Magician find fantastic methods to entrain children, but they are good! Really good. No fillers here. The routines in this book are terrific. Any one of them can become a feature in your show. Christopher understands how kids think, what makes them laugh, and how to keep them entertained!\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003cb\u003eFrom the Foreword by David Kaye\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo, Christopher T. Magician took the kid show and family show scene by storm with his first book, Beyond Look, Don't See: Furthering the Art of Children's Magic. Now, ten years on, he’s back with a sequel that’s bigger and better (and probably has more glitter).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBEYOND Beyond Look, Don't See\u003c\/b\u003e is a treasure trove of 826 pages packed with a decade's worth of Christopher's magic wisdom. With 26 brand new kid show techniques like Let's Practice, Fallout, The Pop-Out, Add Mentalism, Shrink Vanish, Miscall, and more, you can bet they’ll elicit giggles and gasps from the little ones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach chapter comes with two fully-scripted, side-splitting routines that show just how effortlessly these techniques can blend with classic magic. Get ready for some proper laughs!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRoutine highlights include:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Yellow\" to \"Red.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e Christopher’s take on the classic Colour-Changing Silks starts with a yellow silk boasting the word \"Yellow.\" After a few failed attempts to change it to red, the audience is in for a surprise when the word itself changes! And just when they think that’s it, the yellow silk does its magic trick too, resulting in uproarious shouts from the crowd.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Disastrous Ropes.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e After honing this classic Ropes through Body routine in hundreds of shows, Christopher has sorted out the usual issues while packing it with sight gags that’ll have adults chuckling and kids squealing. Two ropes penetrate a child helper … or do they? (Spoiler: they do, but not without some confusion!).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"The Pop-Out Card.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e Picture this: an empty envelope suddenly produces a birthday card that pops up without the magician even noticing. All you need is a few crafty supplies to whip up this clever prop.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Snake Snack.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e Christopher takes magic baking to a whole new level (like, way on steroids). Instead of a cake, a Spring Snake magically appears, and the audience keeps throwing multiple snakes at the magician instead of cake. Because why not? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike the original, each chapter is peppered with multiple Take It and Run with It ideas, showcasing the versatility of each technique. While not fully-fledged routines, these concepts are perfect for any magician to grab, run with, and transform into a classic kid show routine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn between the techniques, Christopher throws in some Spotlight chapters. These aren’t just any old tips; they focus on the broader aspects of performing for kids. Spotlight chapters include:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"But Grownups Laugh Too.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e Christopher reveals his secrets for keeping the adults entertained during kid shows … without losing the kids (because we all know they can be a tough audience!).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Magician Control.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e A no-nonsense chat about Kid Control that redefines how magicians should handle behavioural hiccups during a show. Not for the faint-hearted!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"The Family Show: A Perilous Tightrope.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e Contrary to popular belief (and the advice of your well-meaning aunt), kid shows are not family shows. Christopher digs into the differences between audiences and explains how to keep both entertained without losing your marbles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you care about the quality of your performance (and let’s be honest, you should), then BEYOND Beyond Look, Don't See is an absolute must-have for any kid show performer’s library.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christopher Barnes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56477063545156,"sku":"BEYONDLOOK2","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/1826\/4644\/files\/75789-full_0302d7f3-cc84-46bf-9c3b-2080ad081a6f.png?v=1778670405","url":"https:\/\/www.handpickedmagic.com\/products\/beyond-beyond-look-dont-see-by-christopher-barnes-book-1","provider":"Hand Picked Magic ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
