If you are going to Kidabra I guarantee a highlight will be John Kimmons' new lecture.

The one he gave on Tuesday at Trix In The Stix, now affectionately known as T.I.T.S. The get-together for children's entertainers organized by Practical Magic of the U.K.

John's lecture contained tons of practical advice, including a section on how to deal with noisy parents. Also some solid routines, including, what for me was the highlight, The Race - a solid ten minute routine based on a close-up trick but amplified to play for much larger audiences, jam-packed with fun and audience participation.

John's lecture notes are the best produced notes I have ever seen for any magic lecture and come with a CD-ROM containing all the artwork necessary for the routines he teaches.

As Brendan Byrne pointed out on Tuesday, John finished his lecture to weak applause and empty seats. Why? They were all queueing for the notes.

Agreed!

If you can't wait for John's notes he has put up a link to buy them:

Looking forward to it! See you in August!

T.I.T.S.?

Come on kids, Daddy wants to go hear a lecture on T.I.T.S! LOL

Danny:

I thought that was funny as heck...especially in a forum for kidshow performers! LOL.

I guess you could sat the T.I.T.S lecture keeps you "abreast" of the latest information!

After considerable thought, I think the lecture might be a booby-trap.

I'm gonna miss the the convention this year...and this lecture as well. Makes me a little MELON-choly.

Good one. Lol

Yes I have to say Kimmos Lecture was brilliant. Ive made the race game up and also mad a Halloween Race game as well based on this principal. The games you can do are endless. I also mad a Christmas one up. Get John Kimmons lecture notes. The best ones Ive seen and mine were great so these are BRILL.

See you all at Kidabra 2013
