Marc DeSouza is a bit of a legend in the magic world—he’s bagged more awards than you can shake a wand at, including three First Place wins in both stage and close-up magic from the Society of American Magicians. Not to mention three silver medals from the same lot. Oh, and let’s not forget he’s a three-time gold medal finalist in stage magic at the International Brotherhood of Magicians competition. Basically, he knows his stuff!

These aren’t just any old tricks; they’re fully fleshed-out, scripted performances straight from Marc’s own show. If you’re after the latest card moves, you might want to look elsewhere. But if you fancy fully crafted magical presentations that you can tweak to match your own style, then bingo! Every detail is laid out here—this isn’t just about the tricks, but the genius behind crafting true magical wonders.
Close-up magician, parlour performer, cabaret artist, or stage showman, there’s something for everyone in this collection—classic magic given a modern spin, mind-boggling mentalism, and storytelling that’ll make you sit up and pay attention. You’ll not only enjoy the performances but also get inspired by them. And then, you’ll dive into the real secrets behind these Master Works of Conjuring, most of which are being revealed and taught for the very first time.
Volume 4
The History of Magic Through Performance
In this gem, you’ll catch the full 90-minute lecture/demonstration that Marc presents for colleges, historical and literary societies, and the odd magic conference (because why not?). It’s a multimedia extravaganza that journeys through the entire history of magic—from ancient Egypt up to the present day. Intertwined with the tales of magical history are performances of ten seriously significant routines, including:
- The Cups and Balls
- Cut and Restored Rope
- The Egg Bag
- Everywhere and Nowhere
- The Die Box
- Nixon's Checker Cabinet
- The Magnetized Cards
- The Chinese Sticks
- The Linking Rings
- The Hydrostatic Glass
After the performance, you’ll get to go backstage (no hidden cameras, promise) to learn Marc's personal handlings and tips on these classics. Full explanations of The Cups and Balls, Cut and Restored Rope, Egg Bag, Everywhere and Nowhere, The Linking Rings, and The Hydrostatic Glass are all included.
