My folding half lo...Just wanna pop in and comment:<br /><br />My folding half looks just like the one in the picture, but I didn't get it from this China store thingy. I got it from a Brick-And-Morter shop. So maybe the coin gimmick isn't an accurate representation. Could ya get another picture or is that the only case?Tensaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05057413904477052265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8614376202473604721.post-74804728075978635492012-03-26T18:48:17.617-07:002012-03-26T18:48:17.617-07:00Roland, it is just sad to see that.
I can tell yo...Roland, it is just sad to see that.<br /><br />I can tell you the actual situation on the other side of the planet ‘cause I am living there.<br /><br />In Hong Kong, most magic shops sell these rip offs from China and those who still carry original items have little or no support from customers. Those shop that sell rip offs treat those products as toys for kids and see no value besides selling them as much as they can.<br /><br />Besides without monetary return to creators, my hatred goes to those shop without being responsible to carry out the responsibility of a magic shop, that is, to help the growth of magic ability of their customers and ultimately another Magic Champion might come up in one of their shop, who knows?<br /><br />Declaration conflict of interest: I am one of those who suffered from those rip offs and closed my magic shop in late 2008. <br /><br />Am I angry? Hell yeah!<br /><br />Anything I can do? Not much.<br /><br />Are those kids using rip off will grow in their level of magic? I hardly see another kid with sufficient skill in the last 5 years in my city.<br /><br />Besides my loss of the shop, did I get bad during my performance? Absolutely not, because I use genuine product + pure sleight of hand, even a simple Ambitious Card with perfect execution audience still feel amazing, no matter how bad magic they saw previous.<br /><br />That’s life on the other side of the globe.<br /><br />Did I tell you that magic instructional DVDs here sold for US$3 each with most lastest release? 7 years ago these rip off shop still hold something back and sell them at US$35 and now since every kid can open a magic shop who will think of proper profit margin in magic retailing these days.the Minutemenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13133923666580524435noreply@blogger.com
