Collard

THE BLURB:
Effect

The ultimate, super-charged comedy presentation for the
Koran Medallion!

Ever since the release of the best-selling "Educating
Archer" DVD we have had countless requests for this routine
to be released. Finally after months of research and
countless prototypes and anticipation, we can now bring to
you this highly-acclaimed, professional routine.

The basic outline of Collard begins with you introducing a
large stuffed toy dog* and announcing that you would like
the audience to name him or her for you. Now you have
several spectators in the audience call out a letter at a
time, which you make a note of on your home-made birth
certificate! Note at this point - none of the letters are
forced and they can spell out even the most bizarre of
"names!"

You now have a spectator join you on the stage and draw
their attention to the dog that has been sitting at the
other side of the stage and especially the collar that he or
she is wearing. They will see that the collar already has a
name on it…impossibly; it matches the previous randomly
selected name exactly!

The beauty of Collard is that it can be worked in parlour
and cabaret situations, stage performances, and also kid's
shows! This routine really is the ultimate in creative
thinking, superb routining and a premise that proves that
stuffed toys are not just for children!

If you like good, direct, entertaining and funny
presentations accompanied by strong Magic and Mentalism; you
will absolutely love Collard, which has received rave
reviews from Magicians, Mentalists and laypeople alike! Now
you too can add this outstanding routine to your act!

Your "Collard" comes with the precision manufactured
name-tag gimmick, the secret something to add to a regular
pad of paper and full written instructions.

*Supply your own toy dog, pad of paper and collar strap.

MY COMMENTS:
If you've seen John Archer perform this unique version of
the classic Koran Medallion effect, then you know how strong
this is. Technically, it's easy to do. As stated above,
you must supply your own toy dog, pad of paper, and collar
strap. You do get the gimmick and dog tag, plus a four page
instruction booklet. The gimmick is very well-made as just
about all of Alakazam's products. If the above effect
appeals to you, this is definitely a reputation-maker and
recommended.
