All,

I am pretty stoked about this as he is a great guy with some great deals. I cannot wait until he is fully up and running. Just wanted to let you know.

BYUDAD

Last I heard, Doug was very sick. I hope that he is well again and that it is indeed Doug Tilford running the sight. I was under the impression that he sold the business to another person.

He was always very good to me. He steered me away from illusions and tricks that wouldn't fit my style , and often made me aware of a trick's good points and bad points before I bought it. Good prices too.

This is a tough time to re-enter the magic business. If he is coming back, I wish him good health, and much success!

I visited the site, not much to see yet.
One thing that caught my attention some of the text is not in English, I wonder if one of the over-seas suppliers is taking over the business?

Is it now an Italian company?

Silly site. why not use black print on a black background? That would be kinf of spooky, no? I can't wait to be able to read the graphics.

Doc

Maybe there are suppliers in Italy who are willing to make illusions, authorized or otherwise.

Richard

I heard through the grapevine that someone else took over...

I heard a rumour a while back that Devin Knight was thinking of purchasing the business. I don't know if that was true or not.

I heard a rumor that dragons live beneath the earth.

That's not a rumor .. I've seen them, they live among the dinosaurs.

It will be interesting to see what develops here.

Why would you buy a name with so many stigmas attached to it?

Hmmmm.... I found this after doing a WHOIS search:

HA!

Then it is appropriate for those two names to be linked.

Gasp!

Sorry I am lost here. Is Doug Tilford still in the business? Or has he sold his business to someone else?

Another way for dominick to sell all the rip offs through somebody else name...

Doug is out of business for good. He sold his website name to another company who will use his name. Doug has NOTHING to do with the new business. Since I was associated with Doug for over 10 years I let most of his customers know I was still a dealer and that I would continue to serve his old customers if they wanted me too.

I posted this elsewhere on the same topic of new Tilford website. Inventors and creators beware, your products will be ripped off! They are now producing a ripped copy of the new Slice Man illusion, that was originally advertised through the Tilford website. The Slice Man Reloaded is not authorized by the creator and was made after one of the very first units was shipped to Italy, sold through the Tilford site.
They night order one or two units from the creators, while selling a dozen from their own making.
