Hi Tim,
Sorry I'm just getting back here. I just saw your post above. Yes, I did get mine. Thanks so much for the super fast service! I like what I heard so far. I've only took a quick listen and I know there are several that I will use on my pre-show tape. Thanks once again! Regan

I must admit I had not heard of this idea before, especially for kids shows, I have seen it at major stage and comedy shows, but what a great idea!! Maybe it is common place in the US but not here in the UK. I think you maybe getting another order for your CD!!
I had thought of getting a plasma screen and putting together some fake comedy type satelite links, and maybe doing a prediction or a talk back thing with DVD etc, but I do like this idea and could fit in with my TV idea too!! Thanks!! |

Although the cd was not designed specifically for kidshows, they can work there. Most of the announcements are for the adults in the crowd, although kids get many of them! I have used it primarily in schools, churches, and libraries.
I used to just do some of the announcements live backstage. Then, I recorded some in my own voice. Finally, I had a professional do it. So, the cd was put together over a long period of time. As for the tv thing.... Last September I was the opening act for the band, Jump 5. We had a crowd of over 8,000, and they wanted me to do a 25 minute opening act. I pitched the idea of me providing a 15 minute preshow video, filled with comedy and audience interaction. It went over great, and the audience was "warm" to me before I even hit the stage. Anyway, in between the interactive video segments, the screen would go black and the words would flash "important announcement" At that point one of the announcements from my cd would play. It went over great.

Hey Tim,
I finally got some of the preshow announcements from your CD into my show. The audience really enjoyed them. I feel like adding these to my show instantly raised my professionalism up a few notches. Thanks so much! Regan

I can't recommend this enough...unless you perform in my neighbourhood LOL...seriously, this is very good and will add to your show...the price is well worth what you get in return...a more professional sounding/looking show and an audience that's already starting to warm up before you even appear...how much is that worth...raise the price!

I ran into another benefit of using humorous announcements last night:
Some of them are very useful! I was doing a banquet where there were a lot of video cameras out recording other parts of the evening's program. I told the emcee that right before I was introduced, I had a couple of announcements that would play. I played a funny announcement which got everyone laughing, but then followed it up with the one about "no audio or video recording". When I walked out, there was not one video camera out anymore. In the past, before I had these announcements done, I would occassionally ask the emcee to make these kinds of announcements. But, sometimes they screw it up. ("and the magician really doesn't want anyone videotaping", etc etc...they made me sound like a jerk) A prerecorded announcement sounds "official", nobody is offended, and the point is made in a humorous way. Plus, it helps to give the show just a little more respect before you start.

I used mine in 3 of my shows last week and the response was very very good...I was behind the curtain and could hear the laughter...particularly from the World Greatest Kid...I also like the Movie trailer intro...very funny stuff!

Just got mine the other day and used it before a show. I hated it.
Just kidding, this CD is great Tim. Nice work. The announcer guy has a great voice. I will be using this all summer long on our fair tour. Thanks again!! Keith

I have a question... Would this cd work for small b-day party gigs???? I imagine it works best in a larger, stage performing area...

I wouldn't see using it in a birthday party setting unless you're doing Bruce Springsteen's house...more for a medium to large size show...perfect for an intro with you coming out from behind a backdrop/curtain

I use it much more in my larger shows....but I will normally use one funny announcement and an intro at the bday party shows. (the intro I use is the one that starts out "We're so glad you're at the party today...." and then gets the kids clapping for the show) It's perfect to then go into your warm-up or even to go into music.
It helps to get everyone "focused" before the show starts. There are a couple of announcements on there specifically for the bday party crowd....and these were given to me when I did a survey of what magicians wanted before I made the cd. By the way, I have another new product about to be announced....something I've been using in my show for almost a year....stay tuned!
