Hi guys,
I just purchased what I thought was a legitamate version of Peter Eggink's Ghost Tag, which came with the 'King Of Spades' in the 'tag', I should have recieved 2 other pieces of business {if you own this effect, you will know what I mean}. Have heard nothing from the supplier as yet after emailing them etc. I was also badly 'locked', I had to transfer all the mechanism into a different 'tag'! I emailed Peter Eggink, who responded very very quickly, and suggested I may have bought a KNOCK OFF! I'm under the impression he is dead right! I got it from a well established wbsite shop here in the U.K., so I am well gutted!!! I think the effect is brilliant, howewver I have it working on 2 cylinders , where I was expecting a v8 turbo!! Just thought I would give you guys the 'heads up'! And thank Peter for his fast response! Once bitten twice shy eh? especially after paying FULL RETAIL PRICE ! Cheers Kenny.

Name the shop, name the supplier. You can always add how the seller responded/fixed the situation later.

Well, this is a very surprising news. I live in Asia, so I've seen many knock-off items here. However, I wouldn't have expected that shops in Europe be able or dare enough to do this.
As I think it would be very stupid to sell counterfeit items in countries where the trademark laws are well complied by the government and their people. Here, you can even walk into a magic shop and buy a knock off Tarantula for just as high as $9. Ugly and doesn't work well

Not much help unless you name the shop that's selling the knockoffs....

So what was the purpose of this thread? Why post your personal problems if it won't help anyone else? I don’t get it.

Perhaps because the shop might defend themselves and asking for a proof.
We can claim that we got a counterfeit item from a shop, but how can we ensure them this is the exact item we got from them?

Hi Guys,
It's a bank holiday weekend here, I am giving the shop time to respond to emails. Tomorrow [tuesday], it's business as usual, so I will keep you informed. Cheers Kenny.
