I originally bought the rights to sell a bunch of “Rope-U-tations” from Jimmy Fingers 10-12 years ago. It was the most visual, funny rope routine I had ever seen. I sold them around San Francisco and Paul bought one. At the time, Paul and I were competing in the same market and had the same problem Jimmy had on the Fruitopia tour. Agents who saw Paul do it first thought I stole from him and vice versa. A good lesson in why you should do original material. My character has changed and it was removed from my act years ago but it is a routine I miss doing.
Here is a video from one of my last performances with it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t26X--9ewx4 Enjoy, Jay Alexander |

I don't know if I still have any footage of mine. Mine is pretty close to Jay's, except for my different jokes, and when I do the initial passthrough, my hands don't come as close together as Paul's and Jay's.
I like Jay's best of all that I've seen. I'd never seen that, I really enjoyed it. Paul's was a little bit spastic for my taste (Okay, maybe that's just Paul!)Jay and I've known each other since the 70's, and you won't meet a cooler guy! Listen to the audience response on Jay's performance. Look at everything that you're depriving the audience of when you use the best selling, preset version that just allows for a single passthrough, and nothing else. Jay actually came to one of my house party shows in Houston about a year or two ago. It was fun to perform this and some other effects that we both do, and to see it through his eyes. He came up with lots of input and positive criticism, and was always dead-on. I am never more excited to show a new concept like Choppo or Magellan Witch Levitation than when I show Jay. I know that I'll get a really great response and ideas. Jimmy Fingers |

But does your dead brother talk still?
I think he does judging from your post. Just my opinion of course. We all have an impact even after we leave this time line. Best Wishes, Jim

We all are 13.7 billion years old, and just released into this plane for a short while before returning to the fabric of this visible universe....
Yes to the still talks, but GM's comments were about worms eating through my dead brothers body in the grave.... A completely different story altogether... |
