No bonus at the Genii's home yet.

I know part of the backstory of the delay. The item they were planning to give subscribers is a devious routine by Weber, but it didn't utilize any gimmicks. So, as they thought about that they came to the conclusion that members might not be happy not getting a gimmick.

This left them in the position of trying to come up with a replacement item in a short amount of time. Their gimmicks and materials are made outside the US, and it takes time to make and ship them here.

The RS team is very conscious of trying to exceed customer's expectations. While some may feel they have missed the mark a few times in the first year, I'm not one of them. When I look at the array of items filling the bulging art folder I'm using to house everything, it's an impressive array of items and more than worth the price paid.

I am eagerly waiting for the bonus.

Thanks for the update Richard.

I must admit that I would prefer a unique gimmick only available to founding members (although I really hope RS shares Mr. Weber's routine one day).

You don't have to wait: the item originally planned as the bonus has already been put out.

It has?

I have gone through the last few offerings and do not find one that is only from Michael Weber.

Could you please give me the initials to the title of this trick and I will go through them again?

Thank you.

I didn't make myself clear: it has not been put out by Real Secrets. It has nothing to do with what you've already received.

I am even more intrigued. Is it a dealer item? Will we find out what it is and where to buy it? Thank you.

It's already been sold. I don't know what the plans are for it going forward.

Thank you for the clarification Richard.

If we are allowed to know what it is, could you or RS post the name of the item?

I assume it was not one of the RS additional marketed offerings?

I have received so much content from RS the past year it is hard to keep track. Next to Genii, RS is one of the best offerings in magic right now.

The item was for sale on the RS website a few months ago, but is no longer.

Just got the latest item and immediately added it to my wallet. This is so good I'm hoping they'll expand the idea.

The Weber item which was offered on the RS website sold out very quickly. It wasn't the Weber wallet.

On the latest item, I've come up with some additional ideas and I've sent them to Real Secrets.

A variation of the Weber item being discussed is still available in the notes section of the website.

Was it one of the items from the lecture packet series?

Just got my instructions to the bonus by email. Great service from RS. I look forward to receiving the props to play with this interesting concept.
