I just received the reel few days ago, watched the VDO and play around for a while. So I would like to add a brief review for those who is interested.
First of all, the reel is hardly anything 'revolutionary' - this world is being used too general now. In fact, I have making similar unit, with gimmicks on hand for my own use, long time ago. And I am pretty sure I am not alone. The magic being demo are nothing new. If you are an IT junkie like me, you properly know how to perform them all already. That say, I believed that the unit does provide the functions as the adv suggested. And a proper made device is always better than those we hand made for a quick usages. However, after considered all the good and bad discussed above, I believed that the device is certainly overpriced. Hopes this review is helpful for you fellow. |

If you would be so kind as to answer 2 quick questions about Surya's device: 1) Do they offer any new options for impromptu hookups? For instance, can I attach to a borrowed drinking straw or ecigarette? 2) How much does a Vectra refill cost? Thank you in advance |

Imprompt hook up? what do you mean? Surya's device is a gimmick by itself and it do not need another outside anchor pt to hook up at all. If you want to float a cig or straw, there is no problem at all and you do not need any preparation or setup; provided that you already have the device under your clothes.
Hopes this help |

Genie Gene,
I do not own the device so I can't say for sure if it can float a cigarette or straw. But I did ask that question myself and the creator wrote back and said the device is able to perform l**p type effects only. If you can float a cigarette in the manner you are thinking, using a l**p, then you are good to go. If you are not, then I suggest you look into this further. |

I see what you mean. Yes you are quite right.
If you want move the cig up and dwn and into your mouth, I don't think the device can do that. The device can only form a small loop which can only maintain (hover) a cig in mid air. |

When you consider the price, keep in mind that a regular ITR costs $40.00 ea $60.00 for an ITR with Vectra. You get two original Kevlar Boss ITR's that had to be custom designed to work with the new housing.
(So it includes $80.00 worth of ITR's, a DVD typically might cost $24.97 that comes up to $104.97 total) So it is actually selling at a wholesale price all things considered here. 40% Comes with a beautiful velvet box, foam cut insert to protect the reel during shipping, full color label, a real class act on the packaging. Two new molds had to be custom designed and machined to make the housings, to make this product possible. Considering there are many tricks on the market that sell well above this price, it can do far more routines than the Spider Pen Pro in terms of the practical nature of the handling, I don't believe the claim of overpriced is justified for the working pro who will use this and understand the advantages. It comes with 8 Routines, James plans on posting 4 or 5 more bonus routines for free, the rising card in my opinion is better then the new mechanical version that sales for nearly $200.00 as you can borrow the deck and do the exact same trick and end clean. All things considered, I see it as a great value for the price, I think most people will end up feeling this way about, especially after they put it to use for a few months and truly realize how valuable this tool really is. I can do a 20 minute set with just Surya's device. Pk touches, rising card, floating finger ring, Mind over matter experiments, haunted deck and the linking rubber bands. Almost cover an entire show if you added a few other impromptu effects and had excellent routines developed for these effects. All I can say is I love mine and won't leave home without it. I suggest using it for a few months and realize the huge improvements in practicality, this is where the value of the product is truly realized. |

I received mine today.A great magical device indeed.
Surya and James George teach the routeins thoughly. The getting ready and easy clean ending is awesome... I am very happy with this purchase.They also go over taking it apart to fix and retieing the device. I love all of the routeins taught with this device. I have always loved loops and this takes it to the next level. The case it comes in is top knotch also.looks like a nice jewelry case. Todd |

My advice to you would be to go through whatever process you need to do with Paypal, credit card, whatever..., in order to get your money back.

You won't be able to calm a refund from paypal etc without first waiting for > 1 month. So what you can do now is trying to contact the seller as possible. 2 week waiting is seen as 'normal' unfortunately.

But I believe that one cannot open a Paypal dispute after 45 days Xcath, so watch your timing.

I discussed this issue with James about his web site, their is no shipped option selected. Typically it goes to processing and you will then know your order has shipped. Please bare in mind that some of the items are built on demand and can take a week or so to put together.
James said he can post the tracking numbers here. He currently does not do any of the shipping, it is all done from Uday's factory direct with tracking numbers. It can take a week or so to clear customs. Many of the orders are directly drop shipped from Murphy's also, James also recommends Penquin Magic as a great option if you are in a rush to receive things. James will let you know in advance if it needs to be built and must ship from the factory in Bangalore. Also his direct e-mail is Sorcerymfg@gmail.com Thanks guys, James is committed to always making customers happy if given the chance,it is why his company has been around for 22 years now, while so many shops come and go. Granted he did have some issues in the past because of his move to Bangalore, but every thing is now settled and back to normal. If anyone has experienced and problem, please have them contact James at this e-mail and he will resolve any issues immediately, his continued great reputation in this industry is very important to him. Thanks again everyone! I work with both James and Uday, I am in charge of communications on behalf of both. |
