Yeah, I dig April 1st.
I gave my wife a stack of those "million dollar bills" to hand out. She's been going around getting cashiers to sneak them in their registers. The clerks seem to think it's a grand idea to mess with their managers. "Hey, your register is a million dollars over..."

The site is up but it just states "Real Secrets Charter Subscriptions Sold Out - Visit us on April 6 to subscribe."
Pick a card, any card at all. Just don't pick a RED spade.

I'm not able to get in and I'm a member- it's been saying "Can't find the server" for over 12 hours. I'm NOT nervous, just saying......
I'm sure Brad and French will have something to say!
I was kind of expecting some different activity on the site today.

Hopefully, they are working with some website design experts to totally overhaul the website. I was expecting something to change on the site today too but its a no go.

Jim,
That is a very nice thing to say. I truly believe that it is just too easy to find all the "bad" in everything.
You here it all the time, "Aww man, this sucks." "I hate that." It bombards us day and night. Since I always do things the hard way, I decided I would just find the good and positive in anything I could.

It's actually amazing. My wife is fantastic. She can play the devil's advocate on anything. She will defend my enemies just to make me laugh. I get mad first though, then I see her elegant nature and have no choice BUT laughter.

Once my oldest son came home from school and told me some boy had called him a racist name. I was furious! He had been called "mongrel" which in Chinese is very derogatory and rude. I was looking for my baseball bat when my wife heard the commotion. She asked what was wrong and we told her. She started laughing sooooooo hard. I demanded to know what was so funny. "You see, if he is a mongrel then is the other boy a "pure blood?" and continued laughing. Why is this funny? Because you cannot battle hate with hate. You can only battle hate with love.
James

Thank you James. Hug your wife for us.

I can't wait to hear what you RS members think of the first trick. Y'know, the one with the cards and mice.

"....Big Brother is everywhere! Jeesh, I'm paranoid!"

Mr. M., don't feel bad. I used to think I was paranoid until I realized that it's just that everyone is out to get me.

My apologies! It's hard to make comments while you're looking over your shoulder for the boss!

Hey guys. Just checked my mail and had an envelope from Real Secrets.

I've avoided most of the silliness that this thread has offered. I signed up for RS early on. My payment was never denied or cancelled. I never received an email regarding confirmation of my shipping address. I received my first package today, which is the first postal delivery day of April. In the spirit of RS, I won't say what the trick is, but I did receive a trick with custom gimmicks and written instructions. So far RS has lived up to their promises, and I am happy to be on board.

I guess other members should also be expecting their first package soon.

Yeah, yeah, OK...so what is it, how does it work and don't leave out any details? Hey, maybe some pictures would be nice also! Smile

Seriously though...I hope it's great. Smile
