Marc DeSouza Master Works of Conjuring - Volume 1

Music and Magic: Stand-Up Magic for Cabaret and Stage
MULTIPLYING BALLS – This is one of Marc’s regular openers for his stand-up show. Based on Alan Wakeling’s neo-classic routine, Marc has varied and tailored the original by adding ideas from Chanin, McComb, Rooklyn and others.

THE FULL CIRCLE ROPE ROUTINE – A unique rope routine which begins and ends with a single length of rope. This piece combines ideas and sequences from Sands, Daryl, Tabary, Sanders and some unpublished ideas contributed by Tim Conover. A great commercial routine with lots of magic happening in three minutes.

CARD AND BALL ROUTINE – A wonderful sequence of card manipulation, which culminates in the cards changing to a ball several times. Marc published just a small portion of this over 20 years ago, but it is taught here in its entirety for the first time. There are numerous card sequences that have never been seen in the U.S.

LINKING HEARTS – This routine is right out of Marc’s award-winning act. It uses three heart-shaped golden rings, but everything is easily adaptable to standard ring sets. Also, Marc’s Floating Ring, created in 1980, is taught for the first time.

BILLS AND COINS – This is in homage to the late, great Fred Kaps. It combines Marc’s handling of Kaps’ Diminishing Bills to Coins with an unpublished Pierre Brahma coin vanish sequence and ends with Marc’s handling of Kaps’ incredible manipulation routine with jumbo coins. This is all being explained for the first time in thorough detail.

TEQUILA – Jerry Andrus’ brilliant Zone Zero on steroids! You will need to know the original Andrus routine to be able to perform it as shown, but all of Marc’s variations are fully explained. A lime appears and vanishes when dropped into a hole in a plastic board. At the end, a shot glass, a salt shaker and a full-sized bottle of tequila are produced. This is a killer opener!
