[We apologize in advance for this review.
Mark Panner is a familiar name to some of our readers for the horrible job he
did in reviewing the incredible Bob Sheets in the March 20,
2005 Edition of Inside Magic.
We continue to apologize to Mr. Sheets for that review and any embarrassment
it may have caused. You can read it here.
Mr. Panner submits articles to Inside Magic on almost a daily basis. For the
most part, we reject them but still try to encourage his work. He once again
left his listening post beside his vintage Bearcat CB/Police Band Scanner to
review FAB Magic's newest effect, The Gotcha! Comedy Paint Can.
Mr. Panner asked to do a product review.
We received news from Rick Fisher of the impending release of this soon-to-be
classic and suggested Mr. Panner review it. We said we'd buy him one if he could
find a use for it in his act.
Our review is simple. If you are in front of an audience and you want to make
them laugh, this is the prop for you. It is well-made, simple to use (as you'll
see in Mr. Panner's review), and priced perfectly for the working performer. In
fact, as you'll read at the end of Mr. Panner's ramblings, you can get a special
price if you order during the initial run.
We love it and you will as well.
Five out of Five - Our Highest!
And now, here is Mark Panner of Mystic Hollow, Michigan to offer his review
of The Gotcha! Comedy Paint Can.
By the way, we began to edit the story but due to time constraints, we
decided to just run it as is. For readers of the Inside Magic Daily News -
you'll find we tried to clean-up some of the misspellings and
grammar].
My Review of The Gotcha! Comedy Paint Can
by Mark Panner – Magician
Keeping with their doctrine of “Always Something
New Under the Sun at FAB Magic,” Rick and Cheryl Fisher have released a great
new item called The Gotcha! Comedy Paint Can.
Here’s the deal:
A gallon paint can is displayed along with a paint brush shown to be normal
on both sides. You open the top of the can, dip the brush into the paint, remove
the paint-covered brush and set it to the side.
Now you pick up the paint can and walk slowly, menacingly towards the
innocent attendees in the audience. Have you lost your mind?
Are you suddenly so devoid of compassion you must risk drenching them in the
rich, luxurious enamel you’ve just sampled?
Your sense of decorum seems to have left your person and you throw the paint
towards the now confused and anxious crowd.
Perhaps there is a scream or a desperate effort to move out of the
anticipated splash zone to heighten the moment. But there was never a reason to
be fearful. Where the brightly pigmented latex stream was expected, all that
issues is a beautiful and colorful 4″ wide fabric streamer!
That’s why they have the word GOTCHA! in the title.
You turn the can around and show it is…
