Quentin Reynolds KIDSALABIM Kidshow Lecture & DVD

Between these lecture notes (22 pages crammed with information, routines and ideas) and the accompanying DVD, which was made to see most of the effects in the lecture performed and explained (this was not taped in front of a live audience), you will see a wide range of effects and routines for the children's and family entertainer.

The Vanishing Rabbit: many children's effects use large cards where one of them vanishes. This is usually done via a double-turnover. Here you will learn a number of ways of vanishing a card that are thoroughly baffling and amazing to any adult watching, and all are just as easy - or easier than a double turnover.

Color Changing Silks: A complete routine with patter. Easy to do and includes the vanish of a silk that can be used in any effect where you vanish a silk, that will fool many magicians and is easy and simple to do.

Rope and Ring: A fun three-minute routine with a rope (or shoelace) and a ring that is suitable for strolling, table hopping, birthday parties, or stand-up shows.

The Turning Page: How to add a simple gimmick to any book of instructions you might use - such as a pop up book, Magic Spells book etc - and have a page turn over on its own while you aren't looking. Entirely self-contained. Learn how to time it to get the best audience reaction. Also included are instructions on how to have a quill stand-up and write on a page, all on its own.

Mad Mad Balls: The only effect that requires you to make something. But the effect is well worth it. The original from Supreme Magic required some sleight-of-hand. This version is improved and self-contained. Full instructions given. A small box is shown to contain a red ball which is placed in your pocket. It continually jumps from there and returns to the box. Only each time it changes color, much to your consternation and much to the delight of the audience. Four color changes in all. Eventually it changes into a large 3" ball.

Getting them laughing from the very start of the show: Tips on getting your young audience to start laughing from the very start of your show.

Plus Close-Up routines: Suitable for close-up work, or simply to have a routine ready to go in your pocket.
