PERFORMANCE MAGIC DAY

Have been putting this together over the last few weeks with a good friend and we've decided that It's about time we shared with everyone what we think makes a good children's entertainer. We will be discussing everything at the day from finding a character, insurance, good advertising and giving away our whole acts that we've been using for the past 20/25 years from funny lines, why we use certain props, how to create added laughter & tension to your show, why the flow of a show is very important and everything else to help others make a success of being the best children's entertainer possible. This is the very quick advert that we've come up with to promote the days at Blackpool next weekend and if you have any questions then please fire away & we'll try to answer them for you.

sounds fab Graham. we'll have a chin wag at Blackpool!

WOW - that is a must - I will at one of them if at all possible.

Hope you get good feedback from Blackpool

Ok how much and when I need to block the day out on my diary and to start saving this is just what I need.

As yet nothng is fixed or confirmed but we are looking at around £110 for the whole day on the early bird special and £150 after. The day will be limited to a maximum of 20 people with refreshment and lunch provided.
This is only the cost of an average one hour magic party and Mike & I will be giving away over 50 years worth of experience and
our actual acts that we use everyday with all the patter, bits of business & funny lines thrown in.

Still good value though

I can't make Blackpool but I'm keen to do this day.  I suspect you might have demand for more than 2 events Graham!  Please keep me informed.  Cheers Will

Looks like we will go ahead with the first date on Wed 17th June in Banstead.
Have already videod the first act and written out the first 20 mins of act one and have to say that I'm really enjoying putting this all together

The day is now all confirmed for Wed 17th June, the hall is booked. My act been videod and the scripts, patter are being prepared.
The cost for the day will be £110 for the early bird special and we are having a maximum of 20 people at the day to keep it small, intimate & personal.

Graham - would this possibly be done via filming - to put on DVD for us 'fans' across the ocean?  I would be very interested.

Hello
Im Mike, alias Micky the Magician and I will be hosting the Magic and Entertaining Day with Graham. (With his skills, and my good looks, this will be a fun day.)
I have been performing childrens magic since I was 16, Im now 50, and feel I have a great deal of experience to impart to newcomers, and established performers,  to this fun and lucrative field of magic.
I have known Graham for years, hes been like a father to me, and we have often got together to develop routines and ideas.
I know the training day will have loads of important information, and will be an ideal springboard for potential entertainers. Having developed the plan of the day with Graham, I wish such an in depth course had been around when I was starting out.
Miss this at your peril!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Respond with your thoughts please, although I wont hear them , so use the forum too.
See you on the day, and remember, there's only 20 places.

Aaaagghhh I I I I want. This sounds & looks like just what I need. I hope I will get to go on it.

£150 for a 1hr party? Mmmm. Maybe i should  put my prices up a bit then. :twisted:
