Greetings Jeff,

There is a thread here on the Café where magi are discussing fitting an entire show in a pencil box. I was wanting to ask, if you had to fit a 30 minute show for a younger audience in a pencil box what would you choose?

The original thread is at http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......forum=17 and I thought it was a wonderful concept.

Greetings sibbie,

I carry over an hour of material in the pouch on my belt. The materials I carry can play for adults or children and can easily be seen by about 100 people. I explore many of the techniques I use and the tricks I perform on Magic At The Edge. http://www.yourmagic.com/catalog/product......s_id=209

I do not use a pencil box, I use a zipper hard shell glass case. This case clips to my pod belt so I can have it with me at all times. Also a magician who works at their craft needs only a deck of cards to entertain a family audience. I have seen Juan Tamariz rock the house at a family show in Peru. He had only a pack of cards and performed for one hour. The children, their parents, and the magicians were enthralled with his amazing performance...there were over 1000 people in the hall. He filled the entire theater with laughter and wonder. He even had left over space in his pencil case for pencils...imagine that!

I also talk about my philosophy of "The Commando Show" in this thread: http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......um=267&3

Less is more,
Jeff
