I remember when you could go into a magic shop and see qualty magic props and there was something for everyone. Now, I'm afraid that there is a push to produce anything that resembles magic, and force it upon the magic community.In order to sell and make a profit, its made cheap and they target the newcomers to magic with all the hype they can muster. Most of us have been around magic a long time and have seen alot of magic so we can recognize what good magic is. The sad thing is, some magic dealers just want to sell wether its a good thing or not. Thats why this forum is so important and the reviews you give will help others to gain the knowledge you have so that they can make an informed decision.
I remember seeing James Swains Capitulating Cards performed at a magic shop. There wasn't any hype, I wanted it right away because it was an amazing trick. If this trick has not been reviewed, I will be glad to do so.
