I am counting the days down for this. I missed the original, but I am sure Christopher and Paul are going to create some outstanding products.

As fine as the Alchemy Moon products have proven to be, I'm at least as appreciative of the overall community-building mission Chris Gould has expressed. There are some very innovative ideas coming out of there. Definitely something worth attention.

Chris makes some outstanding boxes,for props too! (Pieces of ART)! Checkout some of his work on 'Spooky' under 'Cuss Card Boxes' ! Maybe some of you guys can have a custom made box for your Note Pads !

The site's up.
Something very ambitious is being attempted here. This isn't a young performer's prematurely released juvenilia, a semi-underground legend's brilliant methodological constructions, a set of barely performed hypotheses, pared-down instant-reset commercial stunts, trivial technical improvements or variants, bandwagon-jumping rehashings, hackneyed Hammer Horror bizarrities -- or any of the other usual kinds of releases. It's a serious, whole-hearted attempt to reconnect the mystery arts with the symbolic/creative/ritual/theatrical mainstream -- underground though it's often been -- of human culture and imaginative life, moreover done by a guy with the rare magical imagination, artistic vision and craftmanship to help it happen. The approach is obviously very much in the Stanley Jaks line of exquisite, intriguing props, and focuses on atmosphere, emotional experience and legitimate mystery rather than pseudoscientific exhibitions of powers. It's the kind of material that makes obvious the need to find out who you are as a performer. I think the Cuss Cards, for instance, are a brilliantly constructed mini-drama, a metaphysical dangerous monte effect that brings that rare thing in our field, dramatic urgency. And it's all real pretty. Chris's previous promotion has been perhaps a bit too unconcretely misterioso for its own good. (Yes, the exact 'what happens' effect isn't the be all and end all. Yes, you're taking a big leap in the dark if you don't know what it is.) With luck, Paul Prater, big Southern lawyer that he is, will provide some balancing Alchemy Sun (though if I'm following the symbolism right, the Alchemy Sun is the daylight of the performer's self, conscious attention and public air). |

The web site is very well constructed. The props, routines, and the artwork are all worth consideration (if within your budget!) I was holding off on The Secret Key and Witch of Glastonbury, but both routines have received great reviews here, so I pulled the trigger and included Fate & Freewill. Looking forward to Paul Prater's handiwork and routines. The video clips are very helpful as well. I would love to see a presentation of Cuss Cards Elite (or King). Already own Chris' King Cuss cards, Zoltar and Sanctum 3. Chris, I hope you change your mind about the Elite Cuss card production being limited to just 7 more!
Anyway, best of luck on your latest endeavor! |

The Moon's the Bomb folks! As advertised, more than a place for nifty props....it's a place where you can explore who you are and what your Art is trying to express. Just following the many rabbit holes will provide you with so much knowledge. Big, big thank you's go out to Paul Prater and Chris Gould for what is clearly a huge amount of love for the Art. I know when things slow down here I'll be speaking some of my truths, on the Moon, so that we can all grow into the new paradigm. And yes, I'll be spending some hard earned money here as well to support the sight. Most true Adepts here are already THERE ... so I'm probably speaking to the choir. Excellent sight and one that is truly needed.

Are all the items limited edition? I wanted to purchase some cards and they were sold out. Will the items for sale be restocked or once they are sold out that is it?

I believe there should be more on the way from a comment elsewhere, with the exception of the elite cuss cards and elite death in the family. I think this may be the last run of zoltar and hypno card, but not certain on that.
