Tim Trono says it should be up by Monday. And a few days after, Ultravisual Nightshades should be up for sale exclusively on theastonishmentproject.com.

If the difference is having only 20 items, what is good about it. I am sorry to say it, but they just lost me as a customer.

Before anyone makes judgemnets about the Atonishment Project, I think you owe it to yourself to read home page blog. It was not what I was expecting ( I thought they were down to upgrade to offer every single magic item every created ).
Well...they have gone in a new and what I think is an exciting direction. They have have my support. Things don't change unless people take risks and are true to their vision. I'm excited about what's coming. Yes, I'm a huge Paul Harris fan and it's the exclusive place for all new Paul Harris Presents products. I'm hooked and in the boat!

I just read the latest blog entry. Admirable (if not necessary) position to take. Jason, you still have my interest. So... Paul is no longer associated with the site? Curious...

I fully understand because I have gone through all these painful decisions have to make that Jason Messina wrote on his web site blog.
It is simply not an easy task to run a retail business, especially magic business in 21 century. Magic secret can spread to the other side of the world by simply upload it and share it to any place where the computer is on-line. Besides, it is frustrating to doing the same thing every day, upload new items, order new items, re-order sold out items, looking for item to sell, check email orders, answer FAQ¡K packing the parcel, mail it, web maintenence¡K It is because I have done this before... The result may not be the same as you want to be, although I want to provide the best customer service, and competitive price to all our customers. There are always some magic shops nearby will sell the same items cheaper than you. What you expect an on-line magic shop have service to customer despite of lowest price gurantee + free shipping as the ultimate weapons to all other competitors? Bricks and mortar magic shop simply hard to survive, no matter how much we praise their expertise and real people face to face experience¡K Now the wild fire spread to on-line magic shop ¡K I tried not to write the above but I just cannot help myself, because I own a brick and mortar magic shop with on-line web site, but due to dispute with one of the partners, the web site need to be close, not to mentioned some smart shop in our neighbourhood like to sell everything below the wholesale price from Murphy¡¦s magic; Of course, thanks to PSP and all other BT problems, DVDs are simply a piece of trash in my shop, some of them every cover with dust since they arrive 2 years ago¡K All are simply life experience, an experience thinking the business is too good. It just make me depress for years, spent every penny I hardly save. Now that is the retail business of magic.
Most memorable moment - with Maestro Juan Tamariz & Consuelo Lorgia in FISM Busan 2018.

Hello Magiguy,
Paul is still very much involved in the site. However I am now the sole owner of The Astonishment Project. We speak on a daily basis and will be working on lots of new stuff involving his older work and new stuff. Like I said in the blog, things are pretty much the same except for some legal stuff. In addition to the new PH Presents items that we'll be releasing exclusively from TAP, there are also some interesting things that are in development. The Miracle Method is one and The DNA of Astonishment is another. I'll be talking about these soon eough in my blog though so stay tuned... Hello Steven, I'm sorry to hear that things didn't go so well for you and hope that things are going better for you now... Best...Jason |
