You'll Die Laughing!

"Are you folks ever bothered by those telephone solicitors?" asks the performer. "Last week a guy called me on the phone and wanted to talk about pre-planning my funeral! I couldn't believe it. I'm not afraid of dying, I just don't want to be there when it happens," he continues. "Well, I made a grave mistake and let the guy make an appointment with me. He came out to my house and had the whole program 'laid out'."

With that, the performer displays a large (25" wide by 38" tall) sheet depicting an embossed casket with an Austrian carved canopy and French velvet drapes and continues, "This guy said, 'Look, we can give you this beautiful casket for only $190,000.' That's really more than I can afford, I said." and with that he folds the top section of the sheet down, eliminating the carved canopy on top.

"He continued, 'No problem, we can eliminate the Austrian canopy and give you these beautiful French velvet drapes and the embossed casket for only $140,000.' Still, that's really more than I'd like to spend." says the performer and again folds the sheet, also eliminating the velvet drapes.

"Still, this guy just wouldn't let up and he said 'Look, I can eliminate the French velvet drapes and give you this gorgeous German embossed casket for just $7,000.' I said, still that's just more than I want to spend." continues the performer and with that makes one more fold in the sheet.

"That's when the guy told me he had just what I wanted." and the picture displays a large trash can!

  • A very fun and entertaining routine
  • Packs small but unfolds large enough for any size audience
  • Embossed picture on indestructible Tyvex materials ensure this comedy prop will last a long time

Fun story... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 31st, 2014
A fun story for the older audience. Some kids may get it, but it might not play so well for most children in my opinion. That being said, my 10 year old daughter loves it. So, who knows...
Product is well made and should last a lifetime. Check out the vid on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1aU3IKKnY4 for the presentation.

Just got this after reading about Denny Haney's routine and I'm anxious to adapt it and put it into my own spook-oriented magic show.

I had this stolen and just had to get another one. Love the patter and with a few extra personal jokes added makes a funny routine. Quality material, will last a life time.

Well-made workhorse prop Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 12th, 2018
This prop, made of a sturdy tyvek type of material should last you a lifetime. I would classify this less as a magic trick and more as a funny interlude. I know I will use this in my nightclub act as a transition piece.

In the right hands, this could be very funny. In the wrong hands, it would be...well...a GRAVE MISTAKE!

Review or Geave Mistake Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 29th, 2015
I just got this. I saw Dick Stoner on video perform this and thought it was funny. Well made, visual, packs small, plays big for adults or family audiences with mostly adults as the target group. A nice offbeat site gag if you want to add a bit of comedy to your act. You have to be able to laugh at all situations and this, even though it is about something dark, if played light-hearted can go over well with laughter. For what you get, I can recommend this.
