The Learn to be a Magician Show
Learn important magic principles some magicians never learn! This is a magic show with a twist; the audience gets to learn how to do all the tricks and leaves the show with all the items necessary to perform their very own magic show.

The Learn to be a Magician Show goes beyond simply revealing how tricks are done. By incorporating hilarious fast-paced routines with professional instruction by a state certified teacher, Bryan not only entertains the kids and teaches them how to do the tricks but also teaches them why the tricks are done in the way they are by teaching them the importance of basic magic principles such as story telling, routine construction, comedy, and misdirection.

“Bryan Lankford came to teach magic to our Cub Scouts (Pack 327), and exceeded every individual’s expectations.  Not only did he tremendously impress and completely mesmerize our large group of usually rowdy boys! But he also won the hearts, and the admiration, of each parent present with his incredible energy, delightful wit, and obvious mastery of his craft!  We were all blow away, and now our pack is full of budding magicians!  I can honestly say that everyone had a truly magical time!” Alison L.H. Barr, Pack 327, Den 5 Leader

Fun for the older kids The Learn to be a Magician Show is great entertainment for kids second grade and up who want not only to see magic but also to actually perform the tricks themselves.

So much fun they won’t want to quit The Learn to be a Magician Show is so captivating to kids that even after a full hour they will want to keep going and many will gather around Bryan in an attempt to just learn one more trick.

Promotes reading Birthday child gets their very own autographed copy of Spellbinding Magic Tricks for Young Magicians written by Bryan.  This book contains dozens of magic tricks that can be performed with the items they receive in the show as well as tricks with things around the house and magical craft projects for them to work on.  Bryan also stresses in the show that the best place to learn more about magic is by going to the library and checking out magic books.

Boosts self esteem Not all kids can do magic.  The Learn to be a Magician Show boosts the self-esteem of your child and their friends by teaching them this skill that other kids don’t have, giving them greater self-confidence at home and school.
