WEDNESDAY WIZARDRY WITH MARC DESOUZA
A night of magic comes to South Jersey with Wednesday Wizardry at the Sketch Club Players of Woodbury New Jersey. Magicians Johnny Mass and John Kostyal join headliner Marc DeSouza along with Emcee Mike Sloves.
Marc DeSouza is a Philadelphia native with an International reputation in the Magic Community. As a performer, inventor, author, lecturer and motivational speaker, his talents have been displayed at gatherings throughout Europe, Asia, Australia and North America.
In over fifty years of performing, his unique style has garnered him an impressive array of over 50 regional, national and international awards. Marc is the only two-time winner of the Society of American Magicians National Stage Magic Competition, in 1978 and again in 1989. In 1995, Marc became the first magician in that organization’s history to win the prestigious Silver Medal in both the Stage and Close-Up categories. In 1993, he became the first magician in the history of the International Brotherhood of Magicians to place in both the Stage Magic and Close-Up Magic International Competitions in the same year. He is a three time IBM Gold Medal Finalist.
In July of 1996, Marc made magical history again by winning both the SAM and IBM Close-Up Competitions, and a third Silver Medal from the SAM. As National Champion, Marc represented the S.A.M. at the F.I.S.M. competition held in 1997 in Dresden, Germany. This competition is held every three years and is considered to be the Olympics of Magic.
Marc's talents have been in demand throughout the Mid-Atlantic area for performances at private parties, corporate events and gala affairs. He specializes in creating moments of impossibility right in front of your eyes… sometimes, right in your own hands. Philadelphia Magazine named Marc DeSouza the Best of Philly Magician in 1990, and has not so honored another since then. In February, 2001, Marc was one of twenty magicians chosen nationwide to perform as part of the Presidential Inaugural activities. His magic amazed and amused both Cabinet Members and visiting dignitaries. You too will be entranced by this unusual performer who blends humor, skill and mystery into MAGIC!
