I'm a member of toastmasters (toastmasters dot org), and I'm looking for visual props so that I can complete "manual speech #8." I'm super poor, and therefore I can't afford anything fancy like a laptop and such. Any advice?

Well, there's always the felt pen and giant pad of paper on an easel. It still works....
Not sure what 'manual speech #8' is, but if your speech is related to any particular topic, that might tie in with an organization (although this might smack of sponsorship) that group might be able to loan you a few visual aids.
Just a word of caution, though. Too many visual aids can really destroy a speech. You are, after all, working to an audience -- and the word comes from 'audio', which means sound. They want to hear what you are saying, not watch visual tricks.
Good luck!

doesn't need a computer.
can't you use paper - color it with pencils or markers or crayons
to make your visuals.
or use actual items (like use a fishing pole if you are giving a speech about fishing for example). something you already have.
i don't know speech #8 exactly but i was in toastmasters
long before they had laptops.

well you are on a computer now-do you have power point? If you do make your presentation, download it to a disc, bring it with you and use someone elses laptop-or computer at your meeting.
good luck
