Super Hero Magic Show Begins Soon

Click the picture for full size version

I am SO EXCITED about this new show!!!! For years and years I've visited schools, daycares, libraries, community center, you name it, and the kids are wearing Super Hero T-shirts. Well, I've finally created a show about Super Heroes! But it's not just any show, contained within the show is a subtle, and sometimes not so subtle message about character. This is a preschool show, so the message is pretty simple and easy to understand.

The kids are going to LOVE this show. And I encourage everyone attending, adults too, to wear their favorite super hero tshirts! I'm going to be demonstrating some cool super powers (via magic of course) and we might even have the kids test out their super powers. Then at the end of the show, I share with everyone how to develop REAL SUPER POWERS like Kindness, Honesty, Respect and so forth.

How cool is that? The great thing, the teachers and parents can keep the message going long after the show by reminding the kids that these traits help to build up their own personal super powers!

The first week of January 5-9th is already all booked! But the good news is, there are scattered dates still open throughout the rest of the month. I'm going to run the Super Marvelous Magic Show from Jan 5-Feb 13th. So if you want to have an incredible in-house field trip during a very cold month, why not make it fun and educational all at the same time!!!!!!

Christmas Magic Show Fun in Leesburg

Dean Alan tossing out 'magic' to the kids!
I feel like the King of Leesburg VA all of a sudden. Last week I was there presenting my Jingle Bell Magic Show at Rust Library. We had such a wonderful crowd of kids and families that day. One parent came up to me after the show and said "We hired a magician for my daughters birthday a few months ago, and my daughter wanted you to know that YOU WERE BETTER! And FUNNIER!!". That's always nice to hear :)

Today, I was at Lucketts Community Center. The show was for the preschool there but it was also open to the public as well. Imagine my surprise when we filled up the room! I'm not sure if there was an empty chair in the place. It was great! They got to see my Very Merry Magic Show, which is similar to the Jingle Bell Show. The only difference, the Jingle Bell Magic Show is all about holiday stories and books. The Very Merry Magic Show has a number of those same routines, but also some just plain fun things as well.

The family audience today was so GREAT. And Ms. Wendy, from the Community Center was kind enough to provide me with these wonderful photos. She was afraid they would be all blurry, but she is a far better photographer than she realizes!

I have so many memories of shows at Lucketts. Years ago, I did a company Christmas Party there for Magnavox. Just to show you how long ago that was, Magnavox doesn't even have an office building in the area anymore! I also presented, along with my buddy Ralph, the Festival of Magic there probably around 2002. And then my assistant Denise and I performed there in 2006 just before we caught a flight to Chicago to audition for America's Got Talent.  Lots of memories and good times!
