I am an amateur cardsharp. I have always loved learning about card manipulation. Two of the main businesses I order from are:
www.vanishingincmagic.com
and
Feel free to look at both sites before continuing and see if you form an opinion of each and/or an initial preference for one over the other.
I have ordered several things from each site, and they are very similar in appearance, what they offer, and each even seem to be run by a duo of male partners. The truth is that, from my experience, Vanishing seems to offer a few things that Penguin does not, and the things each offers that are the same are almost always the same price.
But here is the difference:
When I order from Vanishing, I get a 'thank you' video from the two owners (i assume they own it) which has some humor, but it is the same video each time.
When I order from Penguin, I get an email with a link. When I click the link it takes me to a video of one of the owners holding up a sign which says 'Thanks, Michael!' Then, there is an overhead view of a pair of black-jacket-sleeved arms with white-gloved hands packing a box with the item I just ordered. The first time I saw this, I thought it was pretty neat but just thought it was a stock video of that item being packaged - UNTIL the box is sealed, the shipping label is attached, and then the box is lifted towards the camera...and I see my name and address on the label!
Now, Penguin might not have some things I want that Vanishing does, and when that is the case, I buy from Vanishing. But when I have a choice, I ALWAYS buy from Penguin just because of that extra little personal touch.
