Response to Full Preterism

Acts 1:9-11
9 And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. 10 And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, 11 and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.”

This is the passage that sticks in my mind that goes against "full preterism". It seems to me that Acts 1 says that Jesus is at least coming back "visibly"...the same way he went up, he's coming back etc.

So if he did come back "visibly" where is the testimony?

On another note- aren't all of us somewhat "partial preterists"? At least most of us see many prophecies being fulfilled...maybe just not the bodily return. Right?
