Free Gifts with Your Order
We wanted a way to give back to our customers here at Ellusionist for their patronage and confidence. We have been tirelessly designing a trove of items behind the scenes that we wanted to GIVE our customers as a "Thank You" gift for shopping with us. From this moment on, your purchases can be eligible for some exclusive loot that can't be obtained anywhere else in the world.
When you reach a certain subtotal in your shopping basket, you will be awarded a bonus item from the selections below. There are multiple items to choose from at each level, so the more you order, the more items you will receive and the better they get. Remember, as you jump up a level, you will be awarded both the new bonus item and the previous one for each level. You pay no shipping for them, it's our way of saying thank you for being a power customer. Read the Frequently Asked Questions for details.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS & TERMS
Q. I have the right dollar amount in my cart, why can't I select my free item?
A. Make sure you have an item that requires shipping. If all you have in your cart are digital downloads, then we can't ship anything to you because there is no order to ship. Add a deck of cards (The Artifice cards are awesome) and you'll instantly be allowed to select your items.
Q. How do I claim my items?
A. Once you have finished shopping go to your cart. If you qualify at the price levels for your bonus items, you should see a link in the cart (above the checkout button) that says "Select your Bonus Items and Checkout". You will then see this same item selection page during your checkout process to select your items. Choose an item from each level and click the "I am done! Checkout Now" button to complete your order.
A. The more you buy in a single purchase entitles you to choose some of our rare items. The setup is similar to our popular Holiday Giveaway. We have four spending levels, or tiers ($75, $175, $350, $475). You get to select an item for every tier you reach in a single purchase. The cool thing is that you keep an item choice from each level you reach. For example if you reach the $475 level, you will also get choices from the $75, $175, and $350 levels.
Q. So, this is like the Holiday Giveaway all year long, then?
A. Good way to put it.
Q. How long will this promo last?
A. Not sure, but quite a long time, so no worries.
Q. Does that mean there's no more Holiday Giveaways?
A. Not at all. We still have great ideas for holiday promotions that we can't wait to unveil.
Q. How do I sign up or enroll?
A. If you're reading this, it means you're already enrolled. Participation is automatic and requires no extra setup -- all you have to do is ensure that you are making purchases through your customer account. Items for which you are eligible will appear at checkout.
Q: What are the rare items up for grabs?
A: How about a Gold Arcane deck of playing cards in a lucite case? How about a Red Arcane Porper Clip? Or uncut sheets of some of the most rare decks of cards on the market? There's plenty of good stuff to choose from.
Q: There's a limited number of some of these items, such as the Gold Arcane deck, or the Lucite cases. What happens when they run out?
A: When they're gone, they're gone forever. They will never be remade.
Q: What will take their place as items when they run out?
A: We will promise you this: There will always be an item worthy of an Ellusionist power customer. What those items will be? It's a secret.
Q. So I notice that one of the photos of the 1st ed. Black Ghost in the lucite case is in a freakin' trash can. Are you trying to jerk us around?
A. It's just a photo, man. We thought the duality of value was a great contrast. Yeah, duality and contrast.
Q. Why can't I just buy any of those items? I really want that Gold Arcane deck.
A. The Gold Arcane decks, like the Black Ghost First Edition decks, must be earned. They are a special breed of deck and the love that went into creating them is worthy of only a few.
Q. Why the heck would I pay $475 for a deck of cards in a lucite briefcase? Or $150 for a T-shirt?
A. Technically, you're not paying a single dime for this stuff. You're, first and foremost, purchasing INCREDIBLE magic, which is going to keep you busy for a long time and, depending on how far you decide to go with your magic, help you land gigs and build a business. These items are BONUSES TO YOU, meant to thank you for being such a power customer.
Q. What counts toward the tiers? Does shipping count?
A. Any supplies, videos, books or other merchandise counts toward the tiers, after any discounts apply. We use your cart subtotal for calculation. You can load up your cart with $150 worth of knitted beanies and qualify. Shipping, duties, fees and any other applicable taxes do not count toward the tiers.
Q. I want to stock up on cards, and I have a coupon code, but using that coupon pushes my final total below $75. What counts, the actual cost or after-discount cost?
A. The after-discount cost. Any coupon codes, discounts or other bonuses can affect what tier your purchase reaches.
Q. Do I have to pay for the shipping on any of these items?
A. No, as long as your order contains shippable items. If you order enough in downloads, you will qualify, but you will be responsible for shipping charges.
Q. I bought a couple of bricks of cards last week. Does that count toward my total?
A. Sorry. You must reach one of the tiers in a single purchase.
Q. I'd like to combine two or more of my purchases to reach a higher level. Can I do that?
A. Again, you must reach one of the levels in a single purchase.
Q. OK, I just racked up $75 in my cart. Once I make the purchase, what do I get?
A. You get your choice of one of the items at that tier. For $75, you can choose the Stained Skin Tattoos, Daniel Garcia's Tricycle or the roll of deck seals.
Q. OK, in a separate purchase, I spent $350. After thinking about it for a long time, I decided I'd rather have the Arcane T-shirt instead of the Gold Arcane deck. Do I get any kind of balance toward the next purchase?
A. Hang on, there. Spending $350 lets you pick one gift FROM EACH TIER, so you don't have to choose between the T-shirt ($175 tier) and cards ($350 tier). You can choose both, and something from the $75 tier.
Q. How do I select my items?
A. At checkout, the items for which you qualify will pop up. All you do is select which ones you want.
Q. If I spend $1,000 in one purchase, will Jason Brumbalow tell me what the writing on the back of the Arcane playing cards means?
A. If you spend $1,000 with us in one sitting, heck -- you get to make up what it means.
Q. Will these items always be this sweet? What if you run out?
A.Then, we'll replace them with even better items. These items will not stay the same forever. What is here today may not be here tomorrow. Our mean lawyer wants us to say, "Ellusionist has the right to add, remove or change any of the bonus items or tier levels at its discretion."
Q. What if I forget to add my items? Is shipping still free?
A Sorry! If you forget to add your gifts before you checkout Ellusionist will no longer be responsible for shipping charges. You will be responsible for those charges to re-ship your free items.
RULES & TERMS:
When you reach a certain subtotal in your shopping basket, you will be awarded one selection of the items in the associatied tier. When you keep adding items to your basket, you jump up a bracket and will able to choose both the new item and the previous ones. The more you order, the more bonus items you will receive.
Shipping and sales tax rates (if applicable) are NOT included in the purchase price. In other words: If you spend $70 on products, but live in an igloo on the southern tip of Antartica and rack up $50 worth of shipping, you do not qualify for the first bracket. SHIPPING AND SALES TAX RATES WILL NOT HELP YOU OUT WITH THIS GIVEAWAY.
You can order as many times as you wish. Each time you order, you will receive prizes based on that particular purchase. Orders cannot be combined over time. In other words, if you buy $100 worth of stuff on Dec. 1, then $250 worth of stuff on Dec. 13, that will not bump you up to the $350 bracket.
Only one item from each applicable level per shippable order, please. (Example: You cannot place 4 orders, then ask to combine 4 orders into a single shippable order.) Single shippable retail orders only are eligible for a single item at each level.
If you order downloads only that qualify for the item levels, you will qualify to receive your free gifts at each level, but you will be responsible for shipping charges of the bonus items because a shipment has to be generated for your order.
Returns: Full or partial order returns will be subjected to the same bracketing system as listed above. Example: If you order $350 worth of products and wish to return $100 worth of products, then your order original value will be reduced to $250 and you will be required to return your bracket 3 item, however you can still keep your bracket 1 & 2 items as your order total will be above the bracket 2 $175 mark.
If you forget to add your bonus items before you checkout Ellusionist will no longer be responsible for shipping charges. You will be responsible for those charges to re-ship your bonus items.
