Hello Friends,
Once again I am entering the Company Picnic season and want to be up to speed with the best of the latest going around. So I thought I would ask from the best people in the business...YOU ! What are some of your favorite tricks that would be great in a Company Picnic Setting? Johnny Magic ! It's Going To Be A Super Fantastic Day ! |

The latest going around is not always the best.
The late, great Karrell Fox would ask, when he went into a magic shop, "What's old?" not "What's new?" The old standbys, with your personal spin on them, still play wonderfully. Miser's Dream Professor's Nitemare Die Box Gag wands That sort of thing. But, remember, don't show them as a bunch of unrelated tricks; they have to have your own spin on them and be blended into a cohesive act. cheers, Peter Marucci showtimecol@aol.com |

I have performed for many company picnics, and before I do the show, I usually ask the person hiring me to fill me in on some of the background and history of the company so that I could relate some of the company info to the magic routines. When doing the "Dare" Cookies Company I'd reward each kid with an Oreo cookie, and after that I'd do multiplying cookies or the disappearing iciing routine. "Even the magic words could be related to the company. " I dare you to come up here ....double dare,...double dare,bring forth a lovely hare!"
Even David Copperfield incorporates religious and cultural information to his magic routines. Darryl the Wizard
