Johnny
Ace Palmer
Portrait of a
Champion
Show Description
Johnny's act virtually bursts at the seams with the most sophisticated
effects in all of magic. The show begins quickly and dynamically: Johnny
shows a silk scarf to be empty front and back, and then--voila!--he
produces a king-sized Classic CokeŽ bottle.
Next, Johnny shows his mastery of one of the
most difficult and respected areas of magic--coin manipulation. Johnny
makes four half dollars walk across the backs of his fingers
simultaneously, and then makes a coin fly a full 14 inches upward from
his immobile hand.
When Johnny brings out playing cards, he
casually but stunningly shows his dexterity, skillfully producing four
aces from an exhaustively shuffled deck.
The thimble trick seems to be the cute part of
the show--a tiny thimble jumping magically from one finger to another
with amazing quickness--but leaves the audience gasping when Johnny
reaches into the thimble and pulls out a full-sized eight ball.
Children and adults alike love the sponge
balls, tiny red foam-rubber balls that seem to have a life of their own,
magically jumping from one hand to another, multiplying, appearing in a
nearly endless stream from Johnny's mouth, and finally, transforming
into a sponge ball the size of a full-sized crystal ball.
What audiences remember best about
Johnny's act, however, is his classic cups-and-balls routine. It is pure
Johnny: the best moves, the most incredible effects, and the most
magical presentation. And as if that weren't enough, Johnny finishes by
lifting up the cups, and from beneath each, out walks a live baby chick.
The finale brings this award winning show to a
tremendous finish: Johnny takes a top hat the size of a thimble, and
impossibly pulls out 75 feet of metallic silver streamer. Then he picks
up the silver streamer, and magically produces a dove. He stands for the
applause, and the one dove metamorphoses into two.
His Walk-Around Magic
Johnny's walk-around magic translates his award-winning close-up show
into a strolling format.
It is appropriate for private parties,
receptions, hospitality suites, and other events in which people
congregate in small groups.
When Johnny approaches a group, he brings out
four pure silver coins. While people watch, Johnny demonstrates
dexterity that no one else in the world has achieved. The coins roll
along the backs of his fingers and even fall upward! Then they melt
through fabric, disappear completely, and magically reappear.
Johnny continues his magic with cards, silk
scarves, a ring, rubber bands, and other items. But if you've seen
walk-around magic before, rest assured that you've never seen
walk-around magic like Johnny's. For example, one coin trick is so
extraordinary that no more than five people in the world can perform
it.
Johnny's walk-around magic is especially
astonishing, because the magic's happening live, not on television. It
happens right before his audience's eyes, within arm's reach, and
often, right in their own hands. People laugh in amazement. And they
gasp as their concept of the universe is momentarily shattered.
And after Johnny leaves, they often remember
their extraordinary encounter with him--often only five to ten
minutes--for the rest of their lives.
