Best wishes for the future Dave.....it would have been nice if Alakazam had at least metioned Dave leaving after all the years he worked for them. No offence but Dave brought far more to Alakazam than Andy and Harry and always asked the right questions when hosting lectures compared to the others.
Obviously I will still support the shop as they still do a great job and deserve our support. |

There is a story to it. Whether the story will ever be told, well that's for David or Alakazam to decide.
Sometimes things are best left in the past. |

I've no idea what has gone on behind the scenes and I've never met Dave Loosely but I first met and have been buying effects from Peter Nardi since the 1990s and he's consistently been one of the most helpful and trustworthy magic sellers I've done business with.
I wish both of them luck going forward. |

Does anyone perform Alakazam's Features by John Anders and would not mind giving some thoughts on it?

I hate hearing Dave has left because Peter and Dave were a good team. They came up with some very good magic. I was always wondering why Dave was never spoken about on anything.
When I didn't see him on the Christmas Special I knew something was up. Alakazam is still my favorite dealer to deal with. Very good service. Allen |

And yet again! A slight variation on Triple Impact, I’ll stick with the original

Alakazam hasn't produce a new effects in a long while. Everything is the same concept with different props. I've moved on to other distributors others should do the same.

Yes! I loved his copper silver trick and his easy going affable nature. Most of the online shops offer great fast service.
They need exclusive products to set them apart.

Probably have issues due to covid in manufacturing items presently. While one concept of a trick may not suit an individual, another does, it's called choice. I believe supporting industries in our own countries is vital presently, that also includes countries that share similar values. In case you missed it, Britain has been hit hard.
Alakazam has been solid over the years, I'll continue to view their site and purchase items that appeal to my style as I know they produce quality. Companies have to make hard decisions to survive due to this pandemic, I'm sure Dave was one of those very hard decisions. But now you have another choice, as Dave has his website and products, double win for consumers. I wish both the best and will continue to support both into the future. |

I received a sort of self-congratulatory email from Alakazam (they won some kind of dealer award), no mention of Dave's contribution.

Alakazam is my source of all my re fills and new purchases Dave Loosley comes across as a great guy and was definitely the best at demonstrating new products, I find it VERY strange that he has left without any announcement from Peter of why he has gone,if he has been s__t on by Alakazam I won't order off them again ,and I have to agree with other posts most of Alakazam new releases are very poor to say the least

I never fully appreciated Dave until he was gone. I have stopped watching the Alakazam live streams because they kind of bore me without him. I also really liked his participation in explanation videos.
But by all accounts Peter is a good guy, and I wouldn't necessarily assign any bad behavior to him without just cause. I will certainly continue to support Alakazam it they put out anything that appeals to me. |

My wish for 2021
For magicians to learn to separate their posts with paragraphs. So much easier and enjoyable to read. Yep, picky. But I’m right. Many won’t read AND comprehend when it’s one long lump of words. Ok. Rant over. I love Dave !!! That sucks!!! |
