It's superb. Doug sent me the props and they are top rate. Everything is included. I have seen Doug FRY people with this routine. The thing that surprised me is that it gets a SIGNIFICANTLY stronger reaction than the signed card to envelope. STRONGLY recommended!

Expensive? Maybe, but I don’t think so. A good quality LePaul/ Balducci wallet can cost over $100.00. The wallet that is being provided looks like the old Supreme Super Zippered Wallet (no longer being made), which in the 60’s cost up to $80.00!!! You could probably find a suitable LePaul style wallet today for under $100.00. So I guess you could find all the individual props for around $100.00. But then you would just have the props.
Let’s see, you get all the individual props, including the appropriate wallet, the “Check to Dollar trick”, the laminated bill (which is a joke in the routine and gets a soft laugh), and the velvet cord. Then you get a tested routine including the necessary instructions (moves) for the ring off string routine (two nice moves melded into a strong routine which could be and has been a stand-alone bit). Plus you get the scrip, an instructional video, AND performance rights. I don’t know, I am thinking that $180.00 is not all that much! The routine is well thought out (typical for Malloy) and takes a routine ring off string trick and turns it in strong, visual magic. You can close your close-up show with this effect. This plays big enough for most small venue (comedy club/parlor/bar) type of act. There is a reset that takes some degree of privacy and is not instant that makes it less than “instant” for a walk around gig. Still, with a bit of management, it is a good walk around effect. So basically what you have is five minutes of good, visual, fun magic carried in your pocket! Is that worth $180.00?
