Does anyone know anything about Snap Illusions?
Quality? Reputation? Anything? They are selling illusions from an ebay store. I didn't want to even think about buying their illusions without knowing more about them.

Snap Illusions is owned by John Moyer of Fandemonium fame, among other things.
http://stores.ebay.com/SNAP-ILLUSIONS-MAGIC-SHOP I purchased one of his Head Mover illusions, and it is built well enough, however, it doesn't fit in with the show I'm doing now. Chris |

The head mover is a different method than the oft ripped off Andre Kole model. It's been marketed by Tilfords for a few years now, though without the showing of the head box opened. So this one seems unique.
Here's alink to Tilfords one. http://www.tilfordillusions.com/headslicer.html Matt |

I liked the Sun-flower from pillowcase Illusion. It could have been a little bit more deceptive. Still to sell it for that price may actually make it more decpetive than I thought. I may consider it for my Dollar Store Magic page... OK, I've considered it...naahh!

You have got to be kidding me with that stuff. Why do so many people think they can manufacture and sell magic.

What is the effect of Pop And Twist I watched the video but I just don't get what the effect is (what am I missing)?

The effects seem very overpriced considering they don't have a reputation yet!
The website is a little annoying with the european techno stuff, and the lady who talks at the beginning, but who knows, maybe they've got good stuff! |

I have to agree the price seems high for an unknown company.

I think you guys are a little loco, if you think the only reason the stuff seems high priced is for them being unknown.

Kevin,
It's not "loco" to expect a company to establish a reputation of quality and durability before expecting that magicians pay higher prices. We don't think the only reason for "the stuff seems high priced is for them being unknown." Why the stuff is higher priced, I don't know. But that's what we're saying! It may be that the stuff is high priced because it's good quality, or because they're marking it up, or because they want to make lots of money quickly. The point is, until they have an established reputation, we just don't know! The only reason I say they seem high-priced is because if the company isn't known, we don't know the quality. It's like buying a Wellington vs. a Dominik. There are companies that are known for consistent quality, and these companies generally offer higher-priced effects. I'm not saying they can't or shouldn't offer higher-priced effects just because they're unknown. I just think magicians will be reluctant to purchase effects at that price until they know there's an established record of consistent quality. |

Dearwiseone,
I think you missed Kevins point. Re-read his post again and accent the word "ONLY" when you read it out loud. It may make more sense to you then. LOL My interpretation of Kevins post was that there are way more obvious reasons the stuff is considered too hight priced. Best, Tim |

Tim....as always, I knew I could count on you.
Kevin P.S. My apologies for not putting ONLY in caps.
