My 9 year old son has seen me going out and doing my close up gigs since he was able to walk.
He's always been interested in getting the applause (chip of the old block), but hasn't quite shown the apptitude for actually practicing very much. (That's fine, its what 9 year olds do, and god forbid he should actually follow me into this profession!) However, this week I showed him Lance Burton and he is suddenly (and possibly momentarily) really interested in doing a dove act!!! I don't want to buy an aviary at the weekend, but does the crowd have any suggestions as to what he might be able to start trying, manipulation wise, that is practical and will show him a possible road to his candle-to-dove dream. Being a card man, its beyond my base skills. Thanks for your time. |

Sponge balls? sponge rabbets? possible get him a feathered phony dove and make/use, a 'devils hank'to make it vanish (?) appear (?) -9 years old - it maybe as you said momentarily - encourage, but don't push. rr

A dove pan, to produce a rubber chicken, for starters?
For a supernatural chiller mixing magic (prestidigitation, legerdemain) with Magic (occultism, mysticism), check out my novel MAGIC: AN OCCULT THRILLER at http://www.amazon.com/Magic-Occult-Thriller-Reed-Hall/dp/1453874836

If you're set on using an animal, Gary Darwin has a couple of great ideas for simple routines with a pet mouse in his DVD "My First Magic DVD".
You can pick up this DVD as a free download from Penguin Magic here: https://www.penguinmagic.com/p/3134 Gary's video is especially geared towards kids and young magicians. The time on the video where you'll find the section dealing with the mouse is as follows: 1:34:03 Live Animal Magic - Mouse/Dove from Tissue Box (1:35:27) - Mouse From a Sheet of Paper (1:36:55) - Vanishing Mouse (1:37:57) - Flip-Over Box of Mystery (1:40:00) |
