- INTIMATE ILLUSIONS-

 

Competion Act
With the competition act, I bring my own lighting system that is set up in under 2 minutes to add to the theatrical illusion.

Performance begins by three coins appearing in mid air and traveling down a ladder. Then tossing them, one by one through the air where they seem to vanish only to be heard arriving across the room. Each coin visibly penetrates an inverted tumbler, landing in a mouth-up shot glass.

The coins are dropped into a fish bowl like a "wishing well" and 1 by 1 turn into a fish.

I produce, barehanded from clear water, what seems to be endless cascades of Kennedy Half Dollars, then, as I sprinkle them back into the water, they visibly ripple into assorted golden fish. When I return a handful of goldfish to the bowl, they become half dollars.

As no more coins are left, I reach into my pockets, finding, to my dismay, they are empty.
Turning toward the Ladder, I snap my fingers, and a single coin travels upward from the crystal glass, retracing, its circuitous route through the Ladder and visibly shooting high into the air! As I drop the last coin into the well, a handful of fish appear from my bare hands

 

Pre-Chest-ination


Securely tied and hoisted chest made entirely of solid cherry wood is in constant view since beginning of the show.
The chest is lowered directly into the spectators' waiting arms! The magician never touches the chest.
A volunteer spectator unties the rope, unlocks the chest , removes the tied velvet bag extracting a written prediction from same, and reads out-loud the previously sealed revelation, which is written on a white pocket handkerchief.
The writing on the handkerchief is large enough to be seen by the furthest row back.

Croquet Ball Illusion

A startling combination is offered: Placed in a row are three stands having thin undraped tops. Upon each stand, upright, is a beautifully decorated metal cylinder. Near at hand is a basket containing a number of ordinary solid croquet balls. The performer enters with the mallet in hand and, taking a ball from the basket, places it on the floor and gives it a rap with the mallet, proving both balls and mallet to be solid. The handle is then removed from the mallet head and the latter is dropped into the cylinder on the left, first showing the cylinder to be empty. The remaining two cylinders are shown empty and left upright on the tables. The mallet head is then removed from the cylinder on the left and placed under the center cylinder.

Now three balls are removed from the basket and dropped into the cylinder at the right, one at a time. The left hand cylinder is raised and shown empty. Under the center cylinder is the mallet head while in the right hand cylinder are the balls. This cylinder is carefully lifted and carried toward the audience. One, two, three -GO-! The tube is tossed in the air and the balls are gone! The center cylinder is lifted and in place of the malled head are the balls and, under the other cylinder, previously empty, is the mallet head which falls with a clatter to the floor.

 

The Ring, The Watch and The Wallet



The story of a theif that steals my ring, watch and money from my wallet. I remove my ring, watch, and money from my wallet and place them visibley envelope. The envelope is then town up and shown that the ring is back on my finger, the watch is back on my wrist and the money is back in the wallet.

Rubiks Card


Beautiful wood box contains cubes. Each side of each cube has different pips and faces from a deck of cards. They are mixed up in the box in random chaotic order. You remove a few of the cubes and show the different sides.
Close the lid on the random cubes. Spectator selects a card. When the box is opened the cubes have magically arranged themselves in the exact number and suit of the chosen card

 

Elizabeth IV

I shows two cards and 40$ held together by a big paperclip. The challenge is put to the spectator to guess one of these two cards. If he's right, the crowd goes wild and he gets all the glory. If he's wrong, well, he gets the $40 to offset the shame. Any card that the spectator wants to name is called out. That named card turns out to be one of the two cards.

Visible Coins thru Glass Part 1
Part of the Close-up Competion Act
With the competition act, I bring my own lighting system that is set up in under 2 minutes to add to the theatrical illusion.

I begin by displaying three coins at his fingertips. I then toss them, one by one through the air where they seem to vanish only to be heard arriving across the room. Each coin visibly penetrates an inverted tumbler, landing in a mouth-up shot glass. The table is a oridinary card table.

 

Visible Coins thru Table Part 1
Part of the Close-up Competion Act
With the competition act, I bring my own lighting system that is set up in under 2 minutes to add to the theatrical illusion.

The basic routine is constructed in four phases. Each phase is more amazing than the last. The 4th phase is really an encore performance The magic is beautifully woven into the story of the Bermuda Triangle, a place where objects mysteriously disappear and pass into another dimension. It is highly visual and direct magic! In fact, in the final two coins appear to penetrate through clear Plexiglas. Words cannot describe how beautiful these penetrations are.

PHASE 4:
In this final effect, the three coins are openly placed on top of the table. The spectator is asked to choose which coin they would like to see pass thought the table. This is a free choice – no magician’s choice. The selected coin visibley passes thru the clear table.
With the three coins in full view, the magician slaps the table from underneath using his right hand. The chosen coin instantly vanishes from the top and is seen underneath the table in the magicians hand!
