To add a few more in the mix, I have a couple of training programmes available:

- "Become a Children's Entertainer" - aimed at the complete beginner.
- Wizard School (magic class) training - ideal for school holidays
- Maths & Magic Workshop (aimed at students aged 9-11)

(And all of these programmes include me speaking with an authentic English accent!)

Details can be found online at http://www.entertainertrainer.co.uk/

Kind regards,
Mike

My favs are Silly Billy, Chris Capehart, Great Zucchinni, Oscar Munoz, and Terry Herbert

Just an update that my Wizard School and Maths & Magic Workshop training are no longer available to purchase.
My training for complete beginners is now available to view online. There are also a few free resources to download/listen to.

Yeah, so I happen to have the Seriously Silly DVD in my laptop at the moment - I really need to get the book! But I am looking at the crazy red pants, the giant yellow glasses, and Silly Billy is sucking on a baby bottle...genius ha ha.

Ok, seriously, this stuff is gold, man

Yes indeed. I could highly recommend Jolly Roger's "Merry Mayhem and Magic" DVD!!! You can find how to order it if you scroll down on this link: http://comicmagician.com/page_childrens_products.html You can also check out a video on there which shows you a few clips of what is on the DVD.

I see a few are blowing their own trumpet so why not even a new kid on the block. If you are looking for downloadable handouts to put your details on I have a magic trick brochure and certificates. They come in Adobe Illustrator and are easy to edit for your favourite printer. I get thousands printed very cheaply and delivered to my door. Kids and parents love them. See them at www.handoutmagic.com
Hope this is helpful. I developed them cos I needed such items and could not find relevant ones otherwise. They are based on many public domain tricks. Cheers,Paul

Just finished a great new book by UK Kidshow Pro John Breeds - Lotz of Magic For Kidz. This is a tome! Dozens of funny routines, great new ideas, lots of material in both trick methods and routining. Tons of advice from a top entertainer who really knows what he is talking about. There are lots of instructions for making some very cool props if you are into that sort of thing, but better yet, a lot of great tidbits of advice on how to make magic funny and how to treat children. I'm giving it my highest recommendation. With Lotz of Magic for Kidz, Paths to Enchantment, Seriously Silly and my own Kidshow Matters, you can carve out a career for yourself.

Thank you for your kind words Jim. So glad you liked my new book.
