Same as J-Mac. Got the item(s). My vault only contains #14. The updated #14 doesn't mention anything I can see. Anybody figures this out, let me and J-Mac know.

I just received the email from RS about the changes. Very pleased to see the adjustment to the documentation policy. This is good customer service.

Very good news!

Still wish they'd at least post this month's instructions on their website for now. I want to know what I can do with these gizmos!

Thank you.

Less money available for the props now.
It is a choice, the members chose.

I am not sure if this means we will be receiving a paper copy of the instructions with our prop every month as well as the bonus being sent to Revizzit, or if the Revizzit experiment is dead.

I believe most of the subscribers are old school. I could never read digital comic books; I buy a CD and then import it into iTunes; I buy a video game disc and then install it to my hard drive, I buy a digital copy of a movie only if it comes packaged with the blu-ray; I prefer my Genii on paper...

However, Revizzit did show some great advantages: receiving instruction immediately on the first of the month, bonus updated and saved automatically, everything classified in one place, automatic updates, possibility of video, everything saved for "life." I'm sure there are more advantages that I have not yet considered.

I hope the Revizzit distribution format has not been shelved completely.

All I wanted was printed instructions with my prop and the ability to print the bonus items so that I could store them physically in the relevant prop's envelope.

Real Secrets is one of the best values in magic and a heck of a lot of fun. I would have remained a member either way.

Real Secrets had provided video on its old website, so Revizzit offered no advantage there except that you could not download the video. (However it could be easily copied.)

Alerting people to new items or bonuses could easily be done via email. You don't need Revizzit for that.

Anyway I want to say that I was very sensitive to the effort made by RS Team in terms of design and presentation of the pages on Revizzit. Very nice work, photos, background ...

I should add, having investigated Revizzit at one time for possible use with Genii, that it likely cost Real Secrets a lot more money to use Revizzit than it did to print the paper instruction sheets which we would rather have. So, it's not like they went to, or were clinging to, Revizzit because it was saving them money. Rather, it cost them money.
