The instructions! I've started to scan any documentation I get now with new props.

This I do all the time so have also brought them by the box load. The other thing I lose all the time is decks of cards so have also had to buy them in the box loads.

Nail Writers a bunch of them.

As far as I know I haven't lost anything yet, but with all this talk of spending gaff coins I'm realizing I haven't seen my dime and penny in quite some time...

One more for gaffed coins. Not sure if I spent or lost my flipper quarter :-(

I lose coins, cards and loops most often.

I lost and found about 3-4 times the Pointless gimmick until one day ... I finally lost it.
But I have a back-up.

I lost a deck of cards because I left it on my end table after I got done practicing. One of my wonderful rescue dogs decided she wanted to practice too. She chewed through the whole deck. I couldn't even salvage half of the deck for duplicate cards and to make gaffs. Grrr.

I lose tons of sponge balls. My cats keep getting at them and swatting them under the couch.

I just lost a speaker stand. It's one of those tripod stands. Put it on the froung next to the car and forgot about it.

Once, we lost an amplifier even though 6 of us looked everywhere. When I called the venue and told them that it was missing the custodian said he found it behind the piano
The problem was that we all looked there at one time or another.... silly custodian.

But I ususally loose Canes, Table bases and Card swords. I lean them against a wall near a door and someone opens the door which completly hides them.

Holy Moly! Arghh I've lost many of those:(
I wish I could make my own refills.

Cards, since I only worked with cards so far. I guess rubber bands that I use to organize them as additional. Although as some of you mentioned buying sharpies etc. in boxes now. I did that with rubber bands and lost the box and I'm left with four or five bands I had laying around, but box of 100 or something seems to be nowhere.

I lost TT too. I see I'm not alone

I almost do this once a month. Man oh man... you'd think I'd be more careful about keeping them in their coinpurse.

I recently lost my Ignition key. Not the small part but the actual key part. A month later I visited the same building and it was pinned to the bulletin board in the lobby
Bummer is, I'd just bought a replacement.😆 Oh well, can't get enough of a good trick.

We had a pretty good snowfall, and I was throwing snowballs at my niece in her front yard. Later I discovered I had thrown my Odyssey ring right off my finger into the snow .. somewhere. Lol. Over a month later when the snow finally melted, my sis in law found it.
Of course, I already ordered a second one 😆

TT's, NWs, gaffed coins. Did the last one twice and never again. One instance was for a can of coke. I realized my error right after. That soda was definitely overpriced.

My youthful idealism, my marbles, my patience.

Amazed how many spend gaffed coins. Given how much they cost, I'm obsessed with having dedicated coin purses for my coins and making sure they go back in flyer a performance or practice.

Cards,TT,RCA cords, plugs,adapters for sound systems etc are the main things lost on a constant basis at gigs.
Had an egg bag pinched at a bookstore gig...
