Paid for express delivery (24h) but it's one week later and product still hasn't arrived, quite disappointing.

I used to visit this joke shop years…
I used to visit this joke shop years ago when I was a kid. I only happened across the website because I was looking for something specific, but I couldn't resist a few extras as it is value for money. Really quick and free delivery. Can't fault any of the service.

Have not used it at this time, but looking forward to playing the practical joke soon. It looks a good piece of kit.

Excellent well priced items with free shipping. Highly recommended.
I've only recently discovered this online Magic Shop but can only say that I have been thouroughly satisfied with the 2 products I have purchased and the speed of delivery. In particular The Russian Just Chance Dice and Improved Mental Logs were excellent value for money and highly recommended. I'll certainly be re visiting the website for other magic items.
