I need help with a School show coming up.

Hi Everyone!
I have a School show on the 2nd March, and I have all the tricks and Illusions planed. But I dont know really what to say when I start off. I have done shows to young kids, like 6-9, but these are like 11-13?

What can I say, and how can I introduce myself and the different things?

Thanks
Jack x

Don't patronize them. That's important. I'm not sure what your style is, but I would go for more visual effects rather than any sort of mind reading or psychic/psychological presentations.

Understand that 13 year olds are already quite intelligent, but they still enjoy some physical humor.

If you think you can get away with it (from the teachers), I'm sure they would LOVE for you to slip in a moderate curse word. Obviously, not something like the C or F words, but something along the lines of BS (without the abbreviation), at the right time, should play well.

I'm just trying to think of what I would have liked in 8th grade...
