Review
This is actually two books... "Doing Magic For Youngsters" by Bert Easly & "The Art of Conjouring to Children" By Eric P Wilson
The 1st part is your basic "Perfom like this to kids" & "Here is the routine I've been using for years... please feel free to use it )but you'll have to purchase these products 1st)
The 2nd part is why I actually bought the book... Eric P Wilson goes into some of the finer details of why he performs the tricks WHEN he does (i.e. he has a specific order for the tricks) eg. 1 Something to get there attention 2. A trick for the Girls (but something the boys'll enjoy aswell) 3. A sucker gag (to quieten any hecklers) 4. A trick for the boys (but something the girls'll enjoy aswell) etc.
He then lists a complete 1hr show and includes instructions on how to build the props (This is the 1st time I've seen this, most kids magic books are like the 1st part of this book) & all of the Equipment needed to build the props is available at your local Hardware/Stationary/Art store

Overall

If your starting out in kids magic (like me) then this is a great way to get a decent show you & running without too much expenditure on your part, then once the money is rolling in you can move onto bigger & more expensive props (but personally I don't think you will)
