If you are thinking of getting something magical for your kid this Christmas consider getting them the Amazing Magic Kit!  This is a magic kit that I sell over at www.AmazingMagicKit.com.

There’s a bit of a story behind why I sell this magic kit.  Basically I used to recommend this magic kit to parents when they would ask me what is a good magic kit. Then I started hearing that they were unavailable.  So I called the company that made them and found out there were going out of business and to make a long story short I bought the remaining stock to keep this magic kit available for kids to learn magic tricks from!

What sets this magic kit apart from all the other magic kits on the market is that this one comes with the “Kid’s Teaching Kid’s” DVD.  On this DVD a group of kids perform a magic show then teach all the tricks in the magic show.  This is not only fun for kids to watch, but it also makes learning easier because kids speak in a language that other kids understand!

Here’s a quick sample of the DVD:

The Amazing Magic Kit is normally $24.99,  right now is on sale for 10% off!  To order simply go to www.amazingmagickit.com!

Here’s the article from the Parent Map:

Activities For Kids

You don’t live in the Seattle area just to sit in the house all day. That would be silly. Instead, you take your kids camping, lead excursions to a farm to pick berries or pumpkins, and support an astonishing number of kids’ theater companies and story times. You explore every inch of the Puget Sound region with the kids in tow, and when it rains, you head in droves for indoor play spaces (’cause, well, you do live in Seattle).

Live Entertainment for Kids

Winner: Louie Foxx

You’ll find Louie “One Man Side Show” Foxx wowing audiences with his accomplished sleight of hand, humorous patter and other, more unusual tricks (duct tape, lassos, shadow puppets, anyone?) at locations all over the region. Foxx, a Guinness World Records holder, may not have the kind of brand recognition enjoyed by some of the other top picks, but you called his shows “humorous, inspiring for kids and magical.” One impressed parent said, “The kid is still talking about not only the show last week, but remembering the one from about three years ago! That is some impression making and long-term appreciation from a youngster.” And that is some endorsement.

Finalists:
While Louie pulled it out for the win, we’d be remiss in not mentioning a trio of hot kindie bands that put up a rockin’ good fight. The Not-Its! — with their pink-and-black costumes, jangly rock ’n’ roll guitar licks, and spare lyrics about traffic safety and getting older (turning 5, people) — get the preschool set up and dancing every time.

Caspar Babypants (aka Presidents of the United States front man Chris Ballew) infuses his shows with a childlike energy that little ones love, and his sweet-natured music is easy on the all-important adult ear: “Great music, catchy, and doesn’t drive adults crazy!”

Elementary schoolteachers turned kid rockers Recess Monkey display a “fun, happy, genuine interest in children” with their brilliant blend of musical and lyrical sophistication and goofy onstage antics.

Kids’ theater may be a little less raucous, but no less fun: SecondStory Repertory produces stellar kids’ shows in Redmond, many of them original musicals with book and lyrics by founding artistic director Stan Gill. Voters praise its “intimate theater setting, interaction between professional actors and the kids” and “wonderful series of performances.”

Finally, you gave kids’ theater company StoryBook Theater, which is affiliated with Kirkland’s Studio East, big praise for its humorous, fairytale-based musicals, saying that it “offers the perfect introduction to live theater. The shows are geared towards the under 10 set but older kids and adults love them as well. Kids get to participate and also can ask questions at the end.”

Also if you haven’t signed up for their newsletter it’s one of the best for things to do with kids around the Puget Sound!

If you are in the Puyallup / Edgewood / Milton area come out and see me perform at the Mt. View Community Center’s Back to School BBQ on Saturday 8/20/11 at 11am!  The show will be outside and you’ll get to see the outdoor version of my One Man Side Show:

This will be a fun show and a great time…plus there’s all sorts of back to school related things going on!   And as a bonus I’ll be debuting a new rope trick that I’ve been working on at this show:

Well not that rope trick, but my is still pretty cool!

Mark your calendars for this friday 8/19/11 because I’ll be the pre-movie entertainment for the Everett Cinema Under the Stars!  This is my third year performing my magic and comedy show at the Everett Cinema Under the Stars and this year I’m performing before Toy Story 3!

Recently my wife and I met Bobby Podesta who was one of the Animators on Toy Story 3. He answered a lot of questions about the animation process (which is way different than I thought!).  I haven’t seen this movie since I  met Bobby, so I’m excited to get to watch it again to see some of his work!

Here’s something new-ish from my show, I call it the Human Xylophone!

Getting six kids to play Beethoven’s Ode To Joy on Boomwhacker Tubes can be challenge sometimes, but these kids did a great job on the first try!

Hope you liked it!

From now until 8/15/11 if you call me to schedule a magic show taking place anytime the rest of this year or in 2012 I’ll donate 10% of my fee to the Parent Trust for WA Children!

All you have to do is mention this blog when you call me…it’s that easy to make a difference!

Also on November 5th, 2011 I’ll be performing some magic at the Mad Hatter Tea Party which is the Parent Trust’s annual auction!  The Mad Hatter Tea Party is a ton of fun for the entire family!

I just saw the cover of a book for professional magician that includes a trick that I invented!

The book is about how to  perform Mentalism for kids.  Mentalism is basically a trade name for fake mindreading or creating the illusion of reading someone’s mind. There’s been a lot of debate within the world of magicians as to how effective this type of magic is when performed for kids under about 10 years old.  Do the get the concept of mind reading or do they simply think the magician is guessing.

I’m one of the few magicians in the world that has come up with an effective way to present Mentalism for kids and one of the handful of those magicians selected to be a contributor to this book.  This is going to be a two volume series and I don’t know if my original creation will be in the first or second volume.

Unfortunately this book won’t be for sale to the general public, it’s intended for professional magicians only, so Amazon won’t be selling it.  However if you catch me doing a school assembly this year you’ll probably get to see what I contributed to this book!
