School Assembly Set!

I’ve had a few magicians ask me if I’m going to make parts of the school assembly I’m out performing available to magicians. The answer is YES, I’m making the whole Amazing Americans school assembly available!

This show runs approx. 40 minutes and is about some people who have made the USA and the world a cooler place! This show is great for a school assembly or library shows. It was originally written for the USA’s 250th birthday, however there’s no mention of that. This is a technically “history” based show, not a patriotic show, so it can be booked this year and beyond!!

In this download you’ll get two videos, and two pdf’s in this set.

  • Video of the show at a school assembly
  • Video walkthrough of the shows props and tech
  • PDF of the script
  • PDF shopping list of all the commercially available props in the show.

Right now I have this as a pre-order for $60 until 4/30, after that the price goes up to $75.

Magic Show For Toddlers

Last summer I did a show at a summer camp at a child care center. They said they had a large group asked me if instead of one large show, if I could do five short shows. I declined saying that they one show they booked was 40 mins and that’s all the time I have, so they can chop up that 4o mins however they want, and suggested we do one big show (like we originally agreed on). They said how about two 17 ish mins shows because they were such a large group. I agreed to that.

The first show was about 60 kids ranging in ages from about for years old to about 10 years old. I’ve done this a thousand times, no big deal. Then the second group came in and it was four toddlers.

FOUR TODDLERS!

There’s really nothing I can do for a group like this. When the kids are two years old, I’m a scary stranger, unless they have visual cues from older kids that I’m OK and that this is a fun thing.

When booking these shows I’m very clear that the show is written for ages 4 and up, however younger kids can attend with the older kids. Developmentally a lot happens between two and three years AND between three and four years of age.

Here’s a sample of what happens when a kid turns about four years old:

Those are at four years old, imagine what a two year old doesn’t under stand!!!

Well, since they were there and I was there, I just blew through the show. It was a emotionally very unfulfilling, but I got through it. That was rough and I learned my lesson if this ever comes up again to ask the age groups of each group and specifically remind them that I won’t take a group of kids that are all three and under.

Final Kid Show of the Summer!

In the summers I do shows for kid’s summer camps. I just did my last one of the summer! My goal this year was to create a show that was something that I could set up and pack up in 10 minutes.

The case that the show fit into is the size that fits into the overhead bin of an airplane. I don’t fly with this show, but wanted it to take up minimal space in my car.

The tricks in this show don’t borrow props for any other show that I do, so what’s in the case stays in that case and it has it’s own audio gear. The only thing in that show that I use that’s in other shows is the speaker.

It’s super hand to just grab the case and go!
