It follows on the heels of his first magic book, the best-selling, How To Create Kids Magic – acknowledged by US childrens entertainment expert David Kaye (Silly Billy) as “…the A to Z of all aspects of being a professional childrens entertainer”.

Now, continuing in a similar style, John Breeds brings you dozens of routines from his working repertoire. A former professional author and publisher, his full explanations, attention to the smallest detail and his crystal clear illustrations show you how someone with unparalleled performing experience brings his material to life. Nothing is omitted: nothing is left to chance: this is solid gold material you can rely upon.

As well as more than 30 highly commercial performance pieces, this new book brings professional childrens entertainers and magicians a treasure chest of original methods, apparatus and comedy bits. Remember, in addition to his track record as a performer, John Breeds is the creator who brought the world of childrens entertainment two highly acclaimed pieces of childrens magic: Visible Magic Painting and Wacky Washing Machine, went on to become modern classics of apparatus for childrens magic.
