Magic Circus by Mark Wilson

Experience the magic of “Magic Circus,” featuring some of the world’s top magicians as guest stars:

Join “The Professor” Dai Vernon as he showcases his legendary skills.

Marvel at the mysterious Shimada performing his stunning parasol act.

The show opens with “The Gilded Cage,” where three enchanting girls magically appear in a golden cage suspended above the audience.

Watch as Mark performs his famous Sucker Egg Trick, followed by Rebo’s grand entrance on a live elephant, which Mark makes vanish right before your eyes.

Enjoy a captivating duet with the lovely Nani Darnell in Mark’s rendition of the impossible “Nani Divided in Half.”

This is followed by the exclusive television debut of Alan Wakeling’s incredible “Gorilla Crushing,” featuring Nani on the flying trapeze, who mysteriously disappears as she is seemingly crushed by a 400-pound gorilla!

Mark continues with several sleight-of-hand effects, leading to a breathtaking Asrah Levitation, where Nani vanishes mid-air and reappears inside a stack of boxes.

The grand finale features the classic “Shooting a Girl from a Cannon,” enhanced by innovations from Alan Wakeling and John Gaughan.

The second “Magic Circus” begins with Mark Wilson’s parts being assembled from a collection of boxes, all while surrounded by the audience.

Once on stage, Mark performs various sleight-of-hand tricks, culminating in the classic “Lady to Leopard” illusion. Still amidst the audience, Mark and Nani present the first U.S. performance of Robert Harbin’s “Zig-Zag Illusion.”

Next is “A Recipe for Beauty,” an original illusion featuring an enchanted oven where Mark magically combines beauty, love, and a hint of jealousy to create the enchanting Nani.

Mark showcases his version of the Split Deck and a rapid series of dove productions and vanishes, leading to the climactic debut of Alan Wakeling’s thrilling “Aquarian Illusion,” a dangerous underwater mystery that later became a highlight of Mark’s Las Vegas shows.

All “Magic Circus” performances are first-generation transfers from master broadcast tapes, featuring Mark, Nani, and their magical guest stars, all presented in vibrant color and accompanied by a full orchestra.

Running Time: Approximately 1 hour 18 minutes

Enjoy the world-renowned ventriloquial act of Jay Marshall and Lefty, which has entertained audiences for over fifty years.

“Magic Circus Show #3” opens with Mark’s original “Flying Crystal Box,” which produces the equally magical Nani Darnell.

Mark then performs a clever color silk transposition, with Rebo assisting in the first U.S. televised performance of Robert Harbin’s puzzling “Topsy-Turvey Cabinet.”

A unique overhead perspective showcases a close-up card effect, followed by Mark’s rendition of “The Professor’s Nightmare” with a volunteer from the audience.

Everyone is astonished as the lovely Nani is divided into four parts in Alan Wakeling’s revolutionary version of a classic illusion, which Mark dubs “The World’s Largest Card Trick.” Laughter ensues as Mark performs the Egg Bag with two children from the audience.

Finally, witness the only televised performance of the remarkable “Motley Man,” where a comic character is instantly dressed in four hilariously contrasting outfits, all chosen by audience members.
