In this book you will learn how to effectively combine the humour and funny antics of clowning with the thrill and enchantment of magic. This is not simply a book about clowning, nor is it just a book of comedy magic tricks. It is a guide on how to be entertainingly funny using magical effects and offbeat stunts in a clownish way. All of the tricks and gimmicks described in this book are very simple to perform and can be learned in a few minutes. Most require absolutely no manipulative or slight-of-hand skill. The entertainment comes from the way the tricks are presented and not from the tricks themselves. Subjects covered include: how to mix clowning and magic, creating laughter, working with children, comedy warm-ups, audience participation techniques, magical fun with kids, covering mistakes, clown stunts, silly close-up gags, running gags, walking around clowning, birthday party stunts, clown magic on stage, and more. The book is loaded with hundreds of tried and tested comedy effects with dozens of complete clown magic skits and routines.
