Just when you thought David Ginn had said all he could say about entertaining children with magic, he brings this new ook of 544 pages and 900 photos.
Kidshow Magic Kompendium has been three years in preparation, and is absolutely packed with fun and funny magic for children. You will find 130 audience-tested routines, deviced into 13 chapters:
16 comedy warm-ups, visual magic to music explained, how to work pre-schools, plus tricks with one or two children, as well as groups on stage. There are chapters of magic for older kids and close-up tricks for children too. David spends one chapter addressing using adults on stage with full routines kids love, and he spends the final chapter discussing ways to close your children‘s shows.
Woven into every part of this massive volume are stories and history surrounding the tricks and routines. You will learn where David acquired the props, ideas, and methods he hasused, plus how he adapted them to create theme shows. You will also read biographical details of his growing up in magic, which helps everything in the book make sense.
Plus there is a full, complete 14-page index! In the 20+ pages after that last chapter. You will read about Harold Taylor, Fantasio, Doug Henning, Bev Bergeron, John Booth, Edwin Hooper, Ian Adair, Gene Gordon, Duke Stern, Billy McComb, Sammy Smith, Steve Taylor, Mark Tripp, Leon McBryde, Neil Young, and lots more.
YES, KMK is part history, part autobiography, and ALL KIDS MAGIC! Important: The First and ONLY Edition of Kidshow Magic Kompendium will consist of 1300 hardbound copies and will not be reprinted. We at Pegani have a long history with David Ginn, and are happy to be the only European distributor.
