I'm sure this has been posted before, but what effects would you start teaching a 9 year old (with very small hands)? She has a extra small TT, and does vanishes. Thanks!
May the magic be with you!

If she is serious about doing magic I suggest some things that are technically easy but requires some thought about how to present it in a wonderous way.
Closeup: "Jumping Rubber Bands" A simple coin vanishes. "Bachelor's Needle" Rope/cord/shoelace. A no-sleight card trick. Here's some other discussions about teaching kids. http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......forum=17 http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......forum=41 http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......forum=17 http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......forum=17 http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......forum=17 Good Luck, |

I also highly reccomend the Mark Wilson Course in Magic that you can work with her on stuff. It is a great resource and I use it in my own SYM club in Philadelphia. You may want top check out if there is an SYM assembly near you.

My son is 7 and he does a 5 minute show with a vanishing ketchup bottle, twists a balloon flower, and closes with a pop eyed popper deck.
He is no Lance Burton but he is as cute as all get out. I'm contemplating teaching him the McCombical deck. The really cool thing for him and me is that I didn't show him tricks, I taught him a couple of routines, and he made some up on his own. At nine there is at a much higher degree of comprehension. You could probably teach your daughter some pretty cool stuff. After she understands the presentation of a few simple tricks I think she might grasp the concept of what the books really can teach. In my experience a lot of kids read a trick out of a book and focus on what the trick does and not how the routine can be made entertaining. I think teaching them to entertain and getting a charge out of sharing a good time with the people they are performing for is a much better way to go than the natural reaction of "showing off". "Hey, look I'm so cool, I can do this neat thing and you can't." As a matter of fact I have the same issue with some adult performers. Sharing your "entertainer gene" with your daughter will probably be something she holds very dear for the rest of her life. I know every time I go on stage I carry my dad, my grandfather, and my uncle tootsie with me. It can be an awesome thing. That's my two cents anyway.
