However, I was bringing to the attention of the Café the fact that a guy with only 20 posts has been aggressively plugging his own site at every opportunity. In particular that the site contains product reviews, similar to the Magic Café AND charges a fee i.e. a commercial venture. The Café is about magicians helping magicians. Not magicians helping themselves. |

Certainly nothing wrong whatsoever with Josh’s input, reviews, thoughts, etc., and I find them quite informative just as I find the same to be of many other members here. However, I’ll have to admit that it seems as if about 99% of his posts are only made when a trick has been reviewed on his site, and of course, the always ensuing link to his Website. One would have to admit that it is a tad suspect as to being on a very fine line of blatant promotion of his Website, which by the way, I enjoy. I’ll have to admit that when I first joined his site the wording seemed to be a tad ambiguous, and it seemed as though one might eventually, after some period of time, then be required to pay. But, it seems as though Josh has cleared this up, and it is indeed free. But, that does not negate the fact that he is promoting his site with every post he makes, be it free or not.
I don’t believe that it is the Café’s intention to have members promote their collective Websites, and as it well should be. I also own and run a forum site (not magic related) for some years now and this would never be allowed, but that’s my forum site. As I said, I thoroughly enjoy reading Josh’s input and I also enjoy viewing some of the reviews on his Website. Perhaps it would be more prudent of Josh to simply place his Website in his signature rather than referencing it in every post he makes. I personally, think that would be more apropos and acceptable Café decorum. Just a thought and my opinion, and I certainly hope to hear more from Josh as a Café member rather than what would seem to be someone who is simply trying to promote his Website. Make no mistake about it, as I sincerely wish Josh all the best of luck with his Website and will still visit from time to time to view further reviews, etc. Perhaps some more input/posts from Josh on various threads that does not always relate to his site (other than it being his signature) would perhaps salve any possible feelings that he is merely here to promote his Website which, by the way, I sincerely hope is not the case. Then again, only time can be the true test of that.

For anyone who knows - how does PNB compare with John Sheets "Nailed It" which he discontinued? Similar principle I assume since John said that they were a hassle to make.

Just got this but with no new instructions or DVD...argh...until I do I was wondering, having read all these threads is there a way I could break or damage this without the full 411? I'm a bit leary...

In performance, the Perfect Nail Bend is a gem. Having tried it now a few times, I've realised it's actually a very practical item, though of course, can only realistically be used once, unless you have time, place and required items for a re-set. Certainly my set seems to work perfectly. I've been careful not to stress the metal during the set up, and I like the fact that you get just enough time after removing them from the supplied carrier to introduce the effect, before the bending starts.
With some careful thoughts as to routining, and a good presentation, this really does seem like a miracle! Potty |

Has anyone found duplicate nails and if so where? I've looked at several home improvement stores and what they carry are too short.
Thanks. |

I haven't yet researched matching nails, but they look fairly standard to me. A good supplier will surely have something almost identical?

We now have new comprehensive instuctions for this along with a companion DVD which we have made for our customers. Are you producing this product? It was submitted for review in MUM by Murphy's MAgic Supplies, without instructional DVD. And the reviewer reports that he has been unable to get the nails to work as described in the brief instructions. Thanks for your time, bill Associate Editor M-U-M Magazine (S.A.M.) |
