Anyone has any comments on Pimpin' DVD By Nathan Kranzo?

There are multiple topics on this...

Yes I can go on for hours and hours about it....what were you looking to know?

Seriously though....I know I'm biased but I'll do my best to answer any concerns you have with honesty.

Feel free to post them here or drop me a PM.


All the best,

Hey Nathan, I just checked out the demo for Pimpin. It looks great! I thought the lighter reel was a pretty cool idea.

Anyone tried adding this to Extreme Burn...?

Perform Pimpin, produce the bills then replace in a Himber wallet. Want to see something else? Remove your EB bills from the other side of the Himber and perform EB.

I performed the combo for awhile at my restaurants in the fall. I added "Pimpin" to Tom Isaacson's "Prophet," which is similar to Extreme Burn and based on the same gimmick. I just switched the wads in my jacket pocket.

I typically only performed the set for my regulars. I walked up to the table with a deck of cards for yet another card trick. Bam, it's money. The wad goes into the pocket as if I'm done. "Oh wait, I'll show you one more thing."

Sounds great - what were the reactions like?

It was a solid set. I only performed it for a couple of weeks and didn't work the routine to the point where it was at its best. I needed my jacket pocket for other effects. Also, the reset on Pimpin was a problem for me because in my restaurants, I don't like to have to go out of site to set something up. Also, once I setup Pimpin' I was basically committed to it. I like to be more spontaneous at tables.

Hi Wayne,

I understand your obstacles with pocket management!

One of the things I do is set it up on the fly by turning around to "make a prediction". I use Pimpin at the end of a series of comedy predictions with a tongue in cheek psychic presentation. This is situational thing obviously but even when surrounded I'm never truly surrounded as the people on the other side aren't engaged in what is going on.

One of my favorite times to set it is while they are looking at and/or signing a card and you are turned around so as to not be able to see the selection.

You can also add Flash Cash gimmick (or any money gimmick) to the packet of bills that is produced when you perform Pimpin. After the effect you can either cop off the Pimpin gimmick, or as I like to do, just pocket the Pimpin' gimmick along with all the extra cash I've produced (I now produce literally over 25 loose bills...why not) I say "lets use just a few of these..." as I put the rest away and proceed to turn a few ones into colorful Brazilian bills.

I hope that helps!

All the best,

Kranzo

Thanks for the tips Nathan. Perhaps it's time to bring back Pimpin' for another go.

Best regards.
