Please don't tell me off for promoting my own product but if you are interested in a totally different ending to the colouring book routine, please take a look at mine. The helper takes home a signed picture at the end of the routine.It uses A4 paper but the paper is available to you guys in the states from Staples.

Ah! The Magic Colouring Book! I have done David Ginn's handling, Silly Billy's, Danny Orleans. They are all great. All I can say is try different ways to present it, them add some of yourself to the routine and put your own personality into the presentation. I add bits of business that I create myself and that's what makes it fun! The Colouring book is one of my favourite props to use in a Magic Show. However, remember that it is a prop. What you do with it and your presentation can make this a smash hit in your Show!

Since this is an older thread that has been resurrected, it's worth mentioning now that there are many more options of Magic Colouring Books (Magic Coloring Books) beyond the popular Royal Magic version.

Jim Kleefeld offers over a dozen different versions, and keeps releasing more.

Plus there are other types out there, too, that I've mentioned on other threads.

Fielding West had a really funny alteration to the coloring book, and hilarious patter, but it's most definitely not suitable for children...
