obviously don't care what you think.... the first dozen times.


Then how come once those people leave their names are still being said constantly? Because nobody has anything to talk about except "nothing". So these people are indirectly begging for them to return so that they can remain entertained. Then when they do return as a favor to help fill the void in their empty lives, they continue attacking them because they still have nothing better to do. Pretty tiring huh? Even funnier are those who actually agree with the "detractors" and did not order, yet they want to be liked and accepted by those who did. They want it "both ways" Smile *cough* "FD". So if no one cares then stop quoting me and talking about me when I have left. It would be hilarious though if this whole thing was just a joke. Then the haters would need to either bow down to my greatness, or go back into their reclusive holes and never show their faces again. But this is a discussion forum and anyone can post their opinion and you can't stop them. I don't see any rules stating that only supporters can post. I am happy to leave but apparently some can't stop talking about me. So may as well have some fun with the "infants".

Brad, you are probably too young to know who Sybil was but I suggest you might want to change your name to SirSybil.

I said from the beginning that I did not doubt that the material would be great, I just like to know what I am buying and who I am buying from. The idea is cool but risky, much like a lot of other things as well.

So if I offended RS or anyone else I would like to apologize, which is something I rarely do online
RS seem to be decent people and again I apologize for making any assumptions that may not be true, but that is expected with such a lack of information. I am still on the fence and time is running out so I doubt I will be subscribing at this time. Maybe later, and if they did have back issues I certainly would consider it then.

I have no hard feelings towards RS or anyone in this thread so I just wanted to squash the beef.

Either way, to those that ordered I hope enjoy it and that it lives up to the hype. It certainly does sound mysterious and exciting.


You might want dust off that apology. It didn’t take too long to make it look like total BS.

But you also have to know when to stop, and be open to change if you really do feel a certain way. I always keep an open mind even if I am against something.

Supporters will praise it and haters will bash it. I am not really either, I am actually leaning more towards supporting the project.



Yes, you need to know when to stop. Maybe now might be a good time. (Although about a month late.)

I suspect this is the biggest reason behind your posts. I’m not sure which celebrity you’re shooting for though. Lindsay Lohan maybe?


Take your blinders off son. My apology was genuine and to those who were intelligent enough to accept it. But you fail to "see" through those RS colored glasses that I was attacked after my apology, and every time I leave my so-called detractors cannot stop talking about me. So take off those one-sided glasses groupie and see the actual facts. Or do you just want to keep on fitting in with the rest of the groupies? I even tried to keep discussion on RS and a few idiots still kept attacking me and quoting me. So wake up or go back to sleeping with the others in your big bed of hypocrisy.

Peggy, Where does this "bow down to me stuff" come from? How can ANYONE take you seriously?

RS members, heard anything yet?

Tom G, this post is fascinating because it's NOT just about a difference of opinion. But also marketing ideas, how magicians choose to invest their money, acceptance and rejection, e-commerce, privacy, emotional outbursts back and forth, various personalities (in one guy!), lies, truth. And more! Who woulda thunk RS could have given us such great entertainment---at no cost---before a single trick is shipped!

The real let-down will be how BORING the RS secrets and products will be after all this!

Anyone remember when Protocols of the Elders of Magic came out, it was all 'hush hush' as well? Anyone who revealed the secret content to that book before it came out was vilified here on the Café. But the books then sold for triple the price. Definitely generated a lot of buzz, much like this is. I bought a copy of Max Maven's book back then, and I bought into Real Secrets now, so that type of marketing must work on me Smile

Well, one mans facination is anothers boring. Atom you should go into mentalism knowing
the "real let-down will be how BORING the RS secrets and products will be" when no one knows
a thing about them. With people like Michael Weber and Bob Neale promoting it, I would tend
to respect their opinions a little more. Doubtful they would let their names be used for
something they didn't believe in. Plus they know more about it than anyone on this forum.

I got what he meant. The key is in the words you left out when you quoted him: "...after all this." He was making a joke that RS will be boring in comparison to this thread.

We should all beware of the pitfall of taking things too seriously. Magic just a fun pastime for most of us -- even for the handful of professionals on the board, it's just show biz!

Well, I was stunned to get a call from the post office today. I didn't even know anyone was there on Sundays. Turns out they let you pick up packages on Sunday -- IF THEY CONTAIN LIVE ANIMALS!

Yep, that's right. Stay tuned for the first RS delivery, and make sure you have some place to store a couple of mice. (That's not giving too much away is it?) Haven't looked over the other material yet, so I can't review anything. But head's up for a few "squeekers."

Hi
For some reason I got mine today! I'm so disappointed because it's a stinking card trick. I have no interest in cards so if anyone wants to buy this from me, I'll be listing it in the "Tricks for Sale Forum" . It's not even worth shipping but I'd like to get some of my money back.Why did it have to be cards? I'd rather it be a card with IT wrapped around it. Anything but a card trick.
O well live and learn.
Ralph
P.S.
April fools!
