If all the pre-orders were actually shipped out by Priority Mail on Wednesday then everyone in the continental US should receive their box by Monday.

I ordered mine at Magic Live in Vegas. No idea what order number I have.....hmmmm.
I hope to get a tracking number

It's very early Monday morning in the US. I expect to see lots of Rubicon delivery posts today and throughout the week.
At least there better be.

Ooooh...scary!

Woot got another magic related item in the mail over the weekend voodoo puppet puncture thanks Michael!!! no rubicon though :/ no shipping email either for it

I will tell all the people anxiously awaiting delivery, don't be in a huge hurry. There are a couple things/moves that are not yet included in the online instructions. I communicated with Greg and he's working to shoot some more video to include the missing moves. I'm not going to touch (or certainly not TWIST) either of my cubes until I have ALL the necessary handling instructions.

They were filming extra videos last night until nearly 3am... to get slow mo of the right moves.

Glad that Greg is working hard to not only ship but to teach this well so it absorbs.

On the 19. Oct Gregory Wilson emailed:
"Great news!
Rubicon is FINALLY shipping out this week - based on the date of order.
We will send tracking numbers accordingly.
Thank you sooooo much for your patience and understanding!
Gregory"

Now it looks like only 3 persons here in the forum have got Rubicon !(?)
I still have no post and no tracking number. Also "thesecretsource" will not answer my mails.

It appears Greg couldn't bribe anyone enough to get someone to enter a thousand tracking numbers in to emails.

For me that would cause a LOT Of laughing and I don't really want this to be a comedy act ..... but I would have them laughing ...and feeling a LOT better about themselves.....

#609. Yikes. I know it's worth the wait. Just wish communication was better.

How about a review on Voodoo puppet while we all wait?

After all the delays with the physical side of things, it's a bit of a shame the Video seems rushed too? :/

I assume a lot of this is because Greg is doing everything by himself.

For those who have the cubes and end up messing them up before the updates, no way I would take one apart to put it back in order. Either wait for video or take the time and patience and learn how to solve (which I understand is a big committment).

Not Good 4 months ago was almost about to send apart from the stickers now we find out the video instructions have not even been shot

And I thought the postal service in the U.K. was bad.

One more example not to pre order anything. I stopped over a year ago now.

Almost 3 months back I had said, and may I please quote:-

not really sure where this goes? but I had already typed this out and replied to the person that asked for the review...

not really sure how to review this, given the nature of the effect but here goes:

Effect: Needle through hand

Michael creates a beautiful hand crafted item especially for you. The care and detail put into this is top notch. The construction is crafted by an expert with very good materials. This review is kind of hard for me as this doesn't come with any routine. You are just getting a puppet made by a MASTER puppeteer. Each puppet that Michael creates by hand is a one of a kind. He will walk through every step of the creation with you, to create a one of a kind puppet. This is not a cheap effect, but in my opinion you are definitely getting what you pay for. As there is no routine for this effect shipped with the puppet, this review isn't like most. I am really just really reviewing a custom made puppet and the process I kind of went through to get it.

The order process kind of goes like this, you send him an outline of your arm/hand and he will create a template based off that to create the puppet with. Michael uses excellent fabric choices and the accents for the hands and hair make the puppet stand out. The evil 'face' of the puppet is my favorite part, this thing looks pretty creepy but in a 'Tim Burton' way. Even the teeth and eyes are made from wooden materials and really make the puppet have depth instead of something being drawn/painted on. Allow him a few weeks to create your vision, then he mails it and provides tracking so it couldn't be any easier. I'm extremely happy with my purchase I would recommend anyone that likes offbeat type tricks to consider this! Michael really hits one out of the park (Go TRIBE!!!!) from start to finish he truly is a MASTER of puppets
