STAND-UP MAGIC FOR KIDS by BILL ABBOTT
Bill Abbott has entertained audiences across North America and Western Europe with the magic on this DVD for over 19 years. Now you can experience the original, magical, and very funny stand-up magic for kids that Bill has honed through years of tough experience. This DVD was recorded at a resort in front of a live audience witness material that was developed in the trenches of the birthday party circuit and perfected in tours across Canada and the United Kingdom. These routines have the practicality and the versatility that have lasted almost two decades of solid performances. Beyond the performances are the careful details that make up the construction, set-up, and delivery of each of these treasured routines.
Performed and Explained on this DVD are...
The Sponge Snack - when touring across Canada Bill performed this silent opener 110 times in 90 days! Develop an instant rapport with audiences with this humorous routine that non-verbally communicates that your show will be fun, magical, and full of surprises.
The Thing - Practical, one-man levitations are few and far between. Bill has created a reputation-making miracle that can be performed ANYWHERE. From the smallest living room to the largest theatre stage to the most stringent street conditions. The Thing can float in any performing situation with your audience viewing from any angle.
Chico the Mind Reader - For those who have witnessed a performance of Chico know the revelation of this routine is worth the price of the DVD. Bill has booked more shoes from this one routine than any other in his repertoire. The explanation segment is a virtual course in the creation, development, and performance of your own original puppet routine. Included are two bonus routines and additional ideas for both family and adult audiences.

The 'Bill Switch' is one of the most coveted effects of both walk-around and stage magicians - if you already use it, you know how powerful it is. The effect is sensational! And now, thanks to Kevin King's Money Morph Video, it's EVEN BETTER!
With your sleeves rolled up, your hands clearly empty, you borrow a bill. As you slowly fold and then unfold the bill, it visibly changes into an entirely different bill!
Imagine the possibilities - turn a bill inside out or change a one-dollar bill into a hundred! Using his critically acclaimed handling, Kevin King will show you how to make the Bill Switch absolutely seamless. Unlike previous techniques, Kevin's switch makes it appear as though you are morphing one bill into another. There's no pause at the critical moment where the actual switch takes place. I've 'switched' over to Kevin's technique - it's clearly a significant improvement over the original.
So whether you're learning for the first time or just want to improve your existing switch, allow Kevin to teach you his revolutionary technique, step by step - with all the subtleties. You'll be changing bills faster than they can print 'em!
