Information and know-how he now generously shares with readers of his new book, The Complete Magic Party.

A Complete Children's Magic
Show and Much, Much More!
Compiled, updated and re-written from two, now classic Mark Leveridge books on entertaining children; The Complete Magic Party teaches you everything you need to know about the fun and lucrative "games and magic party" entertainiment field. Yes, it's magic, but it's also much more. The result is a complete entertainment solution for children's events that will let your bookers relax; while you take over with a fun-filled show of music, magic, games, prizes and others exciting activities.

Sections include…

Advice
There are major chapters of PROFESSIONAL ADVICE on understanding the modern child, on how to exercise control over your young charges, on how to organize yourself in terms of taking bookings and providing good backup paperwork, on advertising, plus a whole range of other business aspects of being a paid children's performer.

Games
Mark gives you a thorough overview of how to present games in a fun and commercial way with all the main principles of running games being covered. Providing games at a party enables you to provide more at your bookings and thus achieve higher fees when you work. There are also over 40 GAMES AND ACTIVITIES detailed which cover all ages up to about 10. There are even four pre-show activities described that will help assure a smooth start to the party.

Warm-ups
Preparing your audience well at the very outset of your show helps them to enjoy what you do to the full, and this section talks about how to get your young audience into the right frame of mind at the start of your performance and why it is so important. Mark also details 10 WARM-UPS that he has used in his own shows; two of which are published here for the first time.

Magic
Mark's approach to magic for children has always been to minimize the props and maximize the entertainment. His magic is often based on tricks more usually presented to adults but to which a presentation suitable for children has been added. There are 20 MAGIC ROUTINES fully described. Keep in mind, these are not just presentations for dealer type effects that you need to purchase before you proceed. Rather they utilize standard props you probably already have on hand or can easily obtain. Mark also includes full instructions for two children's routines currently sold separately in his catalogue, plus a couple of other effects which were not in his original books.

Effects include: Ropey Rope, Muscles, The Money Bottle, Hanky Juggling, Animal Antics, Favourite Characters, The Magic Word Tester, Mr. Rose’s Balloons, The Department Store, The Invisible Tying Silks, Droodles, 1-2-3 Jumbo Cards Across, The Houdini Hanky, The Flying Coin, DIY, Gnashers, Prize Winner, Coin And Hanky Opener, Hunt The Ice Cream, The Magic Shoe Lace, and The Count Down Pack Up.

A Blueprint to Success
In summary, Mark shares with you all of the information you need to plan, practice, market and present a successful games and magic party. A wonderful show format that offers little ones what they really want - amazing magic combined with more fun! As a result, you'll be in a position to command higher fees; as well as increase repeat bookings and referrals.

Whether you're a seasoned pro or a newcomer to the field, you'll benefit from this comprehensive guide and Mark's 30-plus years of professional experience.
