Hey everyone!

Everyone here at Vanishing Inc. and AmazeKids are really excited to finally be able to share with you the new Kids Show Masterplan by Danny Orleans!
Image



We've worked so hard on this book and our goal was to try to make It become the modern-day guide to performing magic for children.





Combining his classroom experience as a preschool and kindergarten teacher with over 40 years of performing magic for children in schools, museums, libraries, private parties and theaters, Danny Orleans finally reveals his “Masterplan” on how to create and present a magic show for children.

Watch the accompanying video trailer as he introduces you to the book. With more than 180 pages and 150 full-color photos and diagrams, this hard-cover volume is filled with Danny's real-world experience. He takes a step beyond his critically acclaimed DVDs to share his theory, strategy and seven unpublished routines to help you build a successful kids show. Whether you’re just starting out, or you’re an experienced kid show pro, you’ll benefit from Danny’s extensive use of child-psychology, his approach to trick selection and his multiple examples on how to deal with any room setting to maximize the impact of your show.

In Kids Show Masterplan, Danny teaches you the psychological techniques he uses every time he does a kids show so you can effortlessly manage young children’s behavior. You’ll get practical solutions for your real-world challenges including…

Keeping kids seated
Getting and holding kids’ attention
Dealing with crying children
Choosing volunteers
Managing kids' disappointment
Controlling onstage helpers
Preventing kids from rushing the stage
Touching children appropriately
In addition, an entire chapter is dedicated to Danny’s Onsite Marketing Plan. It’s filled with low-cost and no-cost non-traditional ideas, many of which you can begin using immediately -- all designed to increase your bookings.

Danny Orleans’ credentials as an expert on performing magic for children are unrivaled: He's a former elementary school teacher who became a master kids show entertainer performing throughout North America. Just a few years ago he began to share his unique approach to working with children to the magic community. He's released two critically acclaimed DVD sets. With his performing partner, Jan Rose, he's lectured throughout the US, Canada, the United Kingdom and most recently, at the 2015 FISM convention in Italy.


Hope you enjoy!

Gerry,

I have had the book since it first came out. In my own personal opinion I think that this is one of the best books that have been written for a children's entertainer. And NO I do not get kickbacks from Vanishing Inc or Danny. And when I first met Danny a few years back when he was lecturing here in Michigan I really did not care for his lecture at all. It seemed to me to be rushed and that made me really not care for Danny or his work. But then I was told that the lecture that Danny had presented was only like his 3 or 4 lecture. So he just did not have the lecture down pat and he actually left his laptop at a Bagel shop that he had to retrieve the next day.

As far as the book is concerned and my views on Danny, there are BOTH great. And I will be the first one to say that I very rarely ever recommend a product or book to anyone unless it is really, really good. I highly recommend you to purchase this book. The only other children's book that I gave high fives to were Silly Billy's book when it came out. However, in my opinion this book that Danny has out is even better.

Any questions please feel free to PM me.

Sounds great. Does it transcend the US market? ie - does the info in the book carry over well into the UK scene? I would imagine it does, but just checking Smile

Danny offered a free ebook called "The Kid Show Masterplan" at one time, through the AmazeKids website. It has 93 pages (including cover, etc.)

Is this an expanded version that's in print?

Are the free samples now on the website, just portions of the new expanded version?

- Donald

P.S. I wasn't in the free ebook version, but I had shared some materials with Danny. Someone mentioned today that I'm mentioned in the expanded print version.

I have known Danny since "forever". I've seen him work (on a gym floor in a school!)

I like what he does, and how he does it. "It aint so much WHAT ye do, as HOW ya do it"!

It's has about 190 pages, but it has a lot of tricks that I think, nobody would do and they took a lot of pages!

I think it's an excellent book and for the price, everyone dealing with kids should get it. I don't know how different is from that ebook that you mention, but I have bought the actual book so maybe pm any doubts and I will get back to you

Ordered a few days ago, so excited to dig in. I work at a daycare/school, I used to work in a psych facility with pediatrics and adults so close up has always been a thing for me, a full kids show has not, very excited to see what I can learn about this topic.

Blindside, if you can also pick up Silly Billy's book. It is phenomenal and you'll learn a lot about child psychology.

I'm talking about Seriously Silly, not his recent book which I haven't read.

His most recent book is the same... tons to learn about the psychology aspect, only it is explored through many different routines. Excellent book.
