Here's a sneak peek at a new routine that I will be releasing soon with my good buddy, Puck. Right now, we're seeking out a way to distribute the piece to the magic community world wide.

I came up with this premise after wanting to capture the spirit of the Vanishing Bandana trick without having to do the banana. I work a lot of cruise ships and quite a few cruise directors have commented that they see the banana trick all the time and that even guests have commented about how it's become a standard trick for magicians. And I mean "standard" in the worst way possible. The Vanishing Bandana is a great trick, great laughs but it's starting to be a little overdone.

What Puck and I have developed is definitely new and interesting. It has a modern feel as you use your iphone or similar mobile device to call up the practical joke hotline and it walks you thru teaching the audience a practical joke (as you can't really give away the secrets to a real magic trick).

It's six minutes of solid comedy that has the same feeling as the banana but with a new and novel presentation that you can really put your own personality into as you react to the prompts from the practical joke operator. Even if you are not that funny, the recording can provide the comedy and you just follow along. It's a no-brainer with built in laughs along the way. Our friend and widely respected performer, John Cassidy (who IS funny), has been beta testing it for us and has reported that it is definitely a winner.

The great news is that it's a fun, easy alternative to the banana that feels fresh and timely using today's technology.

The bad news, is that you can't get it til April 1st. Yep, that's right, April Fools Day.
And that's no JOKE!!!
