15 shows to Go and Summer is Over!

I can hardly believe how fast this summer has gone by. It's almost over...BUT I still have 15 shows to do. One of those 15 is at Locust Shade Park in Triangle VA. That one is open to the public and I'll be there Thursday August 27th at 10:30am. I think there is a small ticket price, but if you can make it out, please do! I've got some fun things in store for Thursday.

One of the most amazing things about the summer were the number of public performances. I typically only do private events in the summer, but not this year. I've had 22 public performances this summer! And a lot of my old friends and fans have come out to support the shows! Thank you!!!!

I'll keep this short and sweet because I want to give you a complete wrap up of summer once it's over. Until then, stay safe and think magically!

Brand New Dr. Seuss Book Is Out!

I just picked up the new book by Dr. Seuss called "What Pet Should I Get?" It's a really fun book, though smaller than the previous 'LOST' books of Dr. Seuss. This one contains only a single story. It has some interesting historical information at the end of the book however.

The publishers have estimated that this story and it's artwork where done by Dr. Seuss between 1958 and 1962. They also think it could be the precursor to One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish because the same two children appear in both books.

This new book will be featured in my new elementary school reading assembly, and I think it will also find it's way into a revamped version of one of my daycare shows.

As I mentioned above, it's a fun book so run out and get a copy!

New Contest Up and Running

The Summer is about half over at this point, but I still have a ton of shows to do. AND, I want to alert you to my Facebook Photo Contest. I put it up on my facebook page on July 1st and so far, NO ONE has contributed, lol. It costs NOTHING! And you get a chance to win a prize. So why not give it a chance. Just go to my facebook page, LIKE the page and then post a photo or two or three from my show at your location. https://www.facebook.com/DeanAlanMagic

For those of you who want to know how Summer 2015 is going. GREAT!!!!!!! Except for one show, lol. Yes, I had one show that was a little rough around the edges. I never in my life encountered a group of kids who didn't know what Dinosaurs were, until now. By the end of the show they sure got a good education on Dinosaurs. But it was a hard road getting through that one. When it was over, the kids kept telling me how much they loved it. So, it just goes to show that you can't always judge the show by the reaction. This group just acted differently than 99% of other groups. But as long as they had a great time and enjoyed the Dinos, then I'm fine with that.

Seven Weeks of Shows left till Summer is over! Then BIG CHANGES in the Fall!!!!

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!!!!

Twenty Dates Left For Summer Magic Shows!

Click Image for Larger Version

There are approx 20 dates left for Summer 2015. These are weekdays that I'm referring to, not weekends. Summer 2015 is going to be incredible. I've been working on material for the show for months now. There are some jaw-dropping routines that will be in the Ultra-Magic Show which I expect will leave people talking for weeks afterwards. Marco the Monkey appeared in a number of my Spring shows and I even tested him out doing his own magic trick, which went over GREAT. He's a remarkable little fellow and he is all ready for his Summer run of shows.


The Jurassic Magic Show, for the preschoolers,  is actually my ole Pre-Hysterical Dinosaur Show coming out of retirement but it's getting a make-over.  Some of the new magic for the dinosaur show has already showed up and it's GREAT.

At this point in time, if you are interested in the Magic Workshop, I can ONLY do that in the afternoons. But if you look at the list below, you'll see I have a number of afternoons wide open. Usually afternoons are any time after 1pm.
