Ok. I am getting a whole load of cool stuff from Penguin and I was wondering what I should do to prevent my little annoying brothers from trying to grab for strings, swipe DVDs, grab the gimmicked deck etc. I know this has been posted before bu I wanted to know if anyone else has been in this particular situation before. Thanks!

stick it way way way up on a high shelf

or you could punch him everytime he tries to get them

Maybe your annoying little brother is interested in your hobby and you're hurting his feelings by shutting him out. Maybe he wants to do magic too.

True, I have let him in on my tricks, but then he either messes up, doesn't practice enough, or says something to the general effect of "It's easy! All you do is..."

ha ha ha .my kind of guy

Or you could get a "magic" safe that only opens on your command

Just buy a briefcase, and put your stuff in there. You'll know the code, so your set...

yo my little bro's keep trying to exploit and ruin my magic when i do it to my cousins/aunts!

You know what they say violence is always the answer

i need help with the same situation. my older sister tries to look through my stuff and shes way stronger and taller than me. she took out my raven instructions and read it. she looks through mmy stuff when im gone and i dont have a lock on my door. what do i do

Put a lock on your door with a magic key.

Go to your local Home Depot. Purchase a Husky Aluminum Case ($20). Use it for storage, or for a performance case. Either way, they have locks and are spacious enough to hold plenty of magic props.

Okay here's what you do. Set a series of relativley painful boobey (is that how you spell boobey?) traps. Instead of buying a 20$ case, buy 5$ worth of mouse traps, and hide them among your magic items (make sure you know where they are). She'll get the idea right quick and in a hurry.

First: when referring to a trap, it is spelled 'boobie'.

Second: mouse traps? Are you stupid? Mouse traps are going to get him grounded and her sent to the hospital! I assure you, $20 will seem like a small price when your mom throws your magic stuff away for breaking your sister's fingers.
