If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. I always check the seller ratings, feedback, and if he made any accounts besides that one to see if the seller is reputable and legitimate. And like Alex Chin said, if it's not made in America, it's not genuine, unless the product originated in a particular country or it was intentionally outsourced by the company.

Apple is made in China. It's that enough genuine for you? Nikon, Canon is made in China...not the pro gear, which is made in Japan or Thailand. A lot of things are made in China. Without China we'll pay more than ever for a small things. Let's say for an iPad you'll pay 40% more if this tablet is made in US. Same quality. And I didn't mention the fact that European people pay more for this stuff, shipping also. China is another world and a second Terra. A worker in China is paid with so less that they can't afford a iPad with salary on a month. 

That's true. I never disagreed with what you said, though. I said unless it is outsourced by the company. The example of Apple outsourcing capital from China is also an example of one of the exceptions I have listed. Nonetheless, I agree with what you're saying.

Design & Development / Product Concepts
« on: May 02, 2012, 02:32:52 AM »
Here at Conjuring Creations, we have several ideas that are eventually going to see the light of day. But now, I believe the focus of attention should be upon our fans. We understand that in order to succeed, it's best to look after the interest of the people, and what they would like to see. We know the joyful feeling of an idea you thought of yourself possibly being developed, and brought to life. Today, that's what we want from our fans.

So what would you like to see from Conjuring Creations in the future? Whether it's a product that would improve the industry, yourself, the way of life, or perhaps solves a problem; we want to hear your thoughts. The sky is the limit.


Take care,

How many decks would fit in it?

Only one deck or Eco Clip would fit within the dock. However, this picture only shows a rough draft of the product, and has yet to be improved. So perhaps we will decide to alter the idea to where it could hold multiple decks and/or clips.

Quote from: Aaron on April 22, 2012, 12:10:11 AM
Looks sweet! But why does the deck lay sideways?

This picture was originally presented as a dock for your Eco Clip. By design, the clip could only be fit sideways, considering the spine and the clip opening would be the only sides that could fit squarely within the dock rest. The clip would have a slight slant so the cards could fit snug. We are continuing to seek ways to improve this to where both decks and clips can fit within the dock in a very beautiful way.

Quote from: rainking187 on April 22, 2012, 12:54:22 AM
The base looks rather large to me. And is this the vita thing, or is that something else?

For one clip or deck, yes, it may seem large. As I explained in the previous quotes, we are improving this idea to where it will be more streamlined and convenient for the person who wants a beautiful, elegant display. And no, this is not the Vita event. Information on that will be released at a later date.   

Quote from: NathanCanadas on April 22, 2012, 01:03:21 PM
This looks nice and sleek. Does it also function as a clip or just as a display? Also, how easily would is be possible to remove the deck?

As a rough draft, the dock only serves as a display for the clips and/or decks. Perhaps the final product could include the functionality of a clip. Though, it would be a difficult task to conceive of. It should not be challenging in the slightest to remove a deck of cards from the dock rest. If otherwise, we will try to simplify it the best we can.

Generation Extreme by Brian Tudor is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT, will take years to learn, but can be useful.

Generation Extreme is more regarding card magic than artifice. However, he did produce a card cheating DVD "Card Sharp", but it's a very poorly produced DVD. I don't recommend any of Brian's work for card cheating, not even by a long shot. Darwin Ortiz, Ed Marlo, Steve Forte, Richard Turner, Jason England, Erdnase, Martin Nash, Michael Skinner, Gene Maze; these are guys that have good pieces of work on card cheating.

Thanks, and yes we will be creating a clip that has no design but only has the conjuring creaitons art on the spine.  The numbering on the clips were not done by the shop and that was a mes up on there part.  I apoligize for that.

Are there plans to correct this before the clip is released, or will you ship them as they are, unnumbered?

As a last resort - and something interesting - you could write in fine-point Sharpie pen the serial number on the inside spine at one end, and give it your initials at the other for authenticity.  The inside of the spine is the surface on the clip that will receive the least amount of wear and tear or contact friction with other objects.  Unless someone opts to wash their clip, the ink should remain in place for the life of the clip.

Wouldn't the side of the deck rub against that though? Maybe I'm a little confused but I would imagine that the deck would rub against that and it would wear off.

@Don Boyer Yes, we have made plans to correct this issue. It was a mistake by our manufacturer, but we greatly apologize. We may have to fix the issue ourselves or have the manufacturer solve it, we haven't came to that conclusion as of yet.

@brown_baggs Yes, but not nearly as much as the wear on the outside. As far as we are concerned, that would be the best place to include it. Though, writing it down is surely going to be taken into consideration, however, there maybe other ways to go about this.

I'm not a big clip fan, but I can tell you that you might want to consider taking the pics from the website down that show how nice the clip will look (the prototype pics)... Because when I look at the images vs. the actual clip itself, the initial pics look clean with a nice minimalist feel and the final product looks really bulky and unfinished... I think the initial pics show the consumer what could have been vs. what the reality is and I don't think it will help your business... However, good luck with your endeavor...

Jmrock, we appreciate the your criticism and we want to thank you for posting your thoughts. I understand where you are coming from. However, please keep in mind that the animations were created before we even knew what they were actually going to look like. The sole purpose for them was to give consumers and prospects just an idea or concept of what they will look like. Now that we know, we will make changes for future animations. You have a valid point and we want to thank you for your input. Take care!

Understand that if we made the spine thinner, it would probably make less durable, due to less surface area for the glue to joint the three pieces together. It's functionality vs. appearance for most of you. In my opinion (though it may be biased), I think it looks very good with the thick spine.


Thanks for the feedback,

@Brandon Beckman - I had check all that you said, and, although I knew the risks of his products being counterfeits, I also knew that they would most likely be worth the 10$ I was paying. And I was right.
Although those are fakes, they may and are probably worth what you are paying though. 4 clips for 20$, how bad can that really be? At worse, they will protect your cards a bit or protect them from warping!
I just realized that my fake porper clip actually has a signature by "Joseph Porper" and not "Joe Porper" LOL

I understand that, and I'm glad you are happy with what you got. I'm just saying if you buy from a counterfeit seller again, you may not be so lucky the 2nd time...

For these reports, what date ranges would you like ours to come from. e.i. last 30 days, last two months, lifetime, ect.

Preferably the last 30 days. That's a good enough range to see how much traffic you receive, and whether or not you have good audience retention and growth.

 If you're ever thinking about getting into the retail business, make sure you buy the right wholesale goods from the right people. There are many wholesalers based in China that sell counterfeit merchandise, especially electronics. The only legitimate products that you can buy are generic goods, not name brand crap.
 
 I've seen quite a few ebay sellers unknowingly buy fake merchandise, sell it, receive many emails from very angry customers, and have their account shut down for selling counterfeit goods. The Federal Trade Commission won't repay you back for the money lost, and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement will come knocking at your door if you import enough fake goods from China. Take everything with a grain of salt and be smart, that's all.

The Erdnase Bottom Deal is an excellent move, and it's a great entry-level bottom deal. First, I would master the Erdnase grip before you move on, it will make the deal significantly easier. When Erdnase mentioned "in and out," he means the ring finger to loosen that bottom card by buckling it in, and pushing it out to the side. The tip of the ring finger should be against the face of the bottom card while you're doing this.

After you get the Erdnase Bottom Deal down, I recommend you jump into Marlo's Master Grip from Seconds, Centers, Bottoms. In the grip, you can do a second, bottom, center, and true deal all in one position. This is great from a performance aspect, considering every deal looks exactly the same, and it will eliminate the need to change grips for each deal.


Thanks,
