Be a Clown by Mark Stolzenberg
If you love to clown around, it's time to get serious about it…serious fun that is. Being a clown means more than merely putting on silly makeup and jumping around: it's a wonderful form of self-expression that brings joy to yourself and to others. Take a look at the world's best jesters and expand your understanding of comedy. Here are the (literal) tricks of the trade: ideas for using cartoon-like imagery, choosing a distinctive costume, finding a comic rhythm, and mastering physical skills that will make people roll in the aisles. Project the right raucous attitude, work in duets, and develop an irresistibly humorous "clown walk." Even say hello in a way that gets your audience giggling. Actual routines unfold in a series of photos and descriptions, with tips on selling them. From the "levitation gag" to "wire walking," to developing your own act, it's the perfect clown school. *8 X 10 *160 pages all in color

Codology from Kovari Magic
The classic Monkey Bar brought up to date by Kovari Magic! The children in your audience will scream when the following sequence transpires: Show a bar from which hands three lengths of rope. On the end of one rope is a gilttering, golden fish. The fish is one one of the end pieces of rope. After considerable by-play in which the magician tells the children that the fish has jumped from one end of the bar to the next (they can clearly see that he's simply turning the bar end for end behind his back, and they tell him so, LOUDLY), the fish jumps to the CENTER rope. For a spectacular finish, the magician causes two more fish to appear on the other ropes! Super-high quality construction throughout makes Codology a dream to use. The fish are hand made from glittering fabric in three colors and the bar itself (which does most of the dirty work for you) is made from heavy-duty plastic.
