Hello geckguy,
I run the Astonishment Project so I guess I probably would be the best to tell you about us. Here goes nothing:

We are currently running 25% off until July 9th.

We carry 6,400 items.

All orders received before 3pm Eastern Time ship the same day.

All transactions on the site are completely safe and we don't store any of your personal credit card information on our site. As a matter of fact we don't even see it. It's processed by the largest and most reliable credit card processor in the world.

If you have any other questions you can email me at jason@theastonishmentproject.com or you can pm me.

Thanks for your interest and we hope to see you on The Village.

Best,
Jason Messina

Come everyone, let's support Paul and this project and order.Plus, with a $50 order ( freeshipoping ) you get the new Reel Magic DVD Magazine:

"I really want everyone at The Astonishment Project to see this interview. So here’s what I’m thinking…Anyone who helps support The Astonishment Project with an order over $50 gets one of these Reel Magic DVD Magazines for free. They normally retail for $10! Don’t forget that we still have a 25% off discount till midnight on July 9th. So make sure you take advantage of the discount AND this free gift. If you get Reel Magic Magazine anywhere else it will cost $10. Plus, no one in the magic world has ever offered so many items at such a large discount.

And to everyone who requested it, you can now pay with PayPal directly through the site. Just pick out your stuff, go through checkout and push the PayPal button. You know the rest."

Placed my first order last week and got it today. I ordered before they offered the free DVD but I did get a free package of Pop Secret Popcorn. Hey. Anything for free works for me. Great service. I used PayPal and it worked seamlessly.

Peace

I don't have any idea of what it would cost to ship to Montreal. But I took the FREE SHIPPING option (economy 7-9 days) and had it in less than a week. It doesn't get cheaper than that.

Mitchell,
Shipping out of the country is never cheap, especially if done right (with tracking, insurance, etc). After it was brought to our attention that we only had the most expensive international options for shipping we quickly added more ways to ship. As of right now all your shipping fees are figured out indepently by the United States Post Office. We are offering the actual cost of shipping based on weight as figured out by USPS website (we only add a dollar to cover packaging).
If you have any specific questions about your situation I would be more than happy to help you figure out the shipping method that is best for you.
Hope this enlightens...

And they have a random 25 items on sale everyday for 25% off. Just look for the 25/25 under the "shop" tab.

Jason at the Astonishment Project wrote everyone with this update:
___________________________
"Hello,
Just wanted to let everyone know that we have made some key changes to the
website. Everything (all 6,400 items) are going to be discounted everyday all
the time. You don't have to wait for weekend sales and you don't have to buy a
certain amount to save money everyday on the items that you want.

Also, we have a category on the shop that was called 25/25. Everyday 25 random
items were thrown in the category and discounted 25%. Well, since it was so
popular we decided to change it a bit. Now it is 250 items at 25% everyday! We
really have no idea what is going to pop up or when. A program does all the
work for us. So you never know what great effects you'll find! Check it out:
http://www.theastonishmentproject.com/shop/specials.php

As if this isn't enough, you told us what you really wanted and we listened.
You told us that you want the latest magic at the best prices and you want to
hear an honest to goodness review. So I'll be plowing through the latest stuff
and picking out the very best way before anyone else has had a chance to look at
it. Then we'll give you the best price we possibly can on it. Check out
http://www.theastonishmentproject.com/shop/index.php every day for the newest
magic at the prices you want.

I realize that customer service is one of the most important components to
running a successful business. That's why I personally handle that vast
majority of emails and phone calls. Who can give better service than the guy who
runs the operation? If you need anything at all or have any questions please
call 1.800.460.2674 or email me at jason@theastonishmentproject.com.

In a nutshell here's what we are offering to you:

1. Same day lightning fast shipping.

2. We'll match any price on any item we carry at any time!

3. We have the most knowledgable staff of magicians in the universe ready to
answer any question you might have. And if they can't answer it then we'll turn
to our own in house master. I'll give you a hint, his initials are PH.

4. The site is super secure and we don't see or save any of your credit card
information. We let the world's largest credit card processor handle that. You
can rest safe knowing that your private information will remain private!

5. We have the best prices on the latest magic, bar none. Guaranteed!

6. With over 6,400 items in our shop you can get lost in the astonishment so we
have Hand Picked close to 1,000 items. This is the best of the best and we know
you'll love them. Just click on the Hand Picked category in the shop!

7. Every item comes with our special 30 day return policy. Worry Free shopping!

8. You can call us Toll Free in the US for any reason at any time and with any
question. We love to hear from our peeps! Put this number in your speed dial
1.800.460.2674

9. We will have the newest Paul Harris Presents exclusives before anyone else in
the world.

And if there is anything else you'd like to see please let us know"

I have tried to order from them twice in the last several days. When "signing up" it puts you in an endless loop. Then when I finally got past that, it says they will send me an e-mail and to follow the instructions in the e-mail to activate the account. I never recieved an e-mail.

I've placed two orders with Jason and team so far and not only did the orders arrive quickly with the items expertly packaged, but the prices were the best available, not to mention the free shipping. The bonus package of popcorn with each order was a real treat and very much appreciated. Little extras, even something as simple as the popcorn, on top of great prices, terrific service and free shipping, really encourage my repeat business.

I find it INCREDIBLE the c... you have to wade through trying to order from this company
Haven't they heard of PAYPAL
I wanted to order from them not to marry them
Is this a covert CIA project?
I gave up

Hello teejay,
We have the option to pay through PayPal on the site......

As for the covert CIA project, I'd prefer not to comment on that at this time.....

I was sorry to see the elimination of the free shipping option. I'm always willing to wait a few days longer to receive my order and this is absolutely a feature that wins my attention and my repeat business. Oh well... back to MJM.

I signed up and never got a confirmation email either. There looks like some promising material on the site and would like to look into it, but can't get to where I need to be.....
