I actually decided to purchase the trick after watching the review. I have ordered several tricks after watching reviews on this show. Some I liked some I didn't. But I enjoy the heck out of the show and would like to see Matthew some more. He was obviously nervous but the trick worked. I enjoy the show guys keep up the good work.

Yeah, in all honesty I'd also like to see more of Matthew performing a few tricks here and then. If he could get through that fiasco, and then still insist that a trick is good, he can get through anything!

I would have had a hard time selling this effect at 50 dollars when I used to be a demonstrator in a shop. The other effect I mentioned was less than ten dollars. But then again the wallet looks like it could be used for other effects so that might have helped my sells pitch. And maybe that does justify the 50 dollar price tag. I'm sure there will be people that enjoy this effect and get good use out of it. I'm only here to share my "ridiculous" opinion. |

I'd strongly suggest you read my post again, aside from the fact that you even quoted me on it! Other than that, what else can I say, and or respond to if someone cannot bother to read what I said?

I did read what you said but clearly misunderstood it. But I am glad you corrected me on it in such a clear and forthright way so that there would be no further misunderstanding on my part. Clearly I was in the wrong but at least I wasn't merely being ridiculous since it was an honest mistake. I find it also great that you were able to get it for an additional few dollars off! 36.00 dollars seems like a very fair price. Did you pick it up at a brick and mortar shop or online? If it was online did they give you free shipping? I was off by 14 dollars which I think is a significant amount. Once again sorry about the misunderstanding. Combine with your post and Equivoques post I had gotten the impression that the effect in question cost 50 dollars. Wait a moment...I just rechecked Vanishing Inc's site. With shipping the total is $45.49. Hmmm...I guess if one were to round that up one might get the wrong idea that it costs 50 dollars. So it might have not been a mistake on Equivoques part after all. But I most certainly didn't do my research so when you said, "Other than that I’d strongly suggest you find a different magic dealer to purchase your tricks from! I got mine for $36.00 and retail price is $39.99 and not $50.00!" You meant the retail price is 39.99 at Vanishing Inc. I thought you were referring to another site you had found but again it was clearly a problem of my reading comprehension skills and I take full blame for not understanding what you meant. I hope you can accept my apology and forgive me for this grievous wrong that I have committed. The good news is now that you have clarified the matter of the price I can see that it will certainly be easier for dealers to sell it at the asking price. Not to mention other sites which charge a few dollars less. |

First prize for the smarmiest post I have ever read.

The reason I liked Matthew on the show is that he is not a professional magi. Much like myself...i just stumble through most tricks. I have some mild skill but would never be able to make a living. That said probably most professional magi would not by Legacy but not becuase its not a neat trick. It looks well made and could be fun. I show tricks to the people I work with and my wife, who almost always figures me out. I am not criticizing the trick in any way it looks wonderful and I am putting my purchase behind my interest.

When you get into the price range of this trick, or any trick for that matter, plus or minus $10.00 is a lot of money. Well, at least it is in my mind, and of course taking into consideration these difficult economic times. So with that in mind, I’ve seen Legacy referred to twice on this thread with a $50.00 price tag and I merely wanted to set the record straight, which I seem to have accomplished with the finesse of the proverbial bull in a china shop. If at all possible I order from Penguin which offers free shipping, and I always use their discount code which is why I only paid $36.00. So far every online dealer that I checked on is selling it for either $39.95 or $39.99. Well....enough said about the price, at least from me!

WOW!! How about them Braves? (For the uninitiated, that's the Atlanta Braves.)
Seriously, a deceased equine stays dead. No need to keep beating on it. Move along folks, nothing more (or new) to see here.

I love WPR and I think Dave and Craig are awesome. I read the other reviews on The Magic Café for Legacy and decided to purchase it. I have performed it twice this week and the results have been awesome! I could not be happier with my purchase. This is one of those tricks that is easy to perform and lets the magi totally focus in on the performance. I LOVE those types of effects.
