Away from his body, the severed head of Juan Perez the Great (a low life magician) recalls what led him to loose his head.

After a dreadful economic crisis, and in order to keep his place in his beloved circus, Juan Perez promises a sensational beheading act that could certainly bring the glory back to the big top. With the clock ticking and no money to build an artifact like this, our magician will be forced to steal an original Guillotine, without knowing that it carries a deadly curse.

Lejos de su cuerpo, la cabeza cercenada de Juan Pérez el Grandioso (un mago de quinta) comienza a recordar cómo fue a perder la cabeza. Después de una espantosa crisis sexenal y para no perder el empleo en su amado circo, Juan Pérez promete montar un sensacional acto de decapitación que bien podría regresarle sus días de gloria. Con el tiempo encima y sin un quinto para construir una máquina así, nuestro mago se verá obligado a robar una Guillotina verdadera, sin saber que sobre esta pesa una terrible maldición.
