Is there a cumulative index of the content, or a search facility?

Is it just unbearably slow right now because of the promo, or is that the general condition? 1-2 seconds of video then 10+ of buffering is unwatchable.

I give up. Over an hour of trying to watch a four minute video at 240p, while YouTube is working fine at 720p. Looks like time to shoot the marketing director and sell his organs to cover the damage to RM's reputation.

Theres NO problem with the site. If you're having a streaming problem its on your end. Try shutting down and restart. There are lots of people on the site watching video with no issue. I just watched it on 5 devices and 2 separate internet connections

Also there is NOT a search engine but were working on it. Were building a new site with additional options and a search engine is number one on the list.

Streaming is fine for me here in California. Nice at fast at both 720 and 1080p. And I have a relatively slow internet connection (dsl).

No, but you can use Google as I do. You just have to type "site:reelmagicmagazine.com and what you're searching for" without quotes. It's cumbersome, but it works.

Where is the classic bonus material found?

Ah that explains it; you're hogging all the bandwidth.



OK, now that I've got it streaming, that's the main thing I'd want to see, along with some tagging and/or better descriptions on each video to make searching more productive. i.e. I'd want to be able to search for several tags when I can't remember the name of a card trick.

While we're at it, if someone out there had a huge database of effect names and characteristics of each, (i.e. moves used, gimmicks used, type of reveal, creator and/or most famous users, sources, etc.) that would be one heck of a bonus feature for a site to offer. Obviously some, like AC, would be a mess to track all the famous users and sources, but it would help out with the frustration of trying to remember a long-disused effect and not remembering the name, among other useful details.

Theres not a search engine but there will be. Were building a new set right now that will have a search engine......

As far as to where do you find the additional or PLUS content. On the yellow Navigation bar at the top of the screen it says PLUS

I was quite pleased with the range and depth of the material.
Thank you for the opportunity to see what RM is about.

SUBSCRIBE and check out The Marketplace.....

Kozmo:

I realize that you were not giving us a free weekend solely out of the kindness of you heart.
My situation is such that I am barely doing any magic at all at this time (many other priorities) - no shows/performances for audiences greater than 1. I would like that to change, but..

To that eventual return (hopefully), I still read and think about things "magic", but I can't give it the time to justify a subscription, yet.

For what its worth, I would (future tense) find it interesting and valuable to see a series on restaurant magic (similar to what Eason did with bar magic )

Were going yo put Live at the Jailhouse on the site next month......Its a 3 dvd set that is all about the theory of working restaurants with Paul Green, Dan Fleshman, Kirk Charles who wrote 7 books on restaurant magic, Garrett Thomas, Dan Tong and Justin MIller....

Jim Sisti said this is the best information ever on restaurant magic....strong endorsement from someone who really knows...

And by the way IF you buy magic products its insane to not be a subscriber and take advantage of The Marketplace
