Light Party 2011 magic show at KCC
Some photos of parts of my magic show performed for our church's Light Party 2011. Thanks Liann for taking these photos!
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 |
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
