My father and I have a
love/hate relationship with these guys, we love them as friends,
performers and pitchmen. Yet,
we are envious (in an appreciative manner) relative to how good they
are at demonstration. Additionally at how quick they are able to close
their shop at the end of a convention. Charles average packing time
take all of three minutes (compared with to three hours for us).
While I do not have the
tenure my father has in terms of experiencing all the wonders of the
world of magic, I have been around long enough to know when someone
really makes that rare and lasting impact in the world of magic.
Charles Gauci is definitely one of, if not the most successful
makers of magical miracles I have ever seen.
I see now why Joe says his line is the modern day Ken Brooke.

Body
Language (Charles Gauci)
|
|
The performer shows a drawstring bag
containing five small balls, one of which is black. He walks
into the audience and asks someone to reach into the bag and
remove one of the balls, keeping it hidden in his hand. After
all five balls are distributed; the performer asks the
spectators to peek into their fists to see what color ball
they are holding. The performer announces that he will find
the black ball because Body Language will tell him who is
holding it. He goes from person to person, eliminating the
other balls. Of course, he knows who is holding the black
ball! Suitable for table-hopping, strolling, stage and a
wonderful children’s effect. Complete with detailed
instructions, bag, balls and special gimmick. Bag and ball
colors may vary. FREE DVD with purchase!

Every time
Charles lectures, I always ask a few friends how it went – and the
truth is – every single person “raves” about his effects.
As I stated last time in a previous story about Charles, I once
asked Tom Westerheide
(a person that is not shy about providing negative critiques),
which of Charles effects he enjoyed the most.
Tom’s answer was – all of them!
As a result of Charles amazing performance acumen
and creative accomplishments, many people seek out his expertise and
advise. In fact, Charles
is working on some exciting new projects that you will be hearing
about soon – that will only reaffirm his position as one of the best
triple headers (Creator, Pitch Men and Performer extraordinaire) in
the world.

Nostradamus
(Charles Gauci)
|
|
The performer shows a small board
with 16 magnetic number tiles. Four spectators are each given
face down tiles. The first spectator chooses the order for his
tiles to be placed across the board. Each does the same in
turn. The four resulting four-digit numbers are added. The
performer shows his prediction written on a pad. It matches!
He tears off the page, crumples it and drops it on the table.
Once again, he distributes the tiles. Now, he takes one from
each individual, repeating until the board is full. This set
of numbers results in a new total. The performer picks up his
original crumpled prediction, blows on it and opens it—his
prediction has mysteriously changed to the new total! An
impossible close-up number prediction, which will baffle the
most astute audiences.

Stevens Magic is proud to be the
exclusive distributor for Charles Gauci’s line.
Equally important is the philosophy that we both share regards
to, individual substance, integrity and ethics in magic.
Our relationship works because there is a foundation that is more
important then just sales and products.
This foundation is a personal belief in what is right, and a
willingness not to compromise those inherent values.

Houdini
Card Mystery (Charles Gauci)
|
|
The performer brings out a deck of
cards with two holes in it. A card is chosen and signed by a
spectator. It is returned to the deck, which is shuffled and
placed back in the card case. A rubber band is wrapped around
the case. Now, a ribbon is threaded through one hole and a bolt
is placed through the other. A nut is tightened onto the bolt. A
spectator holds the ends of the ribbon and another person covers
the deck with a handkerchief. The performer brings out the
selected signed card. The spectator still holds the ribbon and
the bolt is still secured through the deck!
