Ricks for a book-to-film adaptation project. This comedic, hopeful, and whimsical tale caught the attention of the production-focused literary agency for its unique premise and light-hearted storytelling that bridges fantasy, romance, and drama.
The Ugly Magic Pants follows the story of Ben, a young man unexpectedly thrust into the role of guardian for his younger brother Bobby. With only two dollars left from his last paycheck, Ben's immediate concern is survival-and a desperate need for a new pair of pants to impress at a job interview. What he finds instead is a strange, striped pair of thrift store trousers with an even stranger secret: they're magical.
Bound by peculiar rules and uncanny timing, the pants allow Ben to pull money from his right front pocket- if he follows the instructions properly. From humorous moments of accidental discovery to navigating everyday life without revealing his secret, Ben embarks on a journey filled with self-discovery, romantic milestones, personal missteps, and near-mythical consequences. As the story unfolds, the pants are tested by cats, snakes, fire, and even ancient recipes. Ultimately, Ben learns that wealth alone cannot bring true happiness.
Set in a blend of urban and rural American backdrops, the story balances comedy with heartfelt life lessons, romance with fantasy, and lighthearted charm with deeper themes of responsibility, honesty, and love.
Author Duane O. Ricks currently resides in Rexburg, Idaho. A photographer and creative storyteller, Ricks brings an honest and relatable voice to his writing. His imaginative work invites readers to reflect on what they might do if money were no longer a concern-especially if it involved an unexpected magical wardrobe malfunction.
The Ugly Magic Pants is available now on Amazon [https://www.amazon.com/Ugly-Magic-Pants-Duane-Ricks-ebook/dp/B0D45HZ5H7/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1YXTLHEUDR4ND&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.vkER8UVswd9tkq80usI92w.QMVtEu7GirWlogFqL0WzlVkt-bjV760llCJdXpN2loE&dib_tag=se&keywords=The+Ugly+Magic+Pants+Duane+O+Ricks&qid=1745434072&sprefix=the+ugly+magic+pants+duane+o+ricks%2Caps%2C666&sr=8-1] and select bookstores.
