On another forum a lot of people were very annoyed by this, as it was all hyped up by Lee Asher, telling people to visit at midnight. At that point, only Lee's film was online. People stayed up late, and all that was released was another video, this time by the Buck twins, saying come back next Monday.... I know I would of been mad if I had stayed up for that...

Here is a link to some hidden footage on the site.

If these guys actually stay up for this it's their fault! It'll probably be quite good though, as Chris Kenner said,

'Guys-

Be patient. What you're about to be exposed to is the result of years of thought on the part of myself and many, many others-- and months of blood, sweat, and tears. This isn't a fly by night product we're hawking. Rest assured that what is coming will be well worth the wait. Each week new details and information will be posted. Each week new clues will be revealed-- both hidden (look around...) and explicit. In the end, the puzzle will put itself together, and you'll know exactly what theory11 is.

What happened to just releasing a magic product at letting the quality of the product, and the good reviews speak for itself...

Looks like the Buck twins were at E for just a bit too long...

What the heck was the content of it? Are they discussing magic theory? Principles? Products? What?

Bastards make those cuts look so easy...

My guess is they are just releasing these vids to hype up maybe a video or something they are about to market.

I don't understand how people can already be bashing the product considering that no information was given as to the content. So, while I can understand the frustration of NOT having the info, any comments as to the quality of the product can not be disputed at this time.

As far as calling them pretentious, I can't think of too many people who are LESS pretentious then Lee, who spends much of his time working with young kids and has always been more kind to me then I deserved. I am happy to consider him a friend. I do not know the Buck Twins, but from what I've heard they are the OPPOSITE of pretentious- laid back and humble, and super fun guys.

All I know about this product is what you know- that some huge names and a lot of cash and time was spent on producing it, and it should be a blast. If you need to trash something, stick to the Ice Decks...

That's exactly the problem...

As for calling them pretentious, I didn't say that, but I can understand why some did. Not everyone knows who the Buck Twins are, or even Lee Asher for that point (unless they have myspace), but yet these guys are 'commanding' "Be here - midnight..etc." When we are there at midnight, we are given another trailer demanding us to be there again at midnight in a weeks time.. Maybe Lee and the Bucks aren't pretentious, I haven't ever had dealings with the twins, but they seem nice enough guys, but this whole marketing ploy certainly has the potential to make them look pretentious, and who is advising their marketing strategy might want to re-think the 'lets make our customers feel stupid' ploy...

As for the whole 'clue-hunt' thing, that was so last year

Looks kinda' interesting.

As for pretension and the 'whatever happened to's"....

No offence but Ellusionist hasn't got a trademark on anticipation.

Publishers, music companies and movie studios have been doing the same since before I was born. Hype...good marketing...building tension to generate excitement...

3 and the same.

Exactly.

It's just marketing. We don't even know what the product is yet, so let's not make too many preconcieved judgements on something that could be revolutionary to magic (
