Big fan of VI so nothing against you guys. That said, one of your judges has all but cursed any participation on The Magic Café. That being said, no thank you and good luck.
Peace, charlie |

And THAT quoted post is what you come back with? Seriously, what is wrong with you? |

That being said Brett...the SvenPads do look very good. Think I might pick some up.

Oh...and apologies for the "Seriously..." sentence. Don't know why I let that little rant loose and not banish it to the internet graveyard before hitting submit.
Can't edit it now either. Stupid of me, sorry. |

I've been a fan and friend of Jamie Grant's since he started managing the yearly competitions awhile ago. For me it remains the cat's meow and the one many know. But you are right Vanishing has every right to start their own thing - although I too find it off that judge Rick Lax and even Joshua Jay himself don't seem to want hang out here at all anymore. So Josh Jay, partner Andi G and Rick Lax no longer seem to want to be a part of the Café conversations - Yet they seem very interested in skimming the cream off the top by touting/promoting their effects & contests here without fully engaging. I sent a friendly PM to Vanishing Inc co-owner Josh Jay over 6 weeks ago that was still unanswered as of this weekend. Sure - I realize he's a busy guy - but I deleted the message a few days ago as it is no longer relevant. Kyle M seems to be their sole rep. My contention is that if Josh, Andi, Rick and his crew want to be a part of this Café community - they should get their butts over here once and awhile (as Acar from Penguin, Peter Nardi @ Alakazam & Cole Gross at Hocus Pocus do regularly) rather than cherry picking only when Vanishing Inc wants something from us (to buy their stuff or sign up on their lists). Rick Lax as a creator IMO needs to get back on the Café - Look, I too have been the object too of derision at times and bad behavior. So what? I have been a massive supporter of Vanishing Inc since I started buying in the early days when young Josh's mom used to answer the order line and take calls while he was touring. I support their efforts and applaud their growth. But I sense Vanishing Inc growing pains as the company seems to be disengaging from the community here... while seeking my business.

Vanishing Inc continually publishes new, top-notch, well written, well edited, original conjuring books at very accessible prices.
Vanishing Inc benefits the magic community, regardless of marketing contests and whether or not its owners squander their time mingling on this silly forum. |

They take on huge projects and somehow deliver quality every time at a pace that betrays their youth and passion. If they are not here jousting with the masses, it's probably because their time is better spent on projects that will endure.

Its weird that VanishingInc come on here to promote the new Derren Brown DVD but don't reply to explain why they have just abandoned this? I voted as I wanted to try and win all the products
It strikes me as a bit odd - was it just a ploy to get email addresses? I could understand if there was a technical hitch or something but it only takes 5 seconds to update their twitter to keep us informed, or to post here. |

As I said - I'm a vanishing inc customer and dedicated buyer since Josh's mom answered the sales calls years ago.
They have put out some wonderful books and really superb products (Glance magazine test and amazebox being my favorites so far). But what they are missing lately it seems is a connection to their purchasers. To say they are essentially too busy creating great stuff to waste time on petty forums like these is just plain unwise. Forums by their nature are messy. So what? Josh and Andi IMO need to mind their store and be here on a regular basis. Can't handle the fire, get out of the kitchen. The folksy video after every purchase at vanishing inc with Andy and Josh thanking me for buying something makes it crystal clear that they are personally involved with their business.

I'm so torn, on one hand I'm not comfortable with a business using marketing to increase there sales and having a dedicated point person to run there online presence but at the same time I'm hurt that my very important opinions are being screamed into the internet and no one is noticing.
I refuse to be swayed by any side of this argument until David Penn makes a YouTube video about it. |

Hey guys so while I'm not associated with VI at all, but I am friends with Andi, Josh, and Kyle. Andi and Josh are currently busy getting The Session and Magi-Fest set up, so right now they are pretty occupied. Kyle is currently in Ohio working on a few projects, which is why he hasn't been jumping on here a ton. I'd be happy to message them and find out when they'll announce the winners.
