Double Show Day in Lansdale and Doylestown!
This weekend is shaping up to be a whirlwind of magic, excitement, and—if I’m being completely honest—a bit of extra planning on my part! I’ve got two back-to-back birthday shows, one in Lansdale, PA and another in Doylestown, PA, which means I’ve had to get creative with my preparation.
The first show is at a lovely girl’s house near Mainland Golf Course in Lansdale. The family has been planning this birthday party for weeks, and I’m thrilled to bring my best illusions to her and her friends. But as soon as I pull that last rabbit out of the hat, I’ll be packing up my props and hitting the road to Doylestown for another magical celebration. This tight schedule has been a fun challenge to plan for!
The Art of Quick Setups and Magic Planning
One of the trickiest things about having two shows so close together is making sure that I can finish the first performance and be packed up in time to make it to the next party without a hitch. To pull this off, I’ve had to carefully select my magic tricks for each show. For example, I’m using effects that reset themselves as soon as the performance ends—like my favorite disappearing silk trick, which I can immediately tuck away, ready for the next event.
For other tricks, I’ve made the investment in duplicate sets of props. That way, I can quickly switch between the two sets without worrying about getting everything packed perfectly. It’s all about efficiency and ensuring that the magic doesn’t miss a beat, no matter where I am performing. This kind of planning is key when you’re covering areas like Lansdale and Doylestown in a single afternoon!
A Little Magic Trick to Try at Home: The Instant Reset Coin Vanish
If your kids are anything like the ones I’ll be performing for this weekend, they love magic tricks that are quick, easy, and can be repeated over and over. Here’s a simple trick you can try with them that resets instantly, just like my professional effects!
What you’ll need:
- A coin (any coin will do)
- A small handkerchief or piece of paper
Steps:
- Hold the coin in one hand, but pretend to transfer it to the other hand (keep the coin palmed in the first hand).
- Wave the hand you pretended to transfer the coin to, and make it look like the coin has disappeared.
- With a little practice, you can repeat this trick as many times as you like—just like the pros!
The kids in Lansdale and Doylestown love this trick, and it’s a great way to introduce them to the world of magic.
Wrapping Up: Magic Across Montgomery and Bucks County
This weekend will take me across Montgomery County to Lansdale, and then into Bucks County to bring the magic to Doylestown. It’s going to be a fun, busy day, but that’s exactly how I like it! The smiles, the laughter, and the looks of amazement make all the planning worthwhile.
If you’re in Lansdale, Doylestown, or anywhere nearby in Montgomery County or Bucks County, I’d love to bring some magic to your next event. Reach out, and let’s create an unforgettable magical experience for your family!
