Pro Duo is smaller, nothing else. MagicGate is an encryption technology. Wikipedia says:
------------------ The MagicGate standard for Memory Sticks was Sony's response to the music industry's call for an encryption system to allow music downloaded from Sony's Connect downloadable music service to be securely stored. ATRAC3 files downloaded from the Sony Connect service can only be played or copied by an authorized device, as they are specially encrypted. As neither the Sony Connect service nor ATRAC3 became very popular, few users have expressed much interest in the MagicGate standard. Nevertheless, most Memory Sticks sold are MagicGate compatible and all Memory Stick Pro support MagicGate. However, Memory Stick Pro does not support the ATRAC3 format.

When you buy a 256 Meg Memory Stick with MagicGate, you pay for 256 Meg but actually only get about 220 Megs which are usable. The extra money goes through the Magic Gate directly to Sony.

Reviews for "National Geographic's Witchcraft Kit: A Glimpse into the Supernatural"

- Sarah - 1 star - This "witchcraft kit" from National Geographic was a complete disappointment. First of all, it had no substantial information or guidance on real witchcraft practices. The materials included were poorly made and of low quality. The book that came with it was more of a generic history on witchcraft rather than a guide on how to practice it. Overall, this kit felt like a cheap cash grab from National Geographic, and I would not recommend it to anyone genuinely interested in witchcraft.

- Mark - 2 stars - I was excited to try out the National Geographic witchcraft kit, but unfortunately, it fell way short of my expectations. The materials provided were cheap and poorly put together. The spell book included was very basic and lacked depth. The items like crystals and herbs were of such poor quality that they were practically useless. It seems like National Geographic tried to jump on the witchcraft trend without putting any thought or effort into creating a meaningful and authentic experience for users.

- Jessica - 1 star - The National Geographic witchcraft kit was a waste of money. It promised a comprehensive experience, but it delivered a cheap and superficial one. The book was filled with basic information that can easily be found online for free. The included materials were of such poor quality that I couldn't use them in my rituals. Overall, this kit felt like a marketing ploy rather than a genuine attempt at providing a valuable resource for those interested in witchcraft. I would strongly advise against purchasing it.

- Alex - 2 stars - I had high hopes for the National Geographic witchcraft kit, but unfortunately, it left me disappointed. The materials included were flimsy and poorly constructed. The book lacked depth and merely scratched the surface of what witchcraft is truly about. It felt like National Geographic was just trying to capitalize on the growing interest in witchcraft without putting in the effort to create a worthwhile product. I would recommend looking for alternative options if you're genuinely interested in learning about and practicing witchcraft.
