Since I've been hanging around here, there has been a huge improvement in my performances. Can I share the latest with you please?

It was a typical event. A family party for a 6 year old grandson. He wanted to be my assistant. I decided to play the part of a boastful wizard, for whom everything went wrong, and everything my assistant did went perfectly.

I started with 4 sheets of 3ftx2ft mdf leaning against a wall, and apologising that I couldn't find the birthday boy, so had to start without him. Used the four sheets to make a box in which the birthday boy appeared. He played the part perfectly, surprising the adult members of the audience as well as the other youngsters. Without boring you with all the details, typical of what I did was to use an egg bag to try and produce an egg to be used in Bish, Bash, Bosh. I failed. He asked to have the bag, and produced an egg. So that was the general theme.

It was great fun, and everyone seemed to enjoy it. Thanks everyone for your input during the planning phase, and for the inspiration which helped me raise my game from doing a series of tricks to doing a magic show. Big difference!

Congratulations! First, last and always we are entertainers. What people remember is how we made them feel.

Great to hear !
It's always good to read about another success story.
Thanks much for sharing your story and keep up the good work.

That sounds really fun for him, getting to be the hero and all. I have a 5 year old, so I might have to work a show where she does the same. Great idea.

Did you wear a wizard costume or something similar?

Thanks guys.
@Zaose. No, I just wore a very small star on my shirt, and explained that I wore it because I was the star of the show. When my assistant appeared from the box, he was wearing a wizard costume with huge stars on it. The audience drew their own conclusions.
