@Mark - We didn't leave anything out on purpose. But that's an interesting point you raise... I'm wondering, by misleading ads, do you mean they lied about he effect that could be achieved? Or just didn't mention any flaws to the method/setup? Really interested to know what you mean by misleading, as it definitely helps to get your perspective on it.

It would've been nice to be able to check all reasons that apply. And I wonder why some reasons that I thought would be obvious just don't show up at all. For example: some of the products I do not work on...the ads were misleading. Or the product is of low quality. I saw an ad for something last year, everybody in the blurbs says, "That it's going right into my strolling set!" "It's a great EDC!" Then it turns out (1) it requires a gaffed deck that (2) cannot be examined, and (3) can only be used for this trick, plus (4) you can't repeat the trick for someone who's seen it.

While I'm whining: can the people who give the testimonials please stop saying "It fooled me badly!"

There's more...it'll keep.
