FUNNY TRICKS WITH CLEVER BITS - John Breeds

FUNNY TRICKS with CLEVER BITS by John Breeds includes the core routines, prop gags and effects from John's lifetime of entertaining children with laughter.

Starting with the most complete exploration of the classic 'Silver Sceptre' ever committed to print; another classic 'The Miser's Dream' gets a complete, refreshed overhaul.

One of John's standout comedy props when he was a noted dealer, 'Don't Ring That Bell' is here simplified and explained in full, along with a different play-let 'All Aboard' that will generate mayhem onstage; in complete contrast there's the utterly charming 'I Wish, I Wish Competition'.

Also John's compete reworking of Kovari's 'Dimishing & Enlarging Gloves'; possibly John's favourite in the booklet is the simplest: his routine for 'T & R Tissue'; 'Kids Comic Cuts' is pure farce with a haircut!

Threaded throughout the material like a skein of gold is every inside track on making these routines REALLY come alive: making the props, handling, ideas, gags and kicker finishes galore.
