| settling down for the show after games |
 |
| The Light Party theme for the year was "Under the Sea" |
 |
| One of my favourite opening games that I had not done for 2 years |
 |
| Using my magic box that stores my magic for a show and doubles as a table and a close up mat if needed |
 |
| due to time constraints, I cut out a few effects. |
 |
| This is the part I love the most - picking a volunteer :-) |
 |
| I love this part too when I somehow "escape" after "messing up" :-) |
 |
| decided to add on to my cups and water trick with balloons |
 |
| Teaching how to make a simple balloon octopus |
 |
| Yeah! Nothing popped :-) |
 |
| Still surprises me how many children want to volunteer despite the fact that they could get very wet because they want a nice balloon sculpture |
 |
| Part two of the trick |
 |
| Setting up my version of a new trick added to my routine learnt from a fellow magician Keith (from IBM 160) |
 |
| audience participation to make sure I don't "cheat". |
 |
| I like the concept of choosing a random volunteer with a balloon. The revelation of my prediction ... which is later shown to be woefully "wrong" |
 |
| My fellow magician Francis Wee (just turned seven) who comes up to rescue me and try to fix my embarrassing mistake |
 |
| And Francis does it and rescues me by producing MILK! Whew! I am glad to see this picture that the volunteer is happy as I remember he had a huge look of shock on his face when milk exploded from the can. he had patches of milk on his face and clothes. |
 |
| One of my favourites - the production of jelly beans that also with a fire safety message built in |
 |
| Teaching my adult volunteer how to use the safety lighter |
 |
| A bit of fire always gets a good response :-) |
 |
| And tadah .... |
 |
| I changed my "teach a trick" effect with a surprise ending this year. Very visual and I can pass out mini versions :-) |
favorite part of my too-few visits with you and jennifer: learning some secrets to some tricks!! hahaha.....how did u know that if u didn't share them with me i wldn't be able to sleep at night???
ReplyDelete"watcha talking about Z"? (said in the manner of the late Gary Coleman) We magicians never reveal secrets to non magicians!
ReplyDeleteSo I don't get raked over the coals by my fellow magicians, Z has been very helpful buying me magic related things, and is very discreet (at least about the secrets :-))so ... a little leeway is acceptable. LOL
i still have a US 2-dollar coin that you wanted.....i know i have it, i just don't know where i've put it, hahaah!!
ReplyDeleteyeah, secrets are safe with me because i forget them five minutes after hearing them.
Z ... $$ in my eyes :-)Hope you do find the elusive disappearing coin
