Magic Tricks

As a kids and family magician, I found this lecture to be great value. Three of these routines went straight into my current magic shows.
Fancy Ketchup - okay this initially appealled to me because I already owned everything needed for the routine(apart from the labels that Josh reccommends, which I have now bought and recommend), but I have found it to be a lot of fun,and the kids really get into it. Also a pretty quick reset.
Reactions - this is the emoji one, easy to do, packs small, fast reset. Audience enjoys playing along, reactions for the ending not always huge with the younger audiences but good with older kids and parents. It was suggested in the lecture that you could re-use the cards as "cue cards" later in your show, I have tried a little with mixed reactions but feel that could work well the more I use this.
Water Gun Roulette - this is the clear favourite with my audiences.I have put it into two shows and am loving it. Yes it takes longer to set up and definetly takes up some room, but has been well worth it for me. I also have added an extra water gun for swapping out at the end - when a child calls out I didn't get wet I go back behind my table, grab it and give them an extra squirt. To clarify I am in Australia in the middle of a hot Summer working at Holiday Parks with this, so getting kids wet hasn't been a problem for me. Not sure I will use this in winter? You would obviously have to assess your own situation and wether this routine would be practical for your shows.
In the future I will also try "Off the grid" which is the Magic Square trick, I believe that would get good reactions, but am yet to try it.
Josh was well presented very likeable and went into each trick with excellent detail.
I definetly have a different performing style to Josh and not every trick is one I will perform but having three go instantly into my current shows, blows me away and has been great value for money.
Really wish Penguin did more Family Magic Lectures.
Thanks Josh, loved the lecture
