Got a nice amount of packages with various magic related product in them today, all products I was worried that I wouldn't even receive before Christmas (Especially with my living here in Australia). Anyway here's a picture of it all and ill give you a quick run-through of all of it below :).






Package 1 - 4 Decks of Bike's Standard (Don't perform card magic or practice with anything else really, lots of signed cards make me only stick to Bikes, and I go through a lot for that reason :P)
Package 2 - My first Issue of Magic Magazine from my 12 month subscription (Christmas Present), $8 a month is pretty good for me, especially seeing as it says  it cost $9.18 to send to Australia on the package and the magazine costs $6 normally on top of that.
Package 3 - Some new items and replacements of old items for my kids shows and for my new stage show I'm developing. (Kids Show - Hopping Spots, Candy Factory, Candy Pan - Replace my old clunky Dove pan that's mechanism broke, and drooping flower as the ring broke off my old one & also a pad of flash paper for a flash appearance stage illusion)


Lots of things to play around with and read, exciting day :)
Mystery is the basic appeal of magic. Once the secrets are known, the magician becomes a mere manipulator, an actor in a suspense drama which has little impact because the audience knows the ending in advance.

I live in Newcastle, 2 hours North of Sydney (By Driving), I usually just get mine off Ebay, but I won a $25 gift voucher from Amazon and bought something for my Kindle and had about $15 left so got these 4 decks shipped to me for $3.75 ea which is really good for riders in Australia :) Where do you get ours from and how much do they cost you :)

Phantom and Moon - which packages are you two waiting for?

The only Black Friday deal I'm waiting on at this point is a brick of Black Crowns, along with three each of the V2 colors and the freebie t-shirt.  They may be in my post office box already.

Moon, did you place two identical orders?  If not, you're showing one screen capture TWICE, and the third one's not present.

Where are your items being delivered?  Did you receive and email with your order confirmation?  And your delivery confirmation?

Haha, my bad... Two files with the same order ::) I fixed the attachments.
I got the shipping confirmations for all three. One is being shipped to my grandparents since I moved from there about a month ago and had already placed the order(the shipping was an insane 6 to 8 weeks :-\ ), and the two big ones will be shipped here. The one with the LTD decks should be there by monday if the shipping time is standard, and the artifice one will be in a couple weeks.

Is all of this domestic, international, intergalactic, interplanar?

Judging from the time it's taking so far, it's not domestic.  I usually receive an order placed with E within 2-3 days after it was placed.  They're freakin' fast, especially compared to some.

Intergalactic. ::)
I'm Canadian, at least the prices are better than Europe, but it still takes horribly long. :-\

What delivery method did you choose?  I just completed a trade with a Canadian who's not exactly next door to me - my package went out after Black Friday by quite a few days, but it was shipped USPS Priority Mail International.

Hmm lets see... I always picked the cheapest, which isn't necessarily the same from one order to another.
Artifice: First-Class Mail International Package
LTD: Priority Mail International
Sample pack: First-Class Mail International Package

...And somehow the sample pack had a longer shipping time than the Artifice order, the later being 2-6 weeks rather than 6-8 :-\ it was a major city too(Montreal), so it should've been the opposite logically...

Oh well, priority should be 6 to 10 days, so it should be here by Monday. As for the others, only time will tell. ::)
