Have you ever wondered what Nathan Kranzo looks like? Me too? I've heard the name a time or two, but that's about it. Well if you are curious what he looks like, by the end of this 20 minute low-quality production, you'll still be wondering. Oh, you'll have the bottom half of the slogan on his T-Shirt memorized, and you'll even have a solid memory of what his hands look like, but you NEVER see his face. It would appear that Mr. Kranzo (if that really was him) was the cameraman, editor, etc. The camera angle never changed.

Mr. Kranzo, might I appeal to your sense of dignity and ask that you rethink you choice of words. Jokes about "pimps", "pimp slapping" etc, are not only not funny, but extremely immature and remind me of so-called comedians who aren't funny so they just tell a lot of stupid crude jokes and drop a lot of "F-Bombs." It's petty and totally unneeded.

Based on my above statement, you may wonder why I have a copy of a product called Pimpin' by a man with whom I am unfamiliar. Simple, the cover says, "Created by Nathan Kranzo . . . with the blessing of Paul Harris." Emphasis mine. To me, that implies that this is a routine that either Harris helped develop or a routine that is based on a Paul Harris idea. Either one means it's solid. As far as the effect goes, it did not disappoint. Thus, I got it in spite of the ridiculous title, not because of it. As it turns out, regarding Harris's involvement, it was the latter situation - it was based on a Paul Harris method/effect.

The Advertisement Claims:

• Step by Step DVD Training


• Create the Gimmick in less Than 4 minutes


• Easy to Do . . . virtually self working


• Resets in 3 seconds


• Can be performed close up or stand up

Everyone of those claims are pretty much true. The only one that I'd have to not be 100% on is the final claim. I have not performed this for a live audience yet, so I'm not 100% sure that it can be performed close up. However, based on what you see in the DVD, it would appear that this claim is likely true. Strictly based on the effect itself, I would have to give this DVD 5 stars. However, to consider the entire product as a whole, I would dock a bit of star-age (is that a word?) for being only 20 minutes long and receiving no gimmicks and only one effect. I also would dock it a bit for the tackiness of his choice of theme (pimps), and finally a bit of a dock for not showing his face.
