Pages and pages of discussion here, but this is a pre-order and has an “expected delivery” of the end of February 2026. I know some of you have rules about pre-orders and I know others of you worry about the words “expected to ship”. You’ve got a wonder for this amount of money wouldn’t it be better to have the original option at the lower price for those that don’t want to break the bank? Also, how much better is this than healed and sealed that came out years ago. I have used that several times. I wish you the best with your sales on this item, but I will have to pass on this one.

Thanks for the review, Madison. Anyone on the fence about this product should read it. I'm excited to learn this, but I still agree with you about the price: it seems priced for professionals but better suited to hobbyists who will use it in more casual situations.

Mad respect for what you’re doing here on the forum and your advertising. But at the end of the day, you’ve priced yourself out of the market for this hobbyist. It’s just a penetration. It requires a soda can. Most summer days I’m drinking from a twist top, don’t by soda cans much any more. I could see myself spending maybe $25 -$30 for a method with no gimmicks for an effect like this. But best of luck to you and enjoy!

Got my order in at the discounted price. Looks like a great one to always have in the back of your mind to be able to use at the right impromptu moment.

Given this has already been seen and endorsed by many magicians, I'm not worried about not getting my money's worth. If it's a bit late, I don't mind that either, I'm in no hurry. I just felt it was worth it at half price, not worth it at full price. There are already several reliable reviews, it seems to me.

Will the early bird price be extended?

IS IT WORTH IT???
Depends what's your formula for measuring products worth... I would say it’s 4 things: 1. How IMPOSSIBLE is the effect (There's nothing more impossible in the plot then spec being able to do it themselves with their own can) 2. How PRACTICAL are the methods (Everyone who have SEEN the methods are saying these are the most practical methods for the plot they WILL use) 3. Does the PLOT fit into your life (An everyday item is used - everyone can find themselves in situations where they can perform it) 4. The QUALITY of the tutorial/teaching (This is what I'm known and praised for.) In comparison -Hector Mancha sold a product with 1-on-1 session with him for $500. Cantastic 2.0 in the same plot costs $175. (Feel free to compare the routines/value) With TBS you get 1-in-1 session with the creator AND a masterclass for €125 (Less with the current discount) So, yes, not for everyone, but I think the value you get is fair.

Just a tip. Either something is impossible or it is not. It can not be more impossible. If it is more impossible it wasn’t impossible in the first place.
Also the reason coin or any object in bottle is so impressive is it is visual. That is where this particular effect falls short for me. Bottles are clear, cans are not. Yes you hear it or whatever but that visual moment of the coin going into the bottle is lost here. Not to mention the gimmick is orders of magnitude less expensive. I am certain this is well made and if you are looking for this particular thing maybe it is great. There are also some great alternatives. And if price is a deciding factor there are some equal options less pricy.

I suspect Hector did not sell a lot of $500 packages. Of course creators can charge what they like but I think you would make more sales and make more money overall if priced more reasonably say as some have suggested $30 to $40. You could charge extra for a one on one session if you choose. I can only think that the financial model here is to make as much in presales as possible as I think few are going to pay $150 for instructions for a “good” trick. Of course if regular people (magician endorsements don’t count for much) start jumping on after its release and saying it’s the greatest effect of all time and a bargain at twice the price then I am wrong and congratulations.

But there aren't any sales for this product at this 'full price'... the 'full price' is made to give you the excitement of the discount... and that is sold to you as a FOMO discount to boot. This is all BS sales funnel 101 tactics. My guess is 90%+ of sales for this product will be presales. Then there will be 0 sales.... until there is a discount to post about [Summer, Black Friday, New Year, etc] - the discounts' will be desperate ... "I'm having a 27th of August sale" etc Don't buy this because of the sale price. It will be the same, and then cheaper afterwards. Buy it now - if you have to have it now. |

Nail on head.
If you can't create excitement about the product, create fake sense of urgency.
