Magic is real, just look around you, some of the most amazing things have no reason, no explanation but are very real.

Hey they're trading in the UK. You have consumer rights and trading standards on your side.

Just write them a quick email saying that you believe that is is not an original sankey product and state why. Be courteous, and let them respond. There is no point making any specific accusations. It could be that thats the quality of product they received from Sankey who knows!

Sankey took them off his retailer list. They are currently getting rid of back stock. Accusations were made on both sides. People here jumped on their particular band wagon at the time. It all got a bit silly really.

You wont find much better anywhere and it's nothing - a rigmarole with a few bits of paper and lots of spiel. That is Mentalism

Found the old post about Sankey and Penguin.

http://www.talkmagic.co.uk/ftopic7730-60-0-asc-.php

Time to contact Penguin and ask them nicely I think.

You'll be surprised how far nice can get you. Just tell them your concerns and let them respond.

No don't worry about it! It'll just be a rerun of the last time. Lets boycott, no lets shoot them, no lets hang them then shoot them.
