THE COMPLETE MAGIC PARTY
£50.00
Mark Leveridge's two classic works on
entertaining children have been combined and totally updated in one hard backed
book!
189 x A4 pages, hardbacked with
attractive full cover dust jacket and with over 70 colour photo illustrations
10 warm-up routines, over 40 games for
all ages, and 20 magic routines
THE COMPLETE MAGIC PARTY
is a highly detailed book dealing with many aspects of entertaining children
with games and magic. Based on my previous best selling tomes The Magic Party
Volumes 1 and 2, this new work provides children's entertainers with a huge
amount of information based on my 30+ years experience of providing lively,
marketable parties for youngsters.
The book is divided into sections.
Advice Sections. There are
major chapters of professional advice on understanding the modern child, on how
to exercise control over your young charges, on how to organise yourself in
terms of taking bookings and providing good backup paperwork, on advertising,
plus a whole range of other aspects of being a paid children's performer.
Games Section. I give a
thorough overview of how to present games in a fun and commercial way with all
the main principles of running games being covered. Providing games at a party
enables you to provide more at your bookings and thus achieve higher fees when
you work. There are also over 40 games and activities detailed which cover
all ages up to about 10. There are even four pre-show activities described to
help smooth the way to a calm start to the party.
Warm Up Section. Preparing
your audience well at the very outset of your show helps them to enjoy what you
do to the full, and this section talks about how to get your young audience into
the right frame of mind at the start of your performance and why it is so
important. I also detail 10 warm ups that I have used in my own shows, two of
which are published for the first time.
Magic Section. My approach
to magic for children has always been to minimise the props and maximise the
entertainment. My magic is often based on tricks more usually presented to
adults but to which a presentation suitable for children has been added. There
are 20 magic routines described and these are not just presentations for
dealer type effects which you will need to purchase before you can proceed, but
instead use props that you will either have or can easily get hold of. Included
in the list of effects are full instructions for two children's routines
currently sold separately in my catalogue, plus a couple of other effects which
were not in the original books.
THE COMPLETE MAGIC PARTY is
a nicely produced hardback book which is packed full of information which will
help both experienced and novice children's entertainers to get the most out of
their paid work at children's parties. Everything in the book has been revised
and updated and a large amount of it has been totally re-written to ensure that
you get the very latest information.
