Let me summarise in short. I will say Ellusionist stuff is much more expensive than Theory11. It's not my say, but just take a look at the no. of poll where people had polled. It's obvious.
You have got to be kidding me.
This might be not fair too as this is Theory11 is forum. So it's more bias due to where this thread is post. As some of you mention this.
Durr-hey!
Their tricks is nothing special.
Oh please. The Scorpion set, the Guerilla Guide to Loops, Ninja 1 and 2, the Stained Skin series, Silver Dream...
It's kinda crapy in the overall effect with some great editing and description to hype things out. Sometimes we feel "WHAT ! I PAID THIS MUCH FOR THIS !"
I believe majority have this experience before. There is not much effort put into each of the effect to make it to next level.
That's because the majority are idiots. I know some people are going to hate me for this, but it's my honest belief that the people who whine the most about advertising and hype are the biggest, most gullible rubes to have ever walked the earth. They bought into the hype more than anybody else, and rather than take responsibility for themselves, they cry foul.
If you catch yourself thinking you wasted your money because you actually thought you were buying REAL magic, you're an idiot. Don't blame the company that produced the product.
As for price wise, Theory11 effect is well priced and being affordable for all youngster.
You have got to be kidding me. Their single trick DVDs are going for the same rates as Ellusionist's. Did you even attempt to do some real research?
Overall, everything is in the net. Do your homework and you will know when next time you will spend your next purchase decently.
Kid, I can safely say that you don't have anything to teach me about being a savvy customer outside of watching out for bias.
Clearly, this entire thread was just you looking for an excuse to ram your transparent bias down our collective throats. You only put up the poll as a pretense for research and to give the illusion that you actually cared what we think. The very fact that you didn't present a third option saying these was no difference makes this painfully obvious.
Honestly, the very fact that you thought we'd all be stupid enough to fall for this is intellectually offensive.
