Hey Friends
Its Oct and the wedding season is over and I got my latest batch of tuxes for my fantasy magician. I get them twice a year from a company in Atlanta and then my mom sews them together. If you are interested in this audience tested routine send me PM. I will have a great Café price. Tim Sonefelt is selling an item called thought bubbles and they are really cute. I have added them to my fantasy magician routine. Thanks Ken |

These are really nice, Ken. I bought one almost 4 years ago, and it hung in my closet, unused until this summer. I found the perfect spot for the Fantasy Magician in my library reading show. It's an old idea that brings big laughs with the right volunteer. Now I use this quite regularly in other shows as well.

In this day and age of kids being molested, abducted and all the other wackos I just don't think someone should be doing "fantasy" magician.
A parent might not tell you this looks strange or awkward to your face but it is. You have thousands and thousands of options with effects and tricks. Why risk it for one single effect?!? If you REALLY feel like your life or show will somehow be incomplete without this one single item and the world might come to end somehow without it. Then give the child a hat and cape but don't climb behind a child like that and do some fantasy thing. Goggle clowns, magicians and molestation and you will find out that this is a reality! |

I like the way it makes it a bigger effect. I want to find out what hardware they use to make it snap up into place like that.

Personally,
I do not perform Ken Scott's Fantasy Magician. However I do know that Ken kills with this effect and I have never hear people laugh as much in a Magic Show when this effect is being performed this is the biggest LAUGH in his shows and others that I have seen perform it. This could be the only effect you perform and it really is all that is needed as it is that good. It is a very GOOD Routine and in the hands of the right person it plays very wel. As magicians we are runnig scared with all of the hoopla over Child Molestation and that people will perceive you as a pervert. If this is your thinking perhaps you should not perform for children at all as I cannot see how you would have a good time with the kids if you are that scared over being sued or whatever. If the Fantasy Magician is not for you then your should try out Ken Scott's (Magician Blendo). It is along the same lines as Fantasy Magician and will play well although not as well as the FM but it does play very well. YES, I do own it and get a lot out of it. I just do not perform the FM due to movements of my body and having Rotator Cuff Surgery. It is hard to perform the effect well when you cannot move your arms all around. That is why I choose the BLENDO MAGICIAN. Rodney

The stand looks fun. Used in a stage show, it makes sense. It really isn't necessary though. People just see this as fun. They laugh. That's the only reaction you'll get if this is done right. However, if you have misgivings about using a particular prop or presentation, by all means steer clear of it. To everyone else, if you've considered trying this, now is the time to get it. Ken has a fresh "shipment" it sound like.

I did buy Ken's prop a few years ago. I felt uncomfortable each of the few times I performed it. So I tried using a mylar curtain to help prevent my regrets.: http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/searc......=4969614 I also added a small step ladder to see if it would help. Everything took a lot of time to set up just for that one effect. One or two shows later I did put myself in the audience shoes to wonder what someone could be thinking. Next, I put myself in the child's shoes to wonder what he could be thinking. Then I told myself "I am about performing with 100% entertainment in everyone's mind ONLY". That is when I stopped using it. For those who would not use the effect on a girl, why not stop using it for a boy for the same reason? Okay, okay, before you guys who bought the effect are wanting to start throwing tomatoes at me for thinking I made you picture you wasted your money, I have a few solutions for you: Solution #1. Just use adults, (not a women if her husband is there). Solution #2. Use a high stool with a solid back. You stand up in the back while the child sits in the chair. Solution #3. Give it to a homeless person in the winter time. Solution #4. Donate it to a charitable organization for tax donations. |

I think that I would explain the effect to the parent before the show, and ask if they are ok with the effect. If yes, do the effect, otherwise skip it.

The obvious answer is to put the jacket on yourself and have the child stood up on a chair behind you with their arms through the sleeves... Tons more scope for laughter.
