Yes thanks Preston for the info , I for one like the Other Brothers as they are very likeable and very amicable human beings .
They are a breath of fresh air to the magic community imo and also kind of Laurel and Hardy slapstick like in their humour imo |

Hi All,
Has anyone from the UK managed to get one of these yet or found anywhere that actually has them in stock as most places are special order only? Any help would be greatfully received. Regards Dr Rob |

As I’ve said before - Vanishing Inc seems to have lost its groove a little.
The way “of dice and men” release was handled seemed really odd. I hope Andi and Josh perhaps come down to earth a little, put the glasses of red vino down... and recommit themselves to superlative service.

On Nov 7, 2018, DrRob wrote: It is listed on our website a special order at present which means it would come in on one of our 3 deliveries per week from Murphys. When an item is new like this unless we are given prior notice of the release we will not receive them for around 1 - 3 working days after release. The initial order we put on is nearly always sold by the time it arrives so it stays on special order status until the next batch arrives a few days later. You could ask why don't we order more? We are running a business and as stock is available within a few days we don't need to hold more than a few days stock and we need to see how popular a new item will be. The issue with special orders is that if you order from a shop that only gets a delivery from Murphys once a week or 2 weeks you wait for ages, but we have 3 deliveries per week so you are at best 1 working day away from despatch or 4 if all goes wrong and there is a flight delay. We are very transparent and honest with our lead times but I can understand how ordering as a special can put some people off. With a popular items it can stay at special status for some time if the amount coming in on the next order keeps selling out. With ourselves just get your order in and if ordered on a Thurs / Friday for example it will be with us on Monday and be shipped to you, Sat / Sun / Monday orders ship on Wednesday, Tues / Wednesday orders on a Friday (plus 1 day on each if a flight is delayed which does not happen very often) which is pretty good even though I say so myself.

Thanks
On the subject of the book it is very good and very good value for money, if you like book tests you should be happy with this. We still have free stock available at present from our delivery that is due to arrive in the UK on Monday. https://www.saturnmagic.co.uk/saturn-mag......ick.html

Yes good service, however, do not have first class post ‘standard’ as an option. I’m never in to sign for my mail and it’s a 10 mile round trip to pick up from the depot.

I'll be very interested to read a few reviews from others (i.e. non-dealers/ please, no offense). I like the Other Brothers (very likeable persons) but a few of their releases have been a bit disappointing.

This is very cleverly constructed. My only two critiques: I wish things like this were priced a bit higher to keep them from being purchased simply to satisfy a curiosity. But that’s a small complaint. Secondly, I wish the book was formatted properly for a novel. It seems every new book test that involves a gimmicked book gets this wrong. The only one I’ve seen done correctly is the MOABT pocket size (which is appropriately priced). These others just scream ‘fake book’ to me.
But again, the methodology here is quite nice. And fun. And I do like these guys.
It's all in the reflexes.

I'm very curious- what's the something-something?
Announcing that this is a privately printed book written by an author with no previously published work and without the benefit of an editor?

Thank you Tom for a truthful and honest opinion on this particular book test. With all the different styles of book tests out there, it can be difficult finding the right thing for your set without spending a tremendous amount of money if you're buying them. Especially when you factor in that some of the best out there are no longer available except on the secondary market. That alone can make it tempting to buy inexpensive ones like this in hopes that it lives up to the hype. I'll be passing on it myself. I'll stick with my Becker, Hoy, Edmunds, and Karmilovich. Take care guys.
