Magic by Duane F Bertonneau

If the tuxedo with tails and ornate cummerbund doesn't clue you in, then add to that his luxurious "handlebar" moustache..and you can see a block away that that..he's an entertainer, in the broad sense of the word. His act, which is constantly growing and changing with the times, is a combination of classic "closeup" magic tricks, "animal-sculpting" with balloons, mind-reading and audience participation games, all regularly highlighter by his humorous patter and the drumand-cymbal "ba-da-boom!" The guests at the Great One's shows find they are surprised and amazed by the finesse of his tricks and illusions, in about equal measure to laughing hysterically at his witty observations.

With his portable "pedestal stage" he becomes a strolling magician, able to work in his intimate style within crowds of any size. And these days his performances are in demand more and more in places around the world, where his show takes place on a stage, in front of large audiences.

Although The Great One's act is meticulously planned, each performance appears spontaneous because the audience is always interacting and this means things can go in a variety of directions. The focus may change from cards that "jump out of the deck", to sponge balls that "multiply" beneath a cup and over to disappearing coins, all based on audience members' responses to his tongue-in-cheek questions and requests. The whole package is held together with The Great One's witty, irreverent dialogue, which keeps any group a little "off-balance" and totally susceptible to his captivating sleight-of-hand. The Great One's performances add up to Merriment in Magic for any group, as they are a combination of ingenious tricks, clever topical humor and continual audience interaction.
