The request was a first for Eli Marks: “Can you help me make my tuba disappear?”
Magician (and magic shop owner) Eli Marks is confronted with this odd demand just before he is about to close up shop for the day.
Over the next few tense minutes, he finds a solution to that question which also, fortunately, puts him the positive side of what turns out to be a life-or-death situation.
