I won't have time for real secrets. I'll be too busy reading my Rudy Coby notes (Rudy is a great guy), my Penumbra subscription (Goodwin is a great guy), learning things from the Miracle Factory Gardner book, and responding to threads on the workers forum.

Yeah OK, I have been a working professional for 27 years and I bet I have a larger collection of books, DVDS, collectibles, illusions, and effects than you ever will. Not to mention several other hobbies that are quite expensive. I could afford this 50 times over if I wanted to. You are mising the point. That is why I do have plenty of money because I spend it wisely methinks. I don't throw money away on blind puchases meknows that.

I am going to take the high road and say hope you all enjoy it, and you do not regret getting Real Secrets. I will just sit back enjoy the show, and all the zero discussion and reviews.

Wow, what a sad and ugly turn this thread has suddenly taken.
Here's a tip for sirbrad: If you have to say Quote:

Maybe I was joking? Maybe I was being sarcastic? The only ones who turned it ugly are the ones who attacked my responses and quoted me, because they can't handle an opposing opinion that is not only logical but intelligent. It ruins their "fun" thinking this product is going to be so great. But even if it is it still doesn't justify buying something you know nothing about. So go ahead and waste your money.

Fascinating driveling banter (being off subject and personalized).
Hasn't this thread gone on long enough for the Real Secrets Team not to "enlighten" us with more details of who they are, what they're selling and how they're handling the consumers' money? No one can even get a business license without indicating who's selling and the products and services they're offering. It seems either very suspicion (still) or childlish. I've only seen VERY IFFY enterprises market the way Real Secrets is being marketed.

I am tempted to buy it just out of mere curiosity alone. But I can't give them my paypal or credit card number, they are secret.

Sirbrad is nothing more than a spoilsport, ruining the fun for everyone else. Go and count your pennies Scrooge while we're all having fun.

No, I am trying to save you from getting scammed but you are too thick-headed to see it. As much money as I spend on magic and several other hobbies I am not Scrooge by any means. These people are selling hype more so than the effects. This is EXACTLY what they want as more people will buy because they can't resist. I will have fun reading my 2,000 plus magic books and DVD sets which have been waiting for years. But I am too busy performing what I already know to even start on them. These RS effects are not going to be any better than most of the other magic out there, you are just buying into the hype. This was their was exact marketing strategy and many fell for it; hook, line, and sucker.

No comment. Way too easy. I'm starting to get the feeling we're all being baited.

Sounds like the type of guy that likes beating his head against a brick wall because when he stops it feels good. Either that, or someone is in desperate need of a life, and or just a need for attention.

Whatever, I am done with this thread as you are right it is "too easy." Too easy to take the money out of your pockets apparently. Keep looking through rose colored glasses. You are right I did not think of making up a shady website and selling a product that had no information. I guess I prefer to run an honest business, and that is what I support as a buyer. And at least I am not insecure to post my opinion, and I don't have to jump on the "bandwagon" looking for acceptance like most in this thread. Hope you remember to cancel that recurring payment at the end of the year.

I think Real Secrets is entitled to do what it wants. It's a free market. It can market itself however it wants, as long as it's not deceptive. More power to Real Secrets for having used a strategy that works for them.
