Kate & Edith is back and better than ever

Hello friends,

Some years back Kerry Pollock released a jumbo card effect called Kate And Edith.
For $30.00 you got four custom printed 3" x 6" plastic cards and a routine.

For the few who actually took the time to learn the included elaborate patter were rewarded with 5 minutes of non stop laughter, a thunderous applause and the magician gets a prized adult routine to cherish for ever.

For the many who did purchase the original version, I believe that the adult story line proved to be too difficult to remember in accordance with the handling of the cards and many folk thought that the routine itself would not been worth learning as the target audience for the effect would be far & few in between to warrant the work involved.

JUST MY OPINION!

Well friends Doc Eason has revamped the effect for the very reasons I listed above. The new plastic cards will last a lifetime are even bigger this time, 5" x 7". The cards have the character names printed right on them, so you can't confuse, Kate the Queen of Clubs with Edith the Queen of Spades and Stanley is printed on the King of Hearts just for cosmetic reasons.

No printed instruction either. Now you can remember what to say, what to do and how to do it, they way you want to present it with the supplied DVD is a comprehensive tutorial.

See below for all the details with live performances, teach-ins, PDF files & I-pod audio files.

It features rhymed patter, which will have the audience rolling on the floor. The routine has been thoroughly audience tested in comedy and magic clubs all over the United States.

During the routine the King of Hearts is removed from between the Queen of Spades and the Queen of Clubs three times. Each time he manages to reappear. Finally, he* vanishes* in a cloud of laughter!

You receive most complete tutorial possible. Scripts from Dan Garrett, Doug Slater, RJ Owens and Doc Eason are included in pdf form so that, once you have chosen the version you want to use, you can download and print it.
Doc talks about several different methods to memorize the script.

In addition, they have included an audio file of Doc’s script which you can download to your iPod to learn it that way.

They have also included four live performances: one from Kerry, one from RJ Owens and two from Doc. These views give you a chance to see how the routine plays in front of real audiences.

The DVD covers the handling, care and feeding of the props, and cautionary notes about when not to do this routine, as well as additional tips from Bill Palmer, Bob Escher and a clever reworking of the script by Doug Slater and Paul Landry. Comes with four Jumbo Cards, including the special gimmick. The cards are made of sturdy plastic, so they should last a lifetime.

So even if you have the original version, you simply must get the new one. For under $50.00 you will get to use and learn an entertaining piece comedy of magic that you and your mature audience will fully enjoy.

This really is a show piece, get one. You will be glad you did.

Thanks for reading.
untill next time,

Pete
