Not workers. And I believe I'm not the only one who thinks that.<br /><br />Same thing as wristbands are the black layered, ultraviolet glows in the dark deck with stemapunk jokers. And don't get me started with those artifact coins.<br /><br />Bob Kohler, Axtell, Wolf Magic, Outlaw and others are brands for pros. Still, if they had wristbands, I don't see the point.<br /><br />Do you want to look cool, or do you want to entertain?Dante Deckmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00004975007661333178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8614376202473604721.post-28080263042260089062012-11-20T11:16:46.834-08:002012-11-20T11:16:46.834-08:00I recently joined the IBM and today I received a n...I recently joined the IBM and today I received a nuce letter confirming my membership, including a fancy certificate and a button. I see no difference between the IBM button and the wristband. Ellusionist is very smart selling this as it will enhance brand loyalty by adding a sense of community. If anything wearers might be asked what the wristband stands for and then they can break out in spontsneous magic. <br /><br />The comment about the box is needed to focus attention away from the band itself - a cheap piece of plastic. Research shows that people are willing to pay more for the same thing if it is in a nice box. <br /><br />What Ellusionust is doing here is textbook contemporary marketing. <br /><br />This is fairly new to the magic community. Secrets are a now a commodity and there is nothing that can be done to stop this development. <br /><br />The value proposition of contemporary magic shops is the same as weight loss programs or self-help products: buy this and you can become a better person.

And for that reason I would not perform most of the stuff from e anyway. (I like to believe I have more interesting things to say than look, wait and watch.)<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07018829271570741689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8614376202473604721.post-71630070642486229392012-11-18T17:29:34.950-08:002012-11-18T17:29:34.950-08:00Hugo Boss, Gucci, Louis Vuitton etc move over!!

Most magic providers sell this sort of swag. Shirts, bracelets, dog tags etc with their stuff on them and unless they put the URL on the band it's not like some spectator will look at the band and automatically know where to buy magic.Magnus Asbjornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07399617945467186968noreply@blogger.com
