Magic Tricks

No doubt Danny is a good childrens entertainer, yet there was little evidence in the form of routines shown in this lecture. He spent most of the lecture talking about his stickers/ which was a 5 minute discussion at most plus spent lots of wasted time with handing out cards with prewritten questions, which he than repeated again after it had read clearly by an audience member and than had the audacity to say what a great question. Very annoying and a waste of time. For a lecture that ran 3.5 hours, it could have been reduced to a 45minute lecture and not much would have been lost. There was only one stage\show routine discussed which was a coloring book routine, which was okay but nothing earth shattering. Just the fact that he used a set of nesting wands made from PVC pipes and let them drop on the floor as part of the routine is a bit ludcricous. Any person who performs in peoples homes or schools would never drop such things on the floors, since there would be dents and other damage to the floor. Absolutely a prop that should never be used in such a manner. The only other effects he taught were store bought magic effects and just explained the handling / no new routine ideas and not very appropriate for a childrens entertainer. Danny has some good ideas on handling kids and even a few marketing tips, but overall this lecture lacked performing material and a lot of time was set aside to market his other videos. Much better childrens entertainer videos out on the market. CJ Johnson has a great school video, as does Tommy James with his birthday party videos and there are many more. Save your money and invest in those / learn a lot more great effects and also see good live performances by professionals.
