Maybe average effects but not the more popular ones. Heck the stealth Pen, Raven, Bite out quarter, Healed and Sealed, and Born To Perform at Penguin sold that many in a week, and many others thanks to Blaine specials. I also highly doubt they were all platinum orders, he simply made that up to boost the cost up. I am betting most are regular and 3 month subscriptions. If they are advertising elsewhere that is even MORE of a FAIL. I would consider anything less than 5,000 a FAIL. Like I said before if it is truly $12 a month, and so "great" give us an option to pay monthly without any commitments. They can't do that because the product does not exist which is why they need all the full year's payments to produce it.

Why DO people think writing FAIL in CAPS is more persuasive than using the word 'failure'?
It is aggressive, loud, annoying and ultimately boring: like watching a toothless dog chasing its own tail. A failure of wit, a failure of grammar, and a collosal failure as entertainment. |

I agree; anyone who would use "fail" as a noun is a huge FAIL!

It's slang and more fun. You both FAIL. Using the full term is for "boring" people who like to act as though a discussion forum is a college term paper. When all you got left is to study and critique a forum member's grammar on a magic forum, well you are a FAILURE in life most likely. So at least I am giving you something to do so you feel revelant. Any more personal attacks or should we go back to discussing why you should not waste money on Real Secrets?

EPIC FAIL!

No it is very well lit actually. The Café is the only dark place, although slightly brighter than Ellusionist. My "real life" is very positive and full of great things, and just because I am honest and outspoken about a magic product does not make my house, or life dark and negative. You are the one focusing on the negative, and falsely perceiving it as such simply because it opposed your own opinion. Or maybe it is just an alter-ego used to rile up people who take online forums far too seriously, and used for my own and other's entertainment? Who knows? Maybe I could call you overly optimistic? But I prefer not to engage in "childish name-calling" as many here do, and foucs on the product. But I think based on the fact that there is nothing else for anyone to talk about now except my posts, only further proves my point about this "secret" product. Case closed.

And I might add, succeeding quite well at it.

Absolutely! I also really like the idea of getting a mystery box. I bought a Creative magic portion and it is really fun.
No need to compare, I understand Creative magic is much more transparent than Real Secrets. James Quote: On 2012-03-07 11:32, GaryLee wrote:

Quite honestly, the success or failure of this venture will be judged by two criteria:
1) The money that they put in their pockets once the dust settles 2) The customers' reaction Even if they only net .5% of the members of this forum, that still adds up to big bucks. If that .5% of them are pleased with their purchase, then you have the opportunity to expand your customer base. Regardless of it all, the group that is working this scheme is making money while the rest of us are sat here, on our collective ass, whining. Mike. |
