I am a specialist in the Jobs for America's Graduats program working with students at risk of dropping out of high school. I use magic to deliver lessons and keep the attention of students who are traditionally underachieve academically. I would love suggestions for routines to deliver messages of hope, success, overcoming barriers to success, and other positive motivation. Since I am creatively challenged, I need to beg borrow and steal from those who already developed some of these ideas.

Also, I found an online store that showed video of tricks offered for sale but failed to record the name of that site. It offered for sale a magic wand trick where the tips came off completely and would get restored. I haven't found that exact wand on any other site. The video of the routine was very funny but I lost the site before I could order. If you know of that site, please let me know.

Looking forward to sharing here. Sounds great!!

Magic Magazine features a monthly feature on using magic in the classroom. There is a thread devoted to that magazine here.

Welcome!

Welcome jeff boren,

I couldn't help but notice, you spelled graduates wrong LOL.

Sorry I don't know the name of the effect you seek but good luck in your job. It sounds like good work.
