CLICK HERE for Info on the different packages that Zack has to offer.

CLOSE-UP / STREET MAGIC:

“CELEB” – A spectator is asked to think of the name and face of a celebrity.  Folding a business card in half, Zack begins to cut pieces of the card with scissors. (paper snow flake style).  The card is opened to reveal the unmistakable face of the celebrity! 

IMAGINATION” -  Who has the best imagination?  Everyone is shown a card that is face-down on the top of a face-up deck.  The deck is put in its box, then into another box.  The spectator with the best imagination is asked to imagine that the card is any card they want it to be.  They also imagine that the card is shuffled into the deck.  They finally imagine that the deck jumps from the 2nd box, into Zack’s pocket.  They are proven to have a great imagination when Zack shows that the 2nd box is now empty, the deck of cards is now in his pocket, and the card that the spectator imagined is the only face-down card in the entire deck!!  This is completely impossible, but it works every time!!

“PUTTING YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS” – Zack barrows a quarter from a spectator, and actually bites a chunk right out of the quarter!  He then spits the chunk right back on, and hands back the quarter!  Don’t try that at home!

Zack also bends coins in his bare hands!  He hands them back bent for people to keep!

“EGYPTIAN ORIGAMI” – On a recent trip to Cairo and Giza, Egypt, Zack discovered a way of folding a US $5.00 bill to make it look EXACTLY like an Egyptian 20 pound bill!  He is also known to turn US $1.00 bills inside-out, or even shift the makings on bills to different spots on the money!

 “RUBIC’S CUBE”- Zack proves that he can solve a Rubik’s Cube puzzle not only faster than anyone else in the world, but he can do it w/o touching it!  Watch as he tosses the mixed-up Cube into the air, and catches it completely solved!! 

Zack could literally perform close-up magic for hours! 

STAND-UP MAGIC:

“BALLOON TO DOVE” – Zack blows a balloon up.  He claims he is about to do the classic “Vanishing Balloon trick”.  Most people think it is simply a gag.  They know the balloon will pop, not vanish.  Well they are right!  However, there is also a surprise… As soon as the balloon pops, a live dove appears in its place!  One of the most amazing visual pieces of magic ever presented! 

 

TOILET PAPER OPENER” – Zack often opens his stage/stand-up performance with this comedic musical ‘manipulation’ routine where a roll of toilet paper is used in very humorous ways.  Zack uses glue from a glue bottle (rubbed into his hands) to restore toilet paper after it has been ripped to shreds.  He then makes a portion of the paper vanish from his hand, and re-appear inside a bottle that was shown empty just seconds before.  Finally, a handkerchief that was covering the toilet paper is displayed on both sides. Although there is nothing in the handkerchief, a bowl of water appears under it, with a LIVE gold fish swimming around in it!  This is a great way to start the show since it gets the laughs, and the “ohhhs”, and “ahhhhs” going right away!

SLATES” – This is a spectacular comedy mind reading marvel!  Using two 8” X 11” slates, Zack is not only able to read a randomly selected spectator’s mind, but write his two predictions on the slates with out even touching the boards, or the chalk!  Zack has a spectator think of the name of a playing card, and a number from 1-1000. While the SPECTATOR holds the chalk boards, Zack accurately predicts both and writes them down.  This routine gets a ton of laughs on the way, but also fools even magicians!! 

JACKET” – Zack’s escape from a regulation, industrial strength Straight Jacket is not only an amazing escape, but will have you in stitches! 

KNOTTED SILK” - One of the funniest tricks you’ve never seen!  Zack attempts to make a small handkerchief vanish from his hand, and re-appear between two knotted bandanas in his pocket.  What actually ends up happening gets a huge laugh EVERY time! 

“PREDICTION” – Zack hosts a beach party on stage, in which 3 randomly selected people provide 3 random and secret numbers.  The numbers are entered into a calculator and a large, very random math problem is created.  Zack proves that he know long in advance what the solution to the problem was going to be.  Math wasn’t even his strongest subject in school! 

“INVENTION”- Magic meets technology in this original exclusive!  A barrowed bill is signed, and inserted into Zack’s latest invention; a laser gun.  This is no ordinary laser gun, however.  When set to “heat”, the gun shoots to destroy… balloons.  When set to “port”, the gun teleports the signed dollar bill into a balloon of the spectator’s choice.  This is funny, visual, and impossible, but it happens!! 

DRAMATIC MAGIC:
HARNESSING LIGHT”- It’s been said by many magicians that Zack’s performance of this illusion is the best there is…  This is a mysterious routine done to music in which Zack actually plucks light from a bulb and holds it in his bare finger tips.  He then makes it float, and tosses it hand-to-hand.  Zack even removes light from the ears and clothing of audience members, making this not only an amazing stage effect, but a wonderful close-up effect too!  It is one of Zack’s few dramatic routines (still containing some comedic elements), but it is also one of his most popular.

RAZORS”- This illusion can be played as a dramatic, and/or comedic piece. (usually for adult shows, or at Halloween) It is performed to music and monologue.  Zack displays 6 double-edge razors.  Zack proves the razors are sharp.  He puts a piece of thread into his mouth.  He puts the razors into his mouth.  He removes the razors, tied to the thread.  Amazing & scary!

“BLOCK HEAD”- This is another one that is performed for adult shows, and Halloween parties!  A solid 4” steel spike is hammered into Zack’s face.  Scary, funny, and very entertaining (to everyone, except Zack’s mom!)
