I´ve heard that there is a source of routine ideas or examples of kid show routines for magicians. It should be a great listing. Do you know the book or an online source for this?

Martin,

There is a lot here on the Magic Café. As for routine ideas, after checking them out, there is everything that David Ginn has written, Samual Patrick Smith, and Steve Taylor. (They also created their original kid's magic) Much has been said about these three in this secion if one looks or searches. (Also check out the Archives)

There are the six Kid Stuff books by Francis Marshall with "Kid Stuff Five" being the most popular. And, then there are the little known, "can't find", Mortimore booklets.

Karl Wagner printed "Safety Magic for Children"

There are a couple of dozen other books and booklets related to Kid's Magic, Such as those by Eric Sharp, and Dave Fiscus

Bert Easley has some nice information put out on books as well.

Martin, don't forget Silly Billy's column every month in MAGIC magazine.

Silly Billy's "How to Perform the Perfect Kids Routine" is a great book. This will help you write your own routines.

I second Bill's praise for Silly Billy's Perfect Kid Show Routine. It's got a great check list in the back that helps you improve any routine, I think, for any audience. Dennis turned me on to this book and it's great.
