To begin his performance, Super materialized a bowling ball after drawing one on a sketch pad. Paired with his stage manager and little sister, Amanda, Super promised to give the crowd an “interactive magic experience,” by levitating an audience member and performing his voodoo magic on another.

Taking a crushed soda can, Mike Super asked the audience to concentrate on setting it back to its original form. To the audience’s awe, Super not only resealed the can, he filled it back up with Pepsi! Super, however, insisted that all of what he did was filled with illusion and a number of very quick tricks. In fact, he even tried to explain how he was creating his illusions while ripping a newspaper up into tiny pieces, only to show the crowd that the newspaper wasn’t ripped at all!

The next few acts required willing victims—otherwise known as volunteers—to help Super with his performance. His first volunteer (an RPI visitor named Sandra) stood on the stage astounded as she aided him with his rope tricks. Super actually had Sandra cut the rope into pieces and continuously surprised her by putting the rope back together as if it was brand new.

Another audience member—this time a six-year-old boy named Michael—stepped onto the stage to help Super with his next trick. Letting the youngster pick a card from an oversized pack, Super tried to guess his choice by drawing it on his sketch pad. After a second try—the first having failed, since Michael enthusiastically yelled out the number of his card, much to Super’s and the crowd’s amusement—Super guessed the card wrong. However, his wrong guess turned out to be correct, as his sketch suddenly revealed a three of hearts—Michael’s true card—poking behind his drawing of the two of spades.

The time finally came when Super would “sweep a volunteer off her feet.” Taking a lady from the crowd, he placed her on a wooden board atop two ladders. After the volunteer relaxed and closed her eyes, Super slowly moved each of the ladders out from beneath the wooden board. Super was then handed a large ring, which he ran around the board and volunteer, proving to the audience that there were no strings attached to the floating board. The volunteer received a picture of her experience as a souvenir.

One of Super’s signature pieces was his claim to perform voodoo magic on an audience member. He led a willing male volunteer—who didn’t particularly believe in voodoo magic—up to the stage. Super presented a doll to the audience and proceeded to use voodoo to extract a reaction from the volunteer. The magician even took his lighter out and burned the voodoo doll’s hands—with the volunteer completely unaware about what was happening, of course. The result was a pair of singed hands. As a last resort, Super finally unleashed his “convincer” (a very pointy stick) and poked it right into the voodoo doll. The volunteer let out a yelp and jumped off the chair he had been sitting on.

His next two acts included predicting a randomized murder scene and bringing a piece of tissue paper to life. Three random audience members each gave out a celebrity’s name, a weapon, and the scene of the crime. In a locked box, presented at the start of the show, Super unveiled that his prediction made hours before was right. The murder was indeed committed by Sylvester Stallone in Egypt with an ATV. Afterwards, Super had a piece of tissue paper dance across his arm and onto his volunteer’s hand. He then burned it and produced a real rose as a result.

The final act was dedicated to Super’s mom, who supported him throughout his youth. Super told the audience of his sentimental story about promising his mother that he would make it snow every day. Sure enough, after placing wet tissue paper onto his palm and rubbing his hands together, Super did make it snow on stage, a touching end to his performance.
