The act was thirteen minutes long. Great Zarrell performs tricks and card manipulation in a dress suit. He does a trick in which he asks for a derby hat and a handkerchief from the audience. He then places a drinking glass on a glass-topped table with the handkerchief and the derby (crown side down) on top. The derby then sinks to the table with the glass inside the hat and the handkerchief on the table. He then does card tricks with volunteers from the audience.
"As good as any act of its kind."
