Silver Glove Magic Veteran user Magic... coast to coast, here's to another... 334 Posts |
@trueinventor - wow everything you've written is really really touching. Definitely adds a lot more meaning to the vale of mystery behind FAX.
Until now I had never heard of Loki Kross, or FAX. I simply went to the Penguin site, saw FAX was number one, and next thing I know I'm reading everything I can find on it. This is definitely one of the most incredible effects I've seen done in the spectators hands in a while. Can't wait to learn this bit of genius, and add it to my magic methods. Great work Loki!

Silver Glove Magic - glad you're excited, but take what you read with a grain of salt. There are a couple of things in that post you quoted that might lead to disappointment if you take them as gospel prior to purchase.

@MaxfieldsMagic Thanks for the concern. But I've been disappointed before, and I've learned how to handle it. I'm a big boy. I'm just simply expressing my excitement. If Mr. SaySold posted something misleading that I quoted, perhaps take it up with him via PM. I forget that even just posting something as simple and honest either about a quote, or just being smitten about a new product, will get picked apart and viewed under a microscope till it almost has no meaning at all anymore.
I guess I am forced to curb my enthusiasm, and say this as boring as humanly possible as to not bring attention to my excitement..."I've-purchased-this-effect. And-I-am-looking-forward-to-learning-it" (mono-tone-robotic-voice).

Not really seeing how being lefty is a concern with this.

I was just pointing out that not every description of the performance conditions in that post is completely accurate. You'll find out for yourself when you watch the DVD. That doesn't mean that Fax is not a worthwhile technique. It is, and has the potential for some great applications, a few of which are taught on this DVD.

So its more of a comfort thing. that is all I know people have said how they handle this little hiccup and those are good answers it still just boils down to how comfortable it is to do without practice.. IE: my Classic Palm Is perfect with my left but with ten plus years of practice it still always feels awkward with the right.

I actually did have an early copy of FAX in hand far ahead of release.
That being said, I was extremely limited in what I could state or say weeks before the official release. Silverglove and others - I appreciate the compliment and hopefully I was on target with most of what I tried to say - without exaggerating or getting in trouble with the creator or Penguin, etc. The 7th paragraph in what I said in that quote probably could have been better worded in hindsight - which I realized after reading it at the time after posting. I'm thrilled that people are really liking this - of all the new releases this year FAX is a game changer imo.

Man, I am really wishing this wasn't released, lol. I was really frying fellow magicians, now I'm gonna have to go bank to relying on actual sleight of hand, lol.

Having read a post earlier in this thread, I have a question about the ethics of buying second-hand:
If I buy a gimmickless effect such as Fax second-hand (e.g. on eBay), even assuming the seller has not made a copy and will never perform the effect, in buying a second-hand product am I unfairly depriving the creator, producer, distributer etc. of the effect revenue? And am I therefore potentially harming creativity in magic? I'm all for protecting my bank balance, but wouldn't want to harm magic in doing so... Rich |

Well, the fact that there is a "DVD for sale" section here seems to condone the practice.

Same with books, magic or otherwise. I think the first-hand price takes this dilemma into account, that's why the second-hand price is so much less.

In fact, purchase from them rather than retailers such as Penguin - the creators will get a larger portion of the profit. But it's a fundamental tenet of U.S. copyright and intellectual property law that resale is OK, as long as copies aren't made.
