@Bats-
Thanks for the heads-up on posting on the public page. Whew! I could have had a rave happening before I knew it.

It's one of those free sites they set up for someone who buys a domain name. They more than likely had many people hack into the website. Again, not hard to do when they use a free login program that is outdated on their website. Have fun boys. I know the hackers must be. (lol) |

I think it is silly that you can't describe what you got. What are people going to do recreate it? They would not have enough information to do so anyway. This is also another marketing ploy, magicians want magic that other magicians don't have. But they also like to brag about it to those other magicians. So rest assured that eventually the whole thing will be exposed. Otherwise you will just have some tricks like any other tricks that you show your family and friends, since this seems to be geared towards the hobbiest. But then what are you going to do? Probably reveal it and/or sell it. No one can buy back issues, so who really cares if the effect is described? It is just a ploy to sell it and make those who buy it feel "special".
But no one is going to care about any reviews that describe "something" or "nothing". And I am sure those who post empty reviews will have a full inbox to deal with, and a lot of angry members disliking them because they won't say anything. Enjoy the harrassment. You at least get to feel like a celebrity for awhile. I won't bother looking at any empty review threads though as there really is no point.
The great trouble with magicians is the fact that they believe when they have bought a certain trick or piece of apparatus, and know the method or procedure, that they are full-fledged mystifiers. -- Harry Houdini

Wha'??? Sirbrad is back??? On April Fools Day??? Shoulda known....
And I agree with your conclusions, er, um, Sir. Seems the most likely outcome. With that, (my two cents), my short response to your post is not meant to launch more of your lengthy vitriol aimed at us old, weak, pathetic, uninspired---and whatever the hell other adjectives you choose to inject---fellow magi whose goal is simply "magicians helping magicians."

It's funny. There are numerous threads and posts on this site about how easy it is for a spectator -- if they're very intrigued or engaged by a performance of an effect -- to simply google a few keywords and then come up with a link to a discussion about that trick, a video demonstration or exposure of the trick, or the sales-page for that trick. So Real Secrets has this idea to release tricks that will not have any online presence. That will be un-googleable. And people are like, "hey, why can't we talk about the tricks!" You realize that defeats the whole purpose, right?

You really think they have had "many people hack into the website"? To what end? All financial transactions are done through paypal. (you do realize, of course, that paypal doesn't share your financial details.) So what information do you think people are "hacking" into that site for? You sound like someone whose sum total of computer knowledge comes from falling asleep halfway through watching Swordfish one day on TBS. |

I hope that the Real Secrets crew opens a restricted forum for subscribers only.
It'll keep out some of the riff-raff who haven't subscribed from spoiling it for others.
