Fundamentals of Magic Shows for Kids
January 30th, 2009 . by adminI am sure you would agree that magic shows for children should be focused on tricks involving ropes, rings, silk, and disappearing objects. Anything negative, upsetting, or that could potentially put the child at risk should be withheld for a more appropriate age group. Because of a child’s attention span, it is recommended not to do a magic show for more than an hour. In these shows children should be encouraged to get involved; the more hands on you are the more memorable the event will be. Also, be sure to keep the show simple and organized. If it gets to complex, you may loose the attention of your audience, and if you have to take a break because your disorganized you are also more likely to loose the attention of your audience. Confidence and practice is also a must will small children when performing your tricks; they will be the first to point out that you did something wrong or try to explain how you did your trick. You are the magician, they are the observers.
