2008-05 Report of the David Ginn lecture

We had David Ginn’s workshop April 26th at the College Park Baptist Church. Wow, what a great learning experience. David went through the Do’s and Don’ts of performing for children. Along with that he showed different performing styles, using some of the same items. We had in attendance 21 people, special guests Samuel Patrick Smith, Bruce Johnson, and Scott Humston, and they all said the same thing that they had a great time and learned many new things.

The workshop:

Prepping the audience, seating instructions, comedy warm ups.
Audience participation magic
The look don’t see
Run on's
Magic with music
Tricks to close the show
For birthday’s, how to make it special for the birthday child.
How important it is to include the adults
How to make a personalized magic kit and add some dollars to your wallet.

Along with the workshop between various magic tricks David would give everyone an item or trick that would help with your own show.

As with most workshops/lectures David had all his items there for sale so anything he performed could be purchased right there. His prices were great and he had numerous deals for the attendees. No-one left without getting something.
