Exchange
Dobson, Wayne

Once in a while an effect comes alone with a presentation so funny in its own right that all you have to do it perform it and you're guaranteed laughs.
Wayne's Exchange (better known as the SEX trick) is one of those routines. The simple presentation and method makes this a perfect & hilarious routine that can be performed close up, parlour & stage and it's even ideal for compares and emcees.
Exchange is the ultimate packs small plays big routine. Please note the routine itself is adult themed but can be played as innocent or as blue as you like.
When our good friend Michael J. Fitch performed Exchange at Blackpool we had waves of people asking for a release date, Well now it's here!
Wayne's Exchange is a play on words you will love and it's a guaranteed crowd please that you WILL add to your act!
Wayne's Exchange comes with high quality plastic cards, routine and DVD instructions. **Please note by purchasing this product you are purchasing the rights to perform Wayne Dobson's Exchange!

For $47 bucks you get a well made product & well produced DVD to help you perform a vulgar effect.
Watch the video. If you like the performance and you think you'll do it, then pay the money to perform it. Don't rip off Mr. Dobson. When you watch the performance you'll pretty much know exactly how it's done. The cleverness is in the presentation which I happen to find too inappropriate for any venue I would ever do.
However, the kind of venues I perform are not what I'm to judge here. It's quality of product and props. On that level, everything is top notch. Again, as stated earlier, whether you think it's worth $47 or not, if you decide to perform this after watching the demo, then you MUST pay the $47 or you are unethical and more immoral than the presentation of this effect.
Finally, I think the concept has a ton of potential, and with the right thought and presentation, you can get something equally funny and entertaining without getting the whole audience to imagine - nay . . . fantasize about - (without her knowledge) an attractive woman's sex life.
If you think you'll do this effect or a less-crude variant, then by all means spend the cash and do it. The product is well made and Mr. Dobson deserves to be paid for your use of his idea.
Judging soley on price, product quality and potential . . .
Final Verdict:
3.5 Stars with a Stone Status of gem.

The issue I see with this is the same as the previous Wayne Dobson product I also reviewed. If someone has the comedy skills to pull off a routine like this, they more than likely have the skills to write an original comedy piece, and not have to buy one.
The slightly ‘blue’ humor is tough to pull off. While they say choose your audience wisely, I think money would be better spent on a routine that won’t possibly offend.
Let me be clear, I love dirty humor. The routine is clean in comparison to most comedy club material, but why take the chance, and why pay money so you can take that chance?
Also, the handling of some of the props are somewhat hinky looking, and don’t look as ‘clean’ as they potentially could be.
I’m going to go down the middle on this one. Watch the demo, look at the price, and if you KNOW you’ll get use out of it, then you might be happy with your purchase.
