Wayne Dobson's S.N.A.K.E.S, is a big disappointment for me.

Let me make that clear. A financial disappointment. Why? Because I already own 2 of the supplied wallets. I was not amused to find that after shelling out £18 for a new trick, I was just in possesion of another Stephen Tucker WOWallet .

This means that I've paid £18 for a routine. Or £6 over the odds for the wallet.

There is nothing wrong with the effect S.N.A.K.E.S as it stands. - in fact it's excellent. Or to be more precise, the WOWallet is excellent.

I really feel that S.N.A.K.E.S is a misleading product. There is no reference to the WOWallet in any Ads.


Here's one of my old routines;

Table the wallet, explaining it contains a single prediction. Give the spectator a small VooDoo doll and hat pin. Ask them to stick the pin into the doll, anywhere they wish.

The wallet contains a single business card with the words 'LEFT LEG' written on it. Of course, the VooDoo doll has the hat pin through it's LEFT LEG.

I was bit disappointed as well.

Specially when I've had the wow wallet for a LONG time.

Nice touch of the VooDoo Doll Zordas

This effect does appear on his unclamped live in London DVD, which could possibly have saved some money and treated you to an entertaining DVD.
I'll have to get around to sorting out all my magic, I'm sure I'll have something to trade for a Wow wallet.

Could you perform this on a plane?

It can be performed where ever you like - as long as you can table the wallet (you don't 'table it' in someone's hands!)


Dr. Zordas

That's good to hear. The jiffy bag is 'stamped' and ready to go - just give me your address to write on the front...



Dr. Zordas

Anyone have a Wow Wallet they would like to tradee to me?

Daegs,

That was funny.

Daegs

Funny. Yes, you can do it on a plane, just not around Sammy Jackson.

What's the joke ?

I'm not a mind-reader...


Dr Zordas

Could be a local joke that goes around.

Hard to get it when 100s of miles away.

There is a movie here in the Colonies where a group (a lot of) poisonous snakes are let loose on an airplane. Samuel L. Jackson is one of the stars in the film. It looks AWFUL... but will probably make a lot of money.

So what ,the wallet is not worth the total value
of the trick price.
I for one, love the effect.
As the old saying goes..."Ive paid a lot more,for a lot less"

The movie is "Snakes on a Plane!" and it's a comedy...done in the style of a straight-up action movie. There's this guy that the bad guys want to kill off, so they smuggle a crate of poisonous snakes onto the plane with the guy and release them. Much screaming and running around ensues. Samuel L. Jackson plays the hero, totally straight, because he understands the joke.

To someone who doesn't own the WOWallet, the S.N.A.K.E.S effect (routine plus wallet) is perfectly acceptable.

I am sure you wouldn't have 'loved' the effect if you already had 2 wallets...


Dr. Zordas

In the SNAKE are there also the original instructions of the WOWallet?
