Most books on performing magic for children center on the question, "What
can we do to entertain children?" This book approaches the problem from
the opposite end. "What do children need to be entertained?" By centering
on the children's requirement, rather than on our own, an understanding is created
from which all questions about performing magic for children are easily answered.
In this landmark book, the authors - both specialists in early childhood education
and professional magicians - provide expert guidance on how to develop a performing
persona and an act suitable for children. In addition, they provide an enormous
amount of practical advice on topics ranging from how to pace an act to how
to prevent children from storming the stage.
