Another Canadian is getting this? And here I thought I was special!

Speaking of items crossing the border, I recently decided to get a book that a Canadian magician just published. It was published in the States. The book is around $26, and the publisher wants another $29 for shipping costs! Isn't that nuts???

The writer told me he's getting some shipped to him, and I can get a copy directly from him (here in Canada) for a *lot* less shipping costs.

Haha yeah that is a pretty funny concept. Can't they just pay the shipping and you send it out to me? It'll cost less for them, it's the same effort for you, and I get it faster.

Woops, I forgot that they don't pay shipping and handling, I do. And it's always expensive. What I meant before was: You send it out to me and I end up paying the shipping and handling. It costs less for me, it's the same effort for you, I get it quicker and Hocus-Pocus doesn't have to do anything. it's a win-win-win-win situation with only three people involved! I'm serious, is that possible? Or have you already sent them out? Even then, they haven't sent out mine so the one they have for me could go to someone else and you send me one of yours.

Ive already sent them out to HP. But what you are refering to is called Drop Shipping. We don't drop ship the smaller items, only large illusions for our dealers. If we drop shipped for HP then instead of just packing up one order for them, I would have pack up dozens of these to ship out direct to their customers, its actually a lot more work. As a manufactuer, part of the benefit of selling stuff to dealers or distributors is the fact you only deal with one package to them, they are the ones that deal and ship the product all over.

Oh yeah, good point. I'm really excited to receive mine!

Hey I would have done for you, seeing as you were in Canada, and it would only be one extra package, but alas it is too late. HP is fast though, you won't wait long.

Wow, we are at day 5 after the 15th January launch date and yet we still do not have a review.



I am still waiting for my delivery which will probably come only end of the month or early February due to the Chinese Lunar New Year. Hence,I am seriously getting very impatient.

Anybody care to share a kind review? Thanks

By the way,is there a new video from RAY coming out also?

Hard to give a review when no one has it yet!

Be patient, my young Jedi! Soon, you will become the new Obi-ONE!

Brian

Thanks Brian.

Can't help it as I am a huge fan of self-levitation. I probably own all the self-levitation that was out in the market except for Fly and Ascend. I can't get fly due to my country strict regulation with "cylinders" and also Ascend is not launch yet.

Seriously, all the self-levitation out there have major weakness. Balducci was the most practical and effective but the exposure since David Blaine did it on his street magic had render it useless.

"One" is by far the only one till date based on the video demo and all the methods I known to be the cleanest,practical and realistic levitation. Hopefully, it shall not disappoint us.

Nice!

Hello,

To all Hocus Pocus customers who pre-ordered ONE Levitation. We received them yesterday Monday the 19th and all orders have been shipped...You should be receiving yours soon.

Best regards

Don't completely disregard the Balducci. I scared the **** out of a couple girls last night with it. It was great. We're getting out of the street magic craze, and trust me, there's enough people who don't know the secret.

I'm really looking forward to the reviews on One though!

Balducci IS great! but I do agree that quite a few people know about it... Too many at least!
Having ONE at your arsenal would be a further "weapon"!

I can't wait for the reviews to start flooding in. I hope they live up to expectation.

As much as I would hate to get called out on the method of Balducci, I can't help but want to perform it. I did it for a few "drunken" friends at a new year's eve party, and they freaked out, running out of the room. *** exposers!

OK Mr.Brian, I am sure you have received your levi by-now, if you have not, please don't forgive me, as I know you are lieing!lol


Peter sent these out on Thursday last week, HP Received these on Monday this week. It will boggle my mind if I don't see a simple review by tonight, as Brian is the only Canadian we know of that ordered strictly through Peter (Yes Brian, your my target!lol!). If HP in the U.S. Received this before the Canadian's, somethings wrong, as far as time is concerned.

Ah, the mysteries of the postal and customs systems.

When we shipped the initial orders of Enlightenment, we had US and Canadian customers receiving their orders before local Australian customers.

Just received ONE =) and yes I'm in the states, sorry Brian ...Don't have time to post a full review yet but my initial thoughts after opening the Box...it is exactly as the advertisement states, a combined concept of Mr. Loughran's original Elevator levitation and Mr. Noble's On Thin Air, with some additional ingenious thinking on Peter's part. The effect will allow you to achieve what the original Elevator did (i supported that effect when it first came out around '03-'04) with the additional security of having specs have a fair peek underneath the feet. This can be contrasted with the Elevator 2 which wasn't as convincing or stable as this in my humble opinion. Like the original Elevator, you will need to make slight personal adjustments to make the unit completely silent, because it still makes some noise. that's the only negative I have so far =)....need to test it out watch the DVD and play around with it before I can say more. This definitely has potential, Rock on Peter.

Nice! Can't wait to hear some more!

Thanks for giving us a first impression - it sounds like it'll live up to the expectations
