DVD Review: Sam The Bellhop by Bill Malone

I've been performing Bill Malone's "Sam The Bellhop" at my restaurants and the routine is one that gets a great response. Regulars commonly ask to see it again when they bring in friends. And the routine doesn’t seem to suffer from repeated viewings by the same audiences.

Of course, Sam The Bellhop is a smashing signature piece of Bill Malone's that he unveiled to the world in 1994 on the "World’s Greatest Magic" television special. The routine is an offbeat card effect where cards are turned-over, in order, to tell a story. In this case, it's about Sam the bellhop and the mythical "654" club.

Malone took the original story and routine that dates back to the 1930s and added a system of shuffles and cuts to create a truly entertaining piece. He teaches everything that you need to know on this DVD, which was converted from a VHS tape that was released a decade ago.
