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

you'll want to adapt these routines to fit your own personality, but learning
from the author's more than 20 years' experience in entertaining children
will save you valuable time and give you crucial information on how to

the latest improvements for the 21st century! In addition to the kid-show
routines, Sammy shares his best tips and advice for entertaining children,
learned from literally thousands of performances. This is a textbook on
entertaining children with comedy and magic which every kid-show performer
should own and use. The comments which a prominent children's performer

David Kaye, master of magic for the miniature set, has done just that
and far more. He has written a terrific book full of eye-opening ideas
about 'how to entertain children with magic and comedy,' as the book's
subtitle plainly labels it. Quite possibly the smartest book ever that

your specialty, who will not derive immeasurable if unexpected benefit
from reading this book." - Jamy Ian Swiss, Genii, The Conjurors' Magazine

for more than 18 years, and during that time he has performed more than
7,000 shows. David has now assembled his thoughts on kid's show magic
in a marvelous book titled Seriously Silly. This book may well become
the definitive resource on this type of magic. Seriously Silly is a tremendously
valuable book, containing insights that only come from years of experience.
For the kid's show performer, it is indispensable. ...Highly recommended.
- Michael Close, MAGIC Magazine "There is no book regarding the performance
of magic for adults that is the equal of David Kaye's Seriously Silly.
The psychological insight the author has regarding his young audience
is staggering. Seriously silly offers lessons in performance and psychology
that every performer, whether working for children or adults, can use
to greatly enhance their shows. I don't publish many books these days,
but I had no choice here: Seriously Silly is the best book ever written
on how to perform magic effectively." - Richard Kaufman

Acrobatic Fish by Viking
This
is one of the best and funniest versions of Ken Allen's Monkey Bar ever
invented. You begin with one large fish hanging from a cord. You proceed
to make the fish jump from one end of the rod to the other. Finally, the
obvious solution occurs to your audience, but you're one step ahead of
them, and the fish magically jumps to the middle cord. As a surprise ending,
you take your bow, and when you look again at the stick there are now
THREE FISH hanging, one from each cord! This is so well made, you won't
believe the unit is self-contained. The method is so simple, you'll be
performing this minutes after you receive it. Finest quality, complete
with routine. Each fish measures 9" long, made of brillient gold lame;
the stick is just 1" in diameter.

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.

Monkey Bar - Nu-Way
Completely
Different Method - Suitable for Stage! Show a large wooden baton with
three cords running through it. At the end of each cord is a ball, two
of which are of the same color (say red), and one a different color (say
yellow). Now show the cord run freely through the holes, and the balls
are securely tied on the cords. Explain you'll make the ball jump from
one cord to the other. You pass the baton behind your back, and the odd
colored ball jumps from one end (say left) to the other (right). The audience
is not impressed, - they know you are just turning the baton around behind
your back. You appear offended at not be believed, and offer to prove
conclusively that the balls do jump from one cord to the other. The baton
is passed behind the back once again, and when brought to the front, the
odd colored ball is now tied on the middle rope, between the two similar
colored ones. Thick cords, and large balls, making it very visible even
on the larger stage. Easily adapt the baton for use in any of the other
presentations!

8 foot Pole
This
is the classic appearing EIGHT foot pole. Imagine the look on the audience
face when you look inside a very small lunch bag and out pops what appears
to be an eight foot solid oak pole! This looks real even close-up. When
the first sample was shipped to us, I couldn’t figure out how it could
possibly collapse. It just didn’t make any sense. Your mind will boggle
when you find out how it works! Seriously, if you aren't absolutely impressed
with this concept, we will refund every penny! The visual on this is incredible,
your audience will not believe their eyes. Even close-up you can’t figure
it out! Put it in their hands and they still can’t figure it out! This
is visual high-powered magic at it’s best, at an extremely reasonable
price. Imagine anytime during your act you reach into your pocket, a hat
or a little paper sack and pull out this pole! I know it sounds impossible,
but once you have this thing in your hands, that’s exactly what you will
be able to do. It’s simple, in fact so simple a child could easily do
it! Don’t confuse this with the appearing canes and candles on the market.
We all know those have seams you can see. This pole is VISUALLY seamless
no coils or springs of any kind. You can do this right out in the audience
surrounded with no fear of being caught.

Total
Recoil
Magicians
have had a problem for years... they can make a ten-foot pole appear,
but they can't make it disappear...until now! Bob Miller's Total Recoil
is the perfect way to end your appearing ten-foot pole trick (meaning
you no longer have to carry the pole out from the show to roll back up
in private). Total Recoil can also make producing the ten-foot pole an
hilarious running gag–part of the way into your show you pull the pole
out until it's just a few feet out of the bag, then push it back inside.
Later you pull out more of the pole, but again push it back inside and
to finish, you pull the pole completely out of the bag but again push
it all the way back inside and accept the applause! Works with any of
the original Appearing Poles, Pro Poles, Crayons and Pencils. Note: Pole
not included.

silk), and last but not least there was air!" The performer gathers up
all the silks in his hand and gently blows a puff of air upon them. The
four small silks instantly transform into a large "sunburst" style silk

and wonder." Removing a moon shaped bottle from around his neck, he continues...
"We need to become more like the little children, those who believe in
magic without question." The performer removes a small bubble wand from
the moon. "The dreams of children are in many ways similar to bubbles.
Small, beautiful, perfect in form... but fragile and easily destroyed
by the harsh realities of life." Blowing bubbles, he states... "I hope
that in some small way my performance has been able to help you relive
the sense of wonder and amazement which comes with childhood..." Reaching
out he catches several solid bubbles on his hand... "and that you can
each hold onto that little bit of magic which makes our lives so wonderful!"
