My cousin was over today and her children wanted to see some tricks, however the tricks I have aren't really childrens tricks...

Anyway, I did shake out and blanked for my cousin and her husband, and then card-toon, kids kards, white bikes and play it straight for her children, and they really loved it! It was really enjoyable being able to entertain them and seeing them get excited, it is also MUCH less stressful than performing for adults

Just thought I would share my experience, if you are lacking confidence, practice some simple tricks in front of children first! It's great!

The whole reason I took an interest in magic. It's even better knowing that their minds are still open to the fact it's a real magical event* taking place.

*Not that it isn't, of course, but adults are a bit more cynical.

Performing for one or two kids may be less stressful, especially family. But performing for a room full of screaming, hyped up on sugar, partying kids is a totally different ball game. Just a thought for anybody considering working with kids.


That said my friends son is 5 and its lots of fun showing him simple sleights which he thinks is real magic
