Steve has dispatched a replacement, however if anyone that has pre-ordered prefers not to wait a few more days, Peter over at Alakazam has had his package arrive, so can probably dispatch you one out on Monday. Just drop the guys at MoM an email and they can refund you right away. Hope this helps Dominic

Greetings to my friends in the UK.
I shipped Animal Instinct on the 27th of September. It arrived in London on October first. The package that was destined for Alakazam got delivered. The package for the Merchant of Magic was somehow lost - the tracking information stops at Heathrow, where I assume it would go through the normal customs process and move on - but it hasn't moved on. Well, rather than wait for it to straighten itself out, I mailed a second, complete parcel to Dominic today. So, if it is handled as I have come to expect over the years, it should be there 4 or 5 days from now. However, after this last episode in customs (and likewise for one or two other shipments to the UK), I cannot make promises, and neither can anyone anticipating a package. Shipping used to be sure-fire, and now it seems intermittently hit or miss, for whatever reason - you folks in the UK probably have a better handle on that than I do. Unless lightning strikes twice, you should hopefully have it by the end of next week - and I hope the solution I have undertaken will be suitable for everyone. Of course, if somehow the mystery package comes sooner, even better. Apologies and thanks to anyone who was inconvenienced, and many thanks to all the others who are enjoying performing Animal Instinct. By the way, every other package I shipped, quickly arrived at the destination. Free shipping did not curtail any other delivery - I hope you enjoyed the savings. -Steve

I too have been affected by the delay/loss.
These things happen. However hats off to Steve for his concern and sending another batch. And also to Dominic at Merchant of Magic for his swift responses to emails I have sent him. It is good to have such splendid and caring service and with both Steve and MOM a credit to the magic fraternity. I'm more than happy to wait a few more days, especially as there have been such favourable reviews to Animal Instinct. Neil |

It would be nice to hear from Peter at Alakazam in a similar manner to Dominic. Bought and paid for two months ago......still not received.

Got mine from Alakazam last week so I know that they had them in stock and I did not pre-order.

Having waited a little while for this effect, the wait was worth it.
This is a very neat and clever idea and, while not in a miracle class, it is an intriguing and very practical effect and one I will definitely enjoy using on friends and on a one to one basis. Well done Steve. Neil |

It's not THAT good! Some of the time when the animal picture comes out of the envelope I have had to point it out to my helper.

I agree with most opinions expressed thus far.
This is novel and a good trick. But I agree with others that it is not a great one. It's something that most will do a few times and then it will end up in the drawer or being sold. Not because it is bad or there is anything wrong with it, it just doesn't pack the punch compared to so many other things you could do. IMO. Personally, my recommendation would be to put the money you would spend on this towards a Svenpad and then you have a great utility item that could be used to similar effect in an almost infinite number of ways, while at the same time being more of a fooler to boot. |

"You will have them completely entranced with this lovely new mental effect that is an absolute KILLER"
"The effect is stunning" The creator has a different opinion. |

I might hold back on ordering it until I see what Peter Nardi shows on the Vlog (Alakazam)VIDEOMAN states you would be better putting your money towards a Sven Pad,they are expensive to buy when you can make your own for about 50 pence in less than 10 mins.I always support the creator of an effect even buying B/Wave when I could just buy the gimmicked card,but the charge for the Sven Pad is too high and an old principle too

I do this slightly differently. ..removing a little heat from the prediction card. I place the prediction on the table and continue as per instructions. I have noticed it is easy to keep track of where each special animal card is, so, I will know what animal they have chosen. So I then produce my prediction first, before they turn over their card. When they do and see it is the same animal, one of two things happen....they will reach for the animal cards or they will not...in which case I say " maybe they are all Mr Froggie," then they go for the cards. While they are looking I place the prediction back in the envelope and put it away.

Thanks Westo, I also like that idea and approach.
Also, with the printed cards supplied, it is possible to use them in other ways too. |

Got this in today. Not too impressed. Yes, very easy to do but I've already seen one of the reveals a wee while ago on facebook, and a bit afraid there will be quite a few folk who know exactly what is going on !
