ONE DOLLAR<br />

MYSTERY BY<br />

CHRIS FUNK<br />

You receive a special gimmick which will help make everything<br />

easy, pieces of card to start writing on and a Sharpie Marker that<br />

is needed for this. You will learn how to make your own Sharpie<br />

markers when the ink runs out on this. There are some really nice<br />

little ideas such as having the prediction written in different ink<br />

than what they see you write the gags in. This is such a practical<br />

routine and I am taking these ideas and applying them to my<br />

own Dream Prediction routine. Chris has really given me food for<br />

thought and inspired some out of the box thinking.<br />

If you’ve ever been scared of double-writing then this will certainly<br />

help you get over the hump. You can pretty much do this after<br />

watching the download instructions and it has built in gags and<br />

laughs making it much more entertaining than most confabulation<br />

style routines. The fact that the prediction is written on a<br />

dollar bill also adds to some humor.<br />

I would recommend this to the amateur or pro because it’s so<br />

practical and well structured and would fit so many different<br />

styles.<br />

PRICE: $40.00<br />

Powerful, fooling and hugely entertaining. The reactions from this<br />

complete routine from Chris Funk are priceless.<br />

You start by posing a challenge. If your participant is <strong>no</strong>t impressed<br />

they win a dollar bill. The dollar bill is placed in full view<br />

and it never leaves their site. Three questions are asked and you<br />

reveal that you predict the answers on the dollar bill.<br />

This is the ultimate real time prediction effect. A full hilarious script<br />

is included and Chris goes over everything you need to make this<br />

play big for any size audience. The method is simple, convincing<br />

and uses a really clever gimmick that you can carry anywhere.<br />

MY THOUGHTS<br />

This is a really great confabulation routine that will play just as<br />

well for close-up type gigs as it will for stand-up. Chris has taken<br />

the concept by Cody Fisher to do away with double-writing and<br />

combined it with a<strong>no</strong>ther old principle to give a really updated<br />

and modern confab style routine. Chris has come up with his own<br />

‘gag’s and bit of business to do away with double writing and the<br />

prediction is seen from the start in his pocket. If you combined this<br />

with Chris’s Switching Clip you’d have a killer and really impossible<br />

effect. You don’t need the clip switch and is really only suggested<br />

at the end of the download but it was my first thought as I was<br />

watching this.<br />
