Volume 3
A Gift for Fiction
GOOD DECISIONS - A poker deal routine that's as much about psychology as it is about sleight of hand. One of Marc's go-to corporate gig favorites, this piece has a spectator making choices in a high-stakes poker game, only to achieve unexpected results that leave everyone guessing.
CURSE OF THE RASTA - A stand-up twist on Fred Kaps’ take on a Peter Kane classic. It’s a Wild Card routine where all cards can be examined at the end. Practical, high-impact, and guaranteed to make your audience gasp.
DREAM CATCHER - An emotional journey with the Gypsy Thread. Watch as a thread is yanked from a dream catcher, only to be restored along with the dream catcher itself. But let's be real, it’s way more profound than just that.
THE THING - This isn’t just a card trick; it’s a homage to classic sci-fi, wrapped in a beautifully scripted performance. Prepare to blend magic with nostalgic cinema.
THE CONTRACT (limited explanation) - The Torn and Restored Card, but with a twist—no card! You’ll offer to share the “real secrets of magic” only after a spectator signs a contract, which then undergoes a mind-bending transformation. Logical, compelling, and downright magical. Marc utilizes Daniel Garcia's Torn (not included), but you can slot in your own method seamlessly.
THE WAY TO INNER PEACE (limited explanation) - A charming narrative to accompany Troy Hooser's Charming Chinese Challenge. You’ll get the full performance along with Marc's personal flourishes to Hooser's original routine, making it even more engaging.
ISABELLA'S FAN - This one tells the story of a woman with a colorful romantic history. Three chosen cards represent her lovers and magically appear with each pass of Isabela's fan. It's a fresh handling of a classic that opens up a world of possibilities.
GAMBLER VS. DEVIL - The classic tale of bets with the devil gets a magical twist. Drawing inspiration from movies and songs, this routine incorporates Harry Lorayne's Magician Vs. Gambler, adding layers of character and entertainment that will leave your audience enthralled.
ALICE THRU THE WINDOWPANE - Marc’s crowd-pleasing closer for almost 30 years; it’s the perfect card routine for all ages. A whimsical tale where a selected card morphs, vanishes, and ultimately embeds itself in a mirror, turning the rest of the deck into mirrors too!
