All of Zack’s Shows Come With A
In over 24 years of performing, he has NEVER had a customer claim to be unsatisfied with his show, or ask for their money back! If you are not happy with Zack’s show – IT IS FREE!
Zack has shows that are for children, shows for teens, shows for adults, and a family show that is great for ages 4 or 5+.
Zack is a professional entertainer with the experience needed to create a memorable occasion for your audience.
Effects such as sponges passing from Zack’s hands, magically into a child’s hand, then completely changing shape in the child’s hand, to peanut butter and jelly jars transposing, and a sandwich magically appearing in a child’s hand are just 2 of many things you can expect to see in Zack’s show.
For the adult show: 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 various shows. 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! There are moments in the show where volunteers may be made to look silly, but it is in a completely fun and seriously non-embarrassing way. They may leave making Zack look silly, though! That tends to make them happy! The exception to this rule is in cases where a client requests that a certain member of the audience (a co-worker at a corporate event, for example) be made to look silly. Zack can certainly fill requests!
Zack’s shows are non-offensive, and fun for everyone! Zack does not use political, or harsh profanity. His dangerous stunt magic is ‘PG’ rated (e.g. the Razor Blade illusion, and the Block Head trick in which he hammers a 3-4″ solid steel spike into his face or the Russian Roulette mentalism effect with broken bottles, which are all performed in the adult show).
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 January 2011! (and is continually being updated) It includes the finest in modern technology. He uses a portable high quality stereo PA system capable of entertaining large audiences indoors or out! He uses a super clear signal professional wireless microphone system.(just updated to comply with new FCC regulations) The music is self run in such a way that the audience doesn’t even know, from a special radio remote control operated Ipod. The entire system can be run from its own completely silent power supply (for up to 3 hours), so no AC outlets are required by the venue. Zack’s show with sound can be performed anywhere… even in the middle of a desert! Zack is serious about the quality of his performance, and being as accommodating as possible!
