I find it most annoying when an effect is sent with half the apparatus missing!
Unless stated in the advertisement (which NEVER happens) I would like to see an effect delivered "ready to perform" (as I am sure most of you would) without having to make some extra gimmick or apparatus to finish off the effect. A couple of examples that I bought recently that do not fit this bill would be: Rey Ben's "Cap in Bottle" - it took me to the early hours of the morning, and several beers! to get the cap looking any good, and I am still not satisfied. "Osmosis"( I found out after the purchase that Heineken is not available in this country thus I was unable to do the version without cover). Alpha's "Floating Flame" - I still have to get around to making the table which is described in the instructions to perform the effect. What other effects have you purchased to find that they are not immediately "performable"? |

I can speak firsthand, because I recently released a DIY type manuscript of my rubberband effect "Linked 4 Life", and the ad includes the sentence, "You get a manuscript complete with Andy's detailed instructions on how to make your own sets of permanently linked bands, crystal clear illustrations by magician/artist Shaun Robison, and all of Andy's insight into making the most of this incredible effect." So have faith, there are some of us who are fully forthcoming with our ads! :o) --Andy P.S.-I wish I could sell it with linked bands, but while they're easy to make for yourself, to make the quantity needed to market them would up the price so much nobody would buy it!

Almost any trick that requires silks doesn't come with them. So you either have to take the ones you are using for another trick or buy another set. On a rare occasion you can use the same ones in multiple tricks. Of course if you are big enough to have an off stage assistant they can reuse the same silks over and over.
