John Zander - fuckwitt.

John Zanders latest product release is the most stupid I've seen yet.

John Zander explains: This is a routine that I have a great deal of fun with. It is perfect for a quick laugh or a short MC bit. The original routine belongs to my dear friend Aldo Colombini. Aldo's routine is called 'Computer Prediction' and it can be found in his book 'REACT.' The only addition that I made to the routine was to add the words 'Your Favorite Store' to the front of the envelope for an additional gag.

Need I say more? Why the fuck is this even been sold? If Aldo really is a "dear friend" then surely you'd do him a favor and post your idea for free all over town so that people buy his book?

It really is anything for a buck these days isn't it? The amount of total fucking crap and re-hashes of old ideas and other peoples ideas getting pitched to magicians has never been as bad as it is today.

Here's an idea. Dig out one of your magic books, if the authors dead - all the better, it saves asking permission. Pick an effect, package it up with one bonus joke - you could for example provide the cards in an envelope and on the envelope it says "Cogitations is good". Sell it for $15.

After all, what's good for the goose is good for the Zander.
