Inside the Jurassic Magic Show


What is Jurassic Magic you ask? It's a show about Dinosaurs that uses magic in a fun way to entertain and educate young children. This was the very first themed show I ever created back almost 20 years ago. I retired the show a while back because the enthusiasm about dinosaurs had vanished from the public. But now with the new Jurassic World movie and other projects about dinosaurs on the horizon, I thought it was a good time to bring the show back.

But I did more than bring it back. I updated the show. I added some routines and removed some things. The original show was a 35 minute program. This new version is 45 minutes and includes lots of magic, several really cool dinosaur puppets and just the right amount of fun and education to please the pre-k crowd.

The puppets include a Tri-Ceratops, a baby T-Rex who looks just like the image on the poster above, and a Stegasauras, which you can see to the left. The puppets are fun and they lead up to a magic trick. I use them primarily to teach the kids different things about the dinosaurs.

I have one new routine that is going to go into the show, but I've not finished building it yet. It's a 'stretching' dinosaur routine where a picture of an Apatosaurus changes into a Diplodicus Dinosaur. It's a fun way to show the audience the difference in the size of the dinos.

I still have a few spots left for the Jurassic Magic Show, so let me know if you'd like to have it for your pre-k audiences. www.DeanAlanMagic.com

First Summer Show is Done!


Well the opening of the Summer Magic Tour 2015 is off and running. The first show was this past week and what a fun crowd I had! The photo above is from the school and you'll notice a teacher holding up a picture. This was drawn during the 'Magic Drawing Contest' which turned out to be merely a 'Drawing Contest' because I forgot something, lol. But it was still fun and I LOVED the picture she drew of ME :)

Friday I had 1 magic workshop and 6 magic shows. The 6 were for one client and they all went wonderfully. I should have taken some photos there but I was too caught up in resetting the show and doing the show!

If you're on the summer tour, watch out for Marco the Monkey, he is a big hit this Summer! AND if you're still looking for a Summer show, I have a couple of dates left, not many, but I may be able to squeeze you in. The show is really awesome this year!!!!

Summer Magic Tour 2015 Is ON!!!!


Tomorrow, I officially begin the start of my Summer 2015 Magic Tour. Though I've been doing shows for the past couple weeks, the ones tomorrow start a continuous run until the first week of Sept. There are no weekdays when I don't have shows. However, there are about 7 open time slots, so if you're really late to the game and want a show, I'll do my best to accommodate you. And if I can't do it, I have a guy who can do a fantastic show as well.

I'm already scheduling shows for Fall 2015 and Winter. So if you're so inclined, feel free to contact me NOW while I still have lots of open dates.

By the way, along with the start of my summer tour, it's also the 'Summer of Weight Loss'....at least that is the plan. I'll let you know how it goes! Wish me luck!!!!
