Your proof of purchase is your e-mail address and your PayPal receipt or order. If your hard drive malfunctions, e-mail Magicbob or me for replacement pdf files. We'll look you up in our data records and the replacement files will be sent to your new (and hopefully improved) computer forthwith. You can also legally make a backup copy and save it to a CD for your own use, or make a print out and save that, again for your own use. Copyright law allows for back-up copies which are not to be sold, traded or distributed, but which are for your personal use only.

How long does it take to receive the pdf? I placed my order over 1 hour ago?

-Altrez

It can take up to 24 hours to get a response. Even on a regular day when Magicbob isn't on vacation. If it takes longer than 24 hours, that's when you would contact me at magicnook@yahoo.com and I would try to contact him and fill the order for him if necessary. Then he owes me one and has to write faster to make up for it.

Hey I got it this morning. I can't hardly wait to order the whole set. Very good stuff here.

-Altrez

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. The $5 off pre-order sale is about to end. I just submitted the draft of the final effect ("Crystal Casket Card") to Spellbinder for editing. Note: the website still shows a different effect. This one will be replacing it. The website should be revised to reflect that change soon.

So if you act quickly, you'll be able to get the discount for "pre-ordering" and only have to wait a day or two extra for the final effect.

The "I STILL Hate Card Tricks" Book of Card Tricks is now complete. But the $5.00 off pre-order sale is being extended through tomorrow (Monday, April 7, 2008) while I compile the individual chapters into a single .pdf file and add the table of contents, etc.

If you order now to get the discount, I'll send all the effects right away as individual files and then send you the complete volume as a single .pdf within the next few days.

Although the pre-order special is over, "I Hate Card Tricks" and "I STILL Hate Card Tricks" are available as a two-volume set.

The "I Hate Card Tricks" Book of Card Tricks

o The Divided Queen
o The Zig-Zag Queen
o The Mismade Queen
o The Spiked Queen/Assistant's Revenge
o The Disembodied Prince
o The Kremated King
o Harry & Bess
o Jack B. Nimble
o The Kompressed King
o Twisted Sister
o Bonus Effect: The X-ray King
o Added Bonus: Guide to printing your own custom gaff cards


The "I STILL Hate Card Tricks" Book of Card Tricks

o The Origami Queen
o In Over His Head
o Crystal Card Casket
o The Geometric Queen
o Royal Interlude
o Jack B. Quick
o The Fifth Beatle
o A Connecticut Yankee
o TBA (Totally Blown Away)
o Girls Gone Wild!
o Bonus Effect: Totally Wild Jokers
o Added Bonus: Guide to printing your own custom gaff cards (same as volume one)

By purchasing both e-books together, you save $10. Another way to look at it is like this... when you buy volume one at regular price, you are essentailly getting a 25% discount on volume two.

UPDATE:

Due to popular demand, my e-books are now also available as printed books!

I wanted to let everyone know that I'm in the process of enhancing the printable jpg files for these effects. I'm brightening the colors to make them more vivid and match regular cards better. I'm also sharpening the image quality, removing artifacts, etc.

I'll send the improved graphics to previous customers automatically as soon as they're completed. New customers will also get the new images of course.

Bob

Bob,

I just bought both Hate... and Still Hate... and wanted to know if the updated graphics would be included at this time or will they come later? Thanks!

The updated graphics were sent along with your e-books this evening. I hope you enjoy them.

NOTE: I'm continuing to expand the line of merchandise... these publications are available as e-books or print books. But if you are not a "do it yourself" kind of person, you can also order many of the effects individually (already made up and ready to use).

When is Vol. 3 going to be available?


Dave

Interesting coincidence that you resurrected this thread to ask about Volume 3... after a long hiatus from writing, I've finally carved out enough time to get Volume 3 completed. I've finished developing the effects/routines and I'm in the process now of getting everything written up. Look for an announcement that it's available in about a month.

Bob

Sweeeet, guess I better pick up the first two now that I know I won't have to wait very long for Vol. 3.
(Or, wait until 3 comes out and order all 3 together and get a big fat discount)


Dave

If you order the 2-volume combo and then pick up volume 3 when it comes out, I'll discount the price of Volume 3 for you (or anyone else) so your total comes out the same as buying the 3-volume combo.

I'm also working on getting the website files updated. There will be some title changes to the line-up currently shown on the website. I should have full descriptions of the Volume 3 effects posted online in about a week.

Thanks MagicBob, just placed my order.


Dave

Quick update... the website has been updated to include descriptions of the effects. As with previous publications, the effects can be purchased individually or as a complete volume. 50% of the effects for Volume 3 are currently available for individual purchase. The remaining chapters are in the final stages of preparation and will be available soon.

MagicBob:

How much is your Mega Deal? You offer says coming soon.

The webpage will get updated as soon as Volume 3 is published. The combo prices will be:

"Sleightly Sticky" combo ("Sleightly Wacky" + "Sticky Situations") = $39.99

"I Hate Card Tricks" 3-volume combo = $59.99

Six e-book "Mega-combo" (all three volumes of "I Hate Card Tricks" + "Sleightly Wacky" + "Sticky Situations" + "Kards for Kids") = $99.99

The "Sleightly Sticky" combo is available now.

If anyone is interested in pre-ordering one of the other combos, let me know.

I'll send everything except Volume 3 of "I Hate Card Tricks" immediately and will send the last e-book within the next few weeks as soon as it's ready to be published. The first five books will give you plenty of material to prepare during the short wait for the final e-book to be delivered.

Volume 3 of the "I Hate Card Tricks" Book of Card Tricks is now available!
