TARDIO ENTERTAINMENT PRESENTS
ZACK PERCELL OF TNZ MAGIC


 COMEDY MAGIC AND ILLUSION

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A TNZ MAGIC SHOW

The following is an overview of some of the features and highlights of Zack’s performances.  CLICK HERE for Info on the different packages that Zack has to offer.

Zack Percell of TNZ Magic combines comedic and dramatic magic like no other performer.  Zack feels that goofy slapstick, high energy comedy and serious theatrical magic can go well together, and are unique when presented in the unusual way that he presents them.  Sometimes a single routine will combine the two types of theatrics.  One example of a routine that will swing you from laughter to suspense is the Razor Blade illusion.  The illusion is usually presented in the adult shows, and is serious with lots of comic relief.  Zack places 3 feet of thread into his mouth, followed by 6 proven sharp, double edge razor blades.  All 6 blades are pulled from his mouth in a matter of seconds.  All 6 blades are tied within inches of each other on the thread!  Impossible, you say...?  It is, but hey, that's why it's magic!  

Audience participation is a major part of Zack's act.  Some performers, especially magicians will have an imaginary wall put up between the audience and themselves.  Zack feels that there should be no wall, and that he should always be on the same level as his audience.  Priority #1 for Zack is making the audience comfortable with him.  This is why he gets not just members of the audience involved, but almost everyone is involved in one way or another.  
One difference you will find in Zack's show that has been passed on through the TNZ tradition is that Zack does not believe in embarrassing his audience members.  If someone is called on stage, they never leave feeling or looking 'stupid'.  They leave happy!  They may leave making Zack look silly, though!  That tends to make them happy!  

Zack's shows are non offensive, and fun for everyone!  Zack does not use political, or harsh sexual humor.  He does not use harsh profanity (maybe just a bit of light toilet humor; the Torn and Restored TP trick!).  His dangerous stunt magic is 'PG' rated (e.g. the Razor Blade illusion, and the Block Head trick in which he hammers a 4 1/2" solid steel spoke into his face). 

Finally, Zack provides all of his own equipment.  His show is totally self-contained.  He brings his own complete sound system!  Zack’s sound system has been updated as of July 2007!  It includes the finest in modern technology.  He uses a portable 150w PA system (capable of entertaining outdoor audiences of up to 300 people!) and a super clear signal professional wireless microphone system.   The music is self run in such a way that the audience doesn’t even know, from a radio remote control operated mp3 Mini Disc player.  The entire system can be run from a noiseless power supply (for up to 3 hours), so no AC outlets are required.  Zack’s show with sound can be performed anywhere… even in the middle of a desert!  His updated sound system alone values at about $2500.00!  This lets you know that if Zack is serious about anything, it’s the quality of his performance! 

If applicable, all of the special effects equipment (fog FX, pyrotechnics, & lighting) are provided by Zack, when needed.
