Guys, I know that when you first receive a new product, the first thing you want to do is open it and watch it/play with it, and the second thing you want to do is hop on here and write a review, but when you feel the urge to do that, please inject yourself with enough morphine to put you out for a few hours, just to give yourself time to think it over.
Think about it. How can you possibly write a detailed, informed review when you opened something a few hours ago? Simply put, you can't.
So for effects and dvds, I suggest watching them, then spending at least a few weeks if not a few months going out and performing the material for people. Show it to different age groups, different locations, different demographics, etc. Practice the material, get really familiar with it, then use it for a while. Then write a lucic, informed review that will really help others to know whether or not to buy the product.
With cards, same thing. I suggest using a single deck for a good month or so before posting a review, just so you REALLY know how that deck will age and handle when it's older. Rather than opening the deck and writing a review a matter of minutes or hours later, really give those cards a chance to demonstrate their full range of attributes before writing a glowing review and coming back ten minutes later going, "Changed my mind, they clump now and all the cards squirt out when I fan, these cards suxxoorz! Pwwwnwedd 80!"
I know you're excited, but just relax and take things one step at a time. Make sure you really know an effect/deck inside and out before posting anything on it. It would keep the reviews much more informed and helpful.
