Um, magic has been around a lot longer than a hundred years. I belive your looking for thousands of years to be one of the oldest tricks in magic.

Yes, I was referring to Houdini, the creator, and since he died in 1926, it's safe to say that is over 100 years old.

We can make you a curtain and a bag if interested.
How much are you willing to spend on this?

But it says, "one of magic's oldest tricks". Now if it is over a hundred years old, and magic dates back to the egyptians(thousands of years), that would mean no new magic was created since the Egyptians untill Houdini came along....

That's all I am saying.

I'm not trying to get technical here, just trying to sell a quality product!

LOL, and I am only messing with you. You do have some nice looking props at your site. I may be looking into some in the future, so keep a look out for me.

Haha! Thanks for the complement!

We will have some new products coming out soon, but right now, I'm working on my own show. I just signed a deal with a resort to do my illusion show weekly, so right now, most of my time and energy is being put towards planning that.

I'm still building illusions and cases, and will continue to take orders at this time!

How old are you? No offense, but if I wanted to buy expensive illusions, I would buy it from a more trusted source.

Have you looked at these trunks? They're better quality than half of whats on the market, and listen, I know Sam very well and he is 100% trustworthy. and i don't know why you complain about his age because out of all the young magicians out here Sam is probably the most successful.

What is he, like 16? And Im going to hand him 1400 for a sub trunk. How much success has he had selling sub trunks? Im not saying he's going to steal my money, I'm saying there are other, better and more reliable sources out there than him. At first glance, this only looks like a get-rich-quick scheme.

I highly, highly doubt that.

Anique, the illusion side of my company is run by my father and myself, and I can assure you that we would not try to 'rip anyone off."
Yes, we are new on the market, trying to share our high quality illusions with the world. I can understand that you are unsure because we are new, but doesn't everyone have to start somewhere.

I first started building illusions for my shows, because I wanted something unique, that was not on the market. So I came up with some original designs, and I now perform them in my show. Others commented on my props, and I then took an interest in building them and selling them to other performers.
I can assure you, this is not a "get-rich-quick" scheme. Because of our competitive prices, our profit is not the best, on the items we sell. If you still think this is a scheme, then consider this: I paid $400 for a website, advertised at CAM, I have Pearce Illusions business cards, and there is over $6000 worth of raw materials in our stock right now, ready to be built into products.

On a personal note, I'm not sure what you call successful, but at 16, I have a near $50,000 illusion show production, I just signed a deal with a resort for the summer, January 1st till 7th, I will be touring Shanghai, China with my show. I have performed for thousands of families from across Canada, receiving rave reviews wherever my show takes me.

Is this success? I'll let you be the judge.

I'm not one to get into discussions like this, so I would like to put it to rest. I build quality illusions, and I perform amazing magic, or at least, that's what others tell me.
Please visit my website at: www.SamPearceMagic.com for more info, and of course, www.PearceIllusions.com for illusion products.

If you need to contact me, PM me here, email me at: info@sampearcemagic.com, or call me toll free at: 1-800-514-5049

All the best, Sam Pearce

Ah, here it is. I forgot what section this was in, I hardly post in this forum. Anyway good post, however you misunderstood some stuff I said. I never said you were not successful, I said 'I highly doubt you were the most successful young magician' . No need to start throwing numbers at me.

Next, okay you make and sell illusions, I'll still let you know I wouldnt purchase from you, but thats my opinion and I'll keep it to myself from now on. On a side note, dont know if you already have, but if your trying to look professional fix up the mistakes on your website, it'll do you good.

Good luck.

Anique
