Among Marlo’s closest friends and students were Allan Ackerman, Simon Aronson, Steve Drawn, Don England, Bill Malone, Jimmy Molinari, Jon Racherbaumer, Dave Solomon and Randy Wakeman. Solomon took advantage of this historic event to film all of them telling their favorite Marlo stories and performing the tricks that he inspired.
In addition, there is exclusive footage of Marlo performing color changes, Ace productions, Oil and Water variations, transformations, Triumph, Open Travelers, cards to pocket, Devilish Miracle, Open Prediction, multiple versions of the Ace of Spade Trick and an incredible 17-minute video clip of Marlo, Charlie Miller and Dai Vernon at the Magic Castle!
