MAGIC FOR ADULTS

There are two types of magic that work well for an adult audience. Close up magic, described on a different page, and a stand-up show performed for the entire audience at the same time. I have experience performing for small audiences at a party in someone’s home as well as doing magic for several hundred audience members in large theatres.

The premise that runs through my adult act is that things seem to be out of control, and it appears that nothing is going right. For example, I ask for an assistant from the audience to test her ESP. Two giant-sized decks of cards are shown. From the first deck, I show the entire audience a prediction card, say the Queen of Hearts. Another audience member is asked to keep an eye on the card. Then I show a second deck to the audience, but NOT my assistant. All 52 of the cards in the second deck are the Queen of Hearts. What could go wrong? No matter what card she picks, it has to be the Queen of Hearts. Unfortunately, when my assistant names the card she selected she says, “Three of Clubs.” Sure enough, when we turn around the card she just picked from the deck which ONLY had Queens of Hearts, it is the Three of Clubs. The only way out is real magic. So with the assistant’s help we turn the prediction card left in the care of the audience member which WAS the Queen of Hearts into the Three of Clubs.

In another typical scene from the adult show, a $20 bill is borrowed from an audience member and the serial number carefully recorded on a large envelope. The bill is folded up and placed in a small coin envelope, and then mixed with three other identical envelopes so that nobody knows which of the four envelopes has the $20. The envelopes are numbered, and then, as directed by the audience member who has lent the $20, one by one three envelopes of the audience member’s choosing are destroyed, leaving one single envelope. When the spectator opens the audience, unfortunately there is a blank piece of paper inside. After a bit of fun regarding how the spectator might seek a replacement $20 from a bank the next day, an insurance policy, which has been stored inside the magician’s wallet in an inside coat pocket saves the day and the same $20 with the identical serial number recorded at the beginning of the act is found inside the policy.

It’s all for laughs, and there is no questionable humor included. Everything in my act is suitable for a family audience. We eventually get to the desired magic end, but we have a lot of fun taking the journey!
