DESCRIPTION
If you use audience participation in your show, this unique book offers a wealth of ideas, advice, insights, and even some very good lines. It covers many of the classic gags and bits of business used successfully by generations of magicians, as well as offbeat ideas you can use when working with both kids and adults. Perhaps most important of all, it will help you spot comedy situation opportunties in your own act when they occur. As the author states in the closing paragraph, "We guarantee the funniest things in your show will be those you hit upon suddenly, used, found good, and then developed into the show as a regular item. Read this book for ideas, start to use those that appeal to you, then adjust them to suit you, your kind of audience, your kind of magic. With the ideas of this book in mind, you will know what to watch for as you work, you will know how to listen for the best laughs. Eventually, you will be a funny man, too, in your own way. That is the ONLY way." 58 pages, re-typeset.
