that may have several pieces. Often small pieces. Lets not forget the all important instructions. The need to have these effects and all of their components available to you is where the challenge comes in.

The best solution I have found is a accordion file. These can be purchased at your local office supply store. Each compartment is completely sealed on three sides. This will keep those little pieces from escaping. Remember that zip top bags are your friend. There is room to put a the instructions, and all the parts of the trick for most close up magic. You can even put the name of the trick on the handy tab over each divider.

Disclaimer: Obviously if you are a large stage illusionist you are not going to fit a large cabinet or a Bangle Tiger in it!

Enjoy, John
