Note that this is about illusions and card tricks, not about the Magic: The Gathering cardgame.

Did confuse me at first.

I think this website could be improved by having Europe - The Final Countdown as embedded background music

I'm genuinely someone into these kinds of tricks and I invest quite modestly into all sorts of magic toys and tricks. However, I have a question - How are you going to make sure your users will keep coming back to you once they learn your trick? Most of the time, your users are going to be interested in only certain categories of these magic tricks and once they learn them, there is no incentive for them to pay for the following month. If you could add an online shop that sells all kind of magic stuff also, and if your courses complimented them, then it would be a good deal, I guess. Otherwise, your CLV would be very low. Just my thoughts.

this is really cool. I'm very tempted to sign up, the only thing holding me back is knowing if I have time for another hobby :)

Yeah, I'm into card magic only. So I might pay my $9, watch all the card ones, and then cancel it. Unless the videos are REALLY good.

And how much can you really cover in 12 videos (at the moment)?

I wonder if there would be a market to learn how magic tricks were done. You don't want to do them, you just want to learn the secret behind them.
