Nothing they make suits my style or fits into the themes of my programs. So Don't get caught up in the hype. If there is a item you might have a use for you shouldn't have too much difficulty in obtaining it from the glut of product that will soon start appearing on the market as people sell off the stuff they don't want to recoup the investment they made for the stuff they did. I also predict that there will be knock offs appearing soon. Surely someone will start making their versions of Change Caps and Bigger Wands. I'm kind of surprised there haven't been unauthorized copies of these for sale already.

Thanks folks for your input, and especially to Payne; it's easy to get caught up in hype.
What if the Hokey Pokey really IS what it's all about?

It seems to me that I saw a change cap knock-off months ago...but didn't take note of who was making it...I KNOW it wasn't Creative, though.

I for one LOVE the hype. Sure Harry Potter is the same movie/book whether you wait in the midnight line or not but one is an experience you will remember forever i.e. you where apart of something special. The other is just a good movie/book.
I am soo excited to be getting my portion and I have no doubt that 10/15 years from now I will still remember waiting for that countdown to hit zero, being super shocked and then dialing in like the local radio station was giving away a car. The whole portion thing has been fun and we are just getting started. As for Paynes remarks it sounds a bit like sour grapes to me. I for one don’t get the Iphone hype but I also don’t feel the need to go talk to the people standing in the line and say – "don't you know that in just a few months they will release a new one and it will be better, faster, lighter and NEWER. I just want to point out that this is hype and when the new one comes out the market will be flooded with this version and you will be able to get this same one for much less. Plus I would just like to point out that I have Android..." They are having an experience and I am going to let them have fun. This is a string started for people that ARE buying portions to connect and celebrate together. I think it is interesting that you point out that the market will be saturated and there will be knock offs in the same post. I have been thinking a lot about this whole promotion and t he more I analyze it the more I realize how incredibly clever it is. It is clear a lot of thought went into every aspect of this exit strategy. And my prediction is that because the market will be saturated no one in their right mind would invest the money in knocking anything off. But even if they do knock them off I for one want the originals and I will always look back at this with fond memories. I think we are taking part in something really special that is drastically changing the future of our industry. But that is just my 2 cents Cam |

I just plunked down $3600 into my Roth IRA. I think it's a better bet.

For the one or two things I would like...it's a better bet for me to wait for the fire sales on the Café.

There's no reason to feel compelled to buy a "portion" just because everybody else is. I doubt that at the level he's cirrently at right now that he could even use most of the stuff being offered. Much better to pick up what you want or need from those who bought into the portions than to be stuck trying to unload the duplicates or stuff you have no need for. He asked a serious question and I was giving him my opinion on the subject.

A major part of being in show business full-time is recognizing the opportunities that are right for you when they come along. Each person will have to decide for themselves if this investment is a fit for them. Anyone who does opt-in is in good hands with Brian and Rebekah who always over-deliver and run their business with integrity.

And… “no room at the inn now.”
They’ve sold out their initial quota. The pie has been cut and sold. There will be a waiting list for cancelations or if they can make more full sets. It was a fantastic deal for the right people, and not so fantastic for other styles of magic. Congrats to those who’ve made the sale a success! Walt |
