Outrageous comedy mixed with mind-boggling sleight of hand illusions. 
Family-oriented entertainment that you'll NEVER forget. 
THREE TIMES voted "Magician of the Year" by the International Brotherhood of Magicians.
Geoff has performed in Europe, South America and throughout the US 
(including the world-famous Magic Castle in Hollywood).

Show Content:

My magic show is quite "out of the ordinary":

I produce a bottle of Perrier out of thin air - a glass then floats in the air as it's being filled

A boom box comes to life by plugging it into a drawing of an electrical outlet on a pad of paper

A metal knitting needle is visually shoved through a SOLID framed mirror

a ribbon is cut into 4 distinct and separate pieces and then instantly and completely fuses back into one ribbon 
(done bare handed, sleeves rolled up)

I solve a standard, scrambled Rubik's cube BY JUST TOSSING IT INTO THE AIR. 
I then solve a mini version of the cube WHILE IT'S IN MY MOUTH

A signed, borrowed bill appears in a balloon which was INFLATED 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE BILL WAS SIGNED

Springing a deck of playing cards upwards, I shoot the signed selection out of the air WITH A DART GUN

a handful of newspaper clippings taken from various pockets instantly fuse into a full-size, normal newspaper

I eat a 6-ft. long, fully-inflated, INSPECTED balloon (The single most talked-about trick in my show)

Lots of audience interaction, this act plays very big without having to use big illusions.

=== Biography ===

I am known for powerful sleight of hand illusions
mixed with an offbeat, zany sense of humor. My show is
filled with unforgettable illusions and outrageous
stunts - from shooting a signed card out of the air
with a dart gun to swallowing an inflated balloon
WHOLE. There is NO blue or offensive material; it's
family-friendly entertainment suitable for EVERYONE.

Some of my awards:

-- THREE TIMES voted "Magician of the Year" for the
state of Minnesota by the International Brotherhood of
Magicians

-- FIRST PLACE wins in Stage (2004), Close-Up (twice)
and Comedy (twice) categories at the annual Houdini

convention in Bologna)
-- The Magic Castle (in Hollywood, CA)

Minnesota region (Knuckleheads and Acme)

Europe and the U.S.)

Currently, I'm featured on a magic instructional DVD
being sold in magic shops worldwide (with TWO MORE
DVDs scheduled to be released in 2005).

My fee for this event would be $720, and includes one
hour of strolling, close-up illusions coupled with a
50-55 minute stage show.

If interested, please contact my management: All-Time
Favorites. As my January 2005 calendar is filling up
quickly, you'll want to call Brian at All-Time
Favorites (651-454-1124) soon to reserve this date.

Thanks for your time. I certainly hope we get the
chance to work together.

Sincerely,

Geoff
