Penguin Live Online Lecture - Marc DeSouza

The Creation, Development, and Structure of Impossibilities. Plus, the Keys to a Successful Competition Act.

What will he teach?

Marc will teach stand-up magic for both stage and club-style performances. The material is suitable for organizational and corporate work as well as, for the most part, family entertainment. Throughout the presentation, the focus will be on the creation and development of material, the structure of both the individual routines and the act, scripting and sources for more information. There will be a number of stories and pieces of advice garnered from over 50 years of experience in magic and his association with some of the finest magicians of our time.

The evening will begin with the performance of a complete act, as though he were performing for a lay audience. The majority of the material is right out of his primary working repertoire and includes solo routines, audience participation pieces and mentalism. He’ll show how theBill In Lemonserves as a piece that follows through the entire show with a series of call-backs. There is a “running bit” involving theMagic Squarethat goes through a third of the show and builds the impossibility of the effect. There are classic magic routines that have been brought up to date, such Al Baker’sCard In Chewing Gum. The twist in this version is that it is done with a card merely thought of. There is a wonderfulCards Up The Sleevewith a number of interesting nuances and a very commercial finish. There is a version of the legendaryBullet Catchdone with an air pistol and steel darts that is dramatic, yet safe and easy to travel with. There are also alternate routines that will be demonstrated and taught such as theRosini Thimbles, Linking Finger Rings, Bills Acrossand more.

As if this were not enough, Marc will also discuss the subject of magic competitions from both the competitor and judge’s perspective. He will talk about the keys to a successful competition act. He will also demonstrate and teach a number of manipulative routines, some from his very successful competition act and some never seen by magicians. These include theBall and Cone, Salt Pour, Ball and Rose Manipulation and Zombie.
