CHILDREN LAUGH LOUDER by DAVID GINN
By the summer of 1978 David Ginn's first major textbook on magic., Professional Magic for Children, was already in its second printing, and David had completed an 18-city USA lecture tour featuring material from his shows and books. He finished that tour with an August lecture at Abbott's Get-Together, the month that Children, Laugh, Louder actually appeared in print.
"If I had waited two years longer before publishing Professional. Magic for Children," says David, "these magic routines might have been a part of that book. Yes, PMC could have been 400 pages long!" But some of this material still needed polishing through live performances, and that David did in school shows all over his home State of Georgia.
Out, of print for nearly la years, Children Laugh Louder is now back with some of David Ginn's best routines: the Color Changing Shoelaces, Silk Illusion, Popaway Wand, Comedy Bits with Audience Helpers, Trap Door, Magic Words, Purple Puppy Chow, Dog By That Name, Bowing Contest, Shooting Card Trick, Wilting Flower, Ali Bongo Monster Hat, Freaky's Terror, and the classic Charlie's Invisible Message.
BONUS DVD included: Before anyone was aware of the impact of video, a magician taped David's "50 Ways to Make Children Laugh" lecture in Schenectady, New York, in June of 1978, and gave David a copy. This 27-year old tape, featuring many of the Children, Laugh Louder routines, is now a two-hour DVD and appears in a pocket inside this book. ENJOY!
Over 8500 copies in print!
Magician-Author David Ginn has written over 75 published books, tapes, and videos on entertaining children. and family audiences.
