What would be the top ten tricks you would include in order to perform the best show you can offer to the children of this age?

If I did ten tricks the show would last two hours! Top three would be balloon swallow, thumb tip ribbon vanish, and talking dog.

Snake basket or Jumbo Sidekick
rabbit appearance
square circle production opener
McCombical deck or similar (I have one with movie cards)
Bill to Lemon
A good themed silk trick

This is a hard age group. Some 9 year old's and the 10 year old's fall into the tricks I perform for the 10-13 year old group. The 7 & 8 year old's and some 9 year old's fall into my younger group. But since you asked about this group, I would perform with my Axtell hands free toucan puppet doing my cardtoon card trick from a stand, and my prediction routine with my puppet which is similar to the mind reading duck. I would also do the needle through balloon, Fraidy cat rabbit, animated card rise, peanut butter and jelly, rainbow rabbit production, rabbit production box, rabbit wringer, and then the circus wagon.

Thank you, great idea!

I like Stratosphere for the older kids - so simple but still magical
