I like penguin, just recieved a package from them today, with the items, two free dvd catalogues and 2 free paper catalogues!

Was fairly cheap from the UK site as well.

Penguin has really good customer support & they're prices are some of the best on the market - unfortunately their product range is limited

I like penguin a lot, it has really low prices, it has demos and it has sankey stuff. I am not sure about magicworldonline because I have only just started looking at it.

Penguin

Penguin is definitley a good fair site, that sells high quality videos.
I love how Oz samples all of the tricks, it sometimes gives away the effects, because I can figure them out, but it is definitley a good place to go.

Especially if you are a fan of Jay Sankey.

Penguin do a lot of rip off product, though in fairness most online stores do at least some. In fairness Penguin probably has the best UK prices and has quite a few vid dems so you can see the product. If your happy buying non originals then Penguin is prob your best bet, if your one of those that takes a strong ethical stand on the issue then Penguin is unlikely to be your favourite site.

I'd agree with Happy Toad to a point.

There are some tricks that we all probably want at some stage and wherever you buy them they will probably be a rip off. In these cases why not buy at the cheapest?

However, if you look around there are also a number of sites that sell exclusive products that can't be purchsed from sites like Penguin. I suppose that in the whole scheme of things, almost all traders have their place

The originals are nearly always available, though obviously usually at a considerably higher price.
