Yes, let's do that, Jamie. I'm sorry *I* got us off topic by responding to your off-topic attack on me, then immediately following it with an on-topic post.

I'm looking forward to receiving my Real Secrets package in the UK. I wonder if I'll be the first to get it here?

Anyone else who has ordered in the UK received theirs yet?

They must have shipped earlier than today. Oh, those sly Real Secrets people!

I haven't been this excited about the mail since waiting for my books from Jeff Busby to arrive. Sadly, I'm still waiting for those.

Yes, sometimes things do ship earlier. As was the case with The Vanishing.

I can't wait to receive my Real Secret!

Hey Jamie, post us a review on your first Real Secret trick. Don't let the fact that you haven't gotten it yet hold you up! LOL

I wouldn't do that Mike Engberg.

Now go and do one of your triathlon things and burn off a bit of angry energy.

I'm pleased with the quality. Half the fun was opening the package with just the excitement of the unknown. Although it's not my type of routine, I look forward to playing with it and agree with everyone's comments. Good quality, many gimmicks provided. Well done.

All those who refused to get involved and slagged the programme off must be kicking themselves now.

They are missing out on some Really Good Secrets ;-)

Mine can't arrive soon enough.

By the by: I notice on Realsecrets.org that they will begin taking further subscriptions April 6th. So no one is cut out of it all (with a few exception, I'd presume), you just can't get the first issue. Starting with #2 will still make you happy, I'd bet.

OK, this is not something I would have purchased just based on the effect alone but hopefully it will get better. I just purchased another product for $10 from Martin Vetter that blows this away with a howitzer cannon.

It's apparently a day for surprises in the mail. I just got this from the phone company!

Well, I was considering subscribing to RS, but it seems so far a little bit of mixed reviews. Someone stated that this item would be sold for $20 to $30 dollars if sold by itself. And I thought to myself how many many tricks I bought in the price range of $20 to $30 that just sits and collects dust. Most of them. Though some reviews seem positive. What a tough decision. I guess not much time either, April 6th is the deadline, eH? Hmmmm.

I wonder if the first effect subscribers get is the best "Real Secrets" is bound to offer for the foreseeable future.

You can bet they want a really positive buzz from their first shipment.

Hope it's great for you guys who subscribed!

This thread is like a soap opera, and I enjoy tuning in.

Got the same Martin Vetter trick and it's nice- takes some work to learn, though. Real Secrets is good to go right out of the envelope. Can't really compare the 2 tricks to each other- it's like apples to oranges.

So one needs some practice and the other doesn't so I can't compare them? I was just comparing $10 of satisfaction that will surely wow my spectators with $12 of something that doesn't fit my idea of magic. I definitely will try it out but it's not really my cup of tea. If eveyone I show it to raves about it and loves it to death I might change my mind. We'll see.

I'm really just giving my impression on the product so far. There is a lot more things in store I'm sure but this particular item doesn't interest me. So for me it's strike one. I'm sure there are those that will like this and I thought your review on the new thread you made was very good. I'm just giving my honest to good, no punches held opinion.
