What Will He Teach?
Formal Close Up, inspired by the Magic Castle’s Close Up Room, and also suitable for standup and parlor performances.
RAINMAKER: Begins with an innovative coin production, establishing his character and creating a unique atmosphere for the act. This routine blends Geoff Latta’s “Trick with Three Coins” with other effects (best experienced without prior knowledge) and culminates in the unveiling of a highly anticipated illusion known as “the Drip”.
PUKASTICK: A signature comedic presentation of Dick Zimmerman’s “Slippery Stones”.
XBOX: This is the definitive routine that sparked the modern Okito Box movement, never before released in full. Celebrated by experts as “the best Okito Box routine ever,” XBOX showcases the finest effects with this prop, enhances each one, introduces new techniques, and redefines box handling.
THE TEAR: Curtis’s personal rendition of the classic cigarette paper effect, which concludes his close-up and standup performances with a moment of inspiration and emotion. Although he hesitated to reveal this, we convinced him it was essential since it was the finale of his Castle Act.
CUPBORED: A brilliant concept by Simon Aronson, adapted for a more impactful Parlor/Standup performance. This profound mystery serves as the closing act of Curtis Kam’s current standup show.
