These are a few new pieces I've created  that are "in the works" for the show.  Some are beginning and some are just about ready to hit the stage.
 

The Hokey Polka A comedy illusion performed to a Weird Al Yankovic polka. The pretty fraulein is placed in a wine barrel and ends up in a beer barrel in a magical penetration through steel bars and a one-inch hole. And, yes, we dance a polka!

Voo Doo Dali A self portrait becomes the victim of comic antics when a Salvador Dali voo doo doll is burned, pierced, and more.  Melting watches, levitating objects, and dripping paint are all part of this cool new routine.

Psychic Socks (Now a 'highlight' in the show) Charles' socks become a comedy prediction illusion when three members of the audience choose a colored sock from a clothesline and the match magically falls from the line.

Keyhole Appearance The new way Charles will enter the stage for the first time is inside an enormous keyhole that until the last moment is completely empty.

Fosse Billiard Ball Routine
Charles performs a mulitplying ball routine done in classic Fosse dance style with Derby hat and white gloves. Another combination of dance and magic.

Dancing Butterflies Tissue paper butterflies and bright fireflies float and dance around a weeping willow tree.  They get caught in a jar and burst out to fly all around.

Paintball Bullet Catch BACH, Charles Bach.  A 007 inspired routine where an audience member fires a paint ball gun directly at Charles and he will catch the paintball in his mouth. Danger, excitement, and magic!

Flying Kite This routine has Charles putting all the pieces of a kite together with vanishes, appearances, changes of color, and much more to create a kite that actually flies on-stage.

Wind Chimes Prediction An illusion performed with only sound. Two sets of hand-tuned chimes are used to create a piece of original music. We quickly learn that Charles knew all along the piece of music that an audience member was going to create.

Finale Flying Kite
Charles grabs the tail of a huge version of his opening kite and flies off...only to appear somewhere else shortly after.

Car Production
Charles sets the stage for a road trip with a scenic backdrop and miniature road for a small, remote-controlled VW Bug. He makes the small car grow into a large one in seconds on a fully lit stage with no black curtain....and drives away.
