I started kidshows when I was 11. The audience depends on what you think you can handle. My first show was for adults and kids ages 4-9. You have to experiment with different age groups in order to perfect your show for each one. (Because little kids won't get big kid jokes/magic, and big kids won't like little kid jokes/magic).
once you perfect your show so that it is compatible with different age groups each time, you should be good to go. Really the age of kids you want to perform for is up to you. (that is if you only want to perform for a set age.) |

Throw your self in at the deep end, you will learn fast. I was doing kids shows for 2 years with no help from anyone, sure I had mentors but at that time they wern't kids entertainers. After 2 years of performing I went to a kids lecture and I noticed that all the principals taught like look don't see, magician in trouble ect where things that I had developed on my self accord. You will learn fast, pay attention to your audience keep track of what worked, what didn't work be orginaland creative, I don't reccomend buying books with set routines to start of with. Just buy the props and think of creative ideas and if you can't give us a shout on the Café and I'm sure as a group we can help the brainstorming.
when you say what age can you perform for the answer is any. new born babies are a tad hard! teenagers arn't that hard, as a teenager I find it really fun, as long as I'm not doing a kids show to them that is! Keep with it, all the best Matt |
