 SUPREME MAGIC

No. 30

It Is with a feeling of pride and achievement that we present to you this our latest Catalogue.
Supreme Magic commenced trading twenty-nine years ago, over which period we have supplied some of the world's greatest
magicians, and Catalogues have been produced yearly. Usually, these Catalogues have detailed new additions to our range, although
our No.4 Catalogue was a real giant and in three sections.
In that Catalogue we promised a dedication to Magic and all those who serve it, a promise which we now renew.
"Supreme Magic" has not been created without tremendous efforts, and over the years many, many thousands of different
tricks, books and accessories have been produced. Wherever possible, we do try to keep items in stock. Our customers will rea-
lise that Magic is very much a hand-made commodity and of course over the years some of our expert craftsmen have passed on, and
we have been unable to replace some items; against this, other new, skilled craftsmen have joined our team.
Currently, we hold stocks of some sixteen thousand different tricks, books and accessories.
These tricks are supplied to professional performers all over the world. It should be understood that we are not a "Joke
Shop” or a "Trick Shop". Our Magic generally is unsuitable for the absolute beginner, and we do ask customers to carefully read
our Terms of Business.
This Catalogue is being compiled in February 1981 and we hope to have the finished product ready and advertised by Septem-
ber of this year.
Unfortunately, in this country Inflation is still with us and it should be clearly understood that all prices quoted in this Cata-
logue are correct at the time of going to press. In the event of any Increase in price, we will notify you and bill you, unless you spe-
cifically ask us not to do so.
WE HOPE OUR EFFORTS TO PRESENT BEFORE YOU THE CREAM OF THE CREAM OF MAGICAL ORIGINALITIES WILL
OPEN UP FOR YOU EVER-WIDENING VISTAS OF MAGICAL ACHIEVEMENT.

MEET THE SUPREME MAGIC COMPANY, Ltd.

The Supreme Magic Company Ltd., was founded twenty-nine years ago by EDWIN HOOPER of Bideford, Devon. Since then,
the business has continually expanded until It Is now the largest of Its kind in the world.
ft is a time-consuming business and a highly specialised one, as the Company sales are not made to shops or stores, but cfi-
rect to MAGICIANS ONLY, through the mail.
Edwin, the Managing Director, is himself an experienced Magician. A Past President of the British Ring of the International
Brotherhood of Magicians, a Member of the famous Inner Magic Circle with Gold Star, and with a lifetime's experience of perform-
ing, inventing and writing Magic.
He Is assisted in the business by his son, MICHAEL, also a member of The Magic Circle and the I.B.M., and a competent
demonstrator and performer, and by IAN ADAIR, a Member of the Inner Magic Circle and of the I.B.M., and author of a vast num-
ber of books on Magic.
Nowadays, the firm keeps In touch with Its customers through the pages of its House-Organ, 'THE MAGIGRAM MAGAZINE'.
Published monthly, the magazine has never been late and each Issue is packed with tricks, tips, hints, patter bits, information and
news, - In addition to details of new Items which the firm are producing, and old ones which they have re-made. The subscription Is
currently £7. 50, (U.S.A. $18.00) for a whole year, post-paid to anywhere In the world.
The cost of the production of the magazine Is, as can be Imagined, many times the modest subscription price asked, but this is
Supreme's House-Organ, its shop-window and the magazine is heavily subsidised by the firm's own advertisements.
A subscription to THE MAGIGRAM must constitute Magic's Biggest Bargain, and full details of this are given elsewhere.
THE MAGIGRAM Is Edited by KEN DE COURCY, again a most knowledgeable and experienced Magician, one who has perform-
ed at the famous Magic Castle, Hollywood, on numerous occasions.
Ken is the inventor of numerous Magical effects and the author of a great number of books.
Edwin's own speciality Is In routining and many of the Instructions and routines which accompany the effects are written by
him, as is also much of the patter, writing the advertising copy and of course seeing that everything runs smoothly.
A staff of seventeen working at the High Street premises ensure that mall is always dealt with promptly, usually the same day
as the order Is received.
Supreme Magic has made Its wav because of the wav It's made, ft has been built on a reputation of good service, good goods.
Integrity and a genuine love and enthusiasm for Magic.
 THE BEST FROM DEVON!
Bideford is a little town situated in the south-west of England, (some 230 miles from London and away from the hustle and
bustle of city life), and with a population of some 14,000.
Bideford was Immortalised by the writer Charles Kingsley as 'The little White Town', for in olden days Bideford was a
thriving fishing and business port, with little white-washed houses tumbling down to the river.
Built on the sloping banks of the River Torrldge, the houses still huddle down to the charming quayside and the silver river
which winds below, past Appledore and Instow, and out into the open bay.
Bideford is known as a unique holiday venue and centre, being nearby to such places as Clovelly, Westward Ho!, Ilfracombe,
and other beauty spots.
It is famous for its historical bridge, a bridge with twenty-four arches, each g different shape and size, and for its associa-
tion with such famous names of Elizabethan times as Grenville, Drake and Raleigh.
But Bideford is known to many for another reason, - Magicians all over the world know Bldeford, Devon, England, as the
home of Magic's greatest organisation. The Supreme Magic Company, Ltd.
Situated in the High Street, the notice on the door may seem rather forbidding ... "Magicians Only. Appointments Only", for
this is no Magic Shop. Although callers are always welcome here, there is no full-time demonstrator of Magic, no Novelty Store;
members of the general public are not admitted. Edwin feels that his obligation is to his postal customers, to honour his promise of
immediate dispatch and here is a large building devoted exclusively to serving Magicians, principally through the mail.

BIDEFORD -
This is Kingsley's "Little White Town", at one time a thriving port.
Now known to Magicians all over the world as "where the tricks come
from."

In addition to the High Street premises where the working stock is held, the "solid stock" - a vast array is held in the enor-
mous stores where rows and rows of boxes of indexed stock, checked and packaged ready for sale, are kept.
Who makes the Magic ? Well, outside of the High Street premises are a team of efficient and competent workmen, each pro-
ducing their own specialities. A skilled wood-worker, exclusively with Supreme for many years, employs his son, his wife and
others to assist him; a metal-worker; ladies who do sewing, and so on.
Over the last twenty-nine years, Supreme have built-up, created and sustained a team of first-class artisans, each a special-
ist in his own right.
When the products reach the High Street store, they have to be checked, assembled, packaged with the instructions and stored,
awaiting your orders.
New ideas are continually pouring into Supreme from all over the world; new makers and suppliers are always welcome.
Supreme visit some twenty or thirty Magical Societies each year, presenting and demonstrating their Magic.
Additionally, they attend the International Brotherhood of Magicians Convention which takes place usually in September each
year, releasing at that time a whole series of novel effects. Indeed, the slogan "There's always something new and novel from
Supreme" has become a world-famous one.
Over the years. Supreme have purchased the businesses of several other dealers. The late Harry Leat; the excellent metal-
work items of Bert Gardner and Ylmka; Harry Stanley's Unique Publications and the Gen; and the stock and rights on material of
Roy Baker.
Much of this material has been copied by unscrupulous dealers, often even using the same names and artwork. They have no
right whatsoever to do this, and actions have been taken against infringements.
WE SUPPLY THE TRICKS OF THE TRADE'. It should be clearly understood that we cannot sell you the real secret of Magic!
The real secret of Magic is PRESENTATION! We can supply you with the TOOLS of the trade. Moreover, we can tell you HOW you
should use those tools. In some hands, an Item may be a brilliant success, in others a dismal failure because they have failed to
study and perfect the PRESENTATION and to put into it a little of their own personality.
In the pages which follow are a selection of tricks with something to appeal to everyone, WHATEVER their taste in Magic.
There are tricks for the Close-Up Magician, for the Stage Performer, for the Children's Entertainer, for the Magician who features
livestock, for the Mentallst, you name It and It's there.
Please do make your selection wisely. Remember we do not exchange items, as sometimes a large proportion of the price
you pay for a trick Is for the secret of It.
Happy hunting through the pages which follow!

 AM©
To introduce animation and fun into any programme. Supreme Punch and Judy figures have attained a reputation as THE
WORLD'S BEST. Please note, these are not toys, but each is hand-made. The prices are high but in proportion to the cost
of skilled labour and materials, clients will understand the amount of work involved in the specialised business of hand-carving
from wood, the figures, and then the careful hand-painting and hand-dressing. Each figure is most carefully and exquisitely
made. Each is UNIQUE.
For those who require Professional standard Punch & Judy figures, we will say that these are truly first-class.
Remember how in the past we have told you that Punch figures were an investment and certainly this has been well-proven.
The value of these figures is always increasing as skilled hand-work becomes at a premium.
Each of these figures, - and they are full-size professional figures, - is carved from wood and has an individual personality.
Made in the style of the late WAL KENT, these are traditional English Punch & Judy figures and will match-in well with the
figures which you have purchased from us previously.
The purchase of Punch & Judy figures is a 'once only' affair and when ail is considered, the figures present splendid value
for money at today's prices. We are sorry that because the figures are in short supply we are unable to supply dealers.

EDWIN AND SO WE COME TO THE END
WRITES: OF OUR CATALOGUE NO.30
Whatever kind of Magic you do, you are sure to find something to interest you in
the pages which have gone before. Sure, there will have been things we've left out be-
cause they happened to be out of stock when this Catalogue was being compiled. So if
you don't see what you want in these pages, by all means write in and ask us about it.
We will advise you if we stock it and at what price.
Don't forget that all enquiries - ALL ENQUIRIES - must be accompanied by a
stamped addressed envelope. /
Now a word about this Catalogue and how you can help us. First of all, this Catalogue cost a very, very large amount
of money, far more than the charge which is placed on it. We therefore want you to keep it intact and not to cut or muti-
late it in any way.
When ordering from us, it is only necessary to give the name of an item. All items are indexed here in stock under the
names which we have given, so it is not necessary for you to give a description of the effect, just the name and the price will
suffice.
In order that we can deal with your order promptly and efficiently, wherever possible will you please use the Order Forms
which we supply; some are enclosed with this Catalogue and others will be enclosed with your order. If you do not have an
Order Form, well then keep your order separate from any other correspondence on a plain sheet of paper.
Don't forget to write your name and address clearly at the top in BLOCK CAPITAL LETTERS.
Please read the Terms of Business which are clearly set out for you in the Introductory pages of this Catalogue, care-
fully. We can only supply under those terms.
We would especially remind you that all prices are subject to change without notice and we do not exchange items. A Iso
that we are not responsible for goods which are lost or broken in the post. Every care is taken; receipts of posting are ob-
tained for all packages which are sent by us, and we will send you a copy of this receipt if you have any query, and on re-
ceipt of a stamped addressed envelope. However, please be patient, remember that the Post Office is not as slick and efficient
as they used to be.

fy the Post Office, and you should keep all wrappings intact, for the Post Office Inspector to call and inspect these wrappings.
Having written so ominously about breakages, may I state that of the hundreds and hundreds of parcels we send out each
year, it is unusual for us to receive one single breakage during the year, such is the care which is taken in packing and dis-
patching goods to you.
In the same way, over the last thirty years, I do not believe mere have been more than two or three cases where goods
have gone missing; usually because a customer has given us an incorrect address or has moved in the interim period.
CHOOSE WISELY
Make your selection wisely. Decide what kind of magic you are going to specialise in and pursue that branch of our art.
Sure, eventually if you can afford it, branch out from it, build yourself up a little Magic Library for the more you know about
magic, the more enjoyment you will derive from it. Conjuring is a very great hobby, one without equal and without end ...
there is always something new and novel and interesting to learn.
The real secret of magic:
As Magic Dealers, we can only supply you with the tools of the trade and instructions on how to use those tools. This
same thing will apply to any supplier supplying any commodity. At the end, you will be a "bodger" or an expert craftsman
and it really will DEPEND ENTIRELY UPON YOU; on the amount of time and effort which you put into the presentation
of your magic.
Magic is, generally speaking, easy to do. The real skill lies in the presentation and any trick can be as Rood as you
make it appear.
However, we like to think of ourselves as more than just "dealers", because we are also inventors and developers of ma-
gical effects. We are in magic because we love it ... we love presenting it and we love the development of new ideas.
LET ME PEN A FEW WORDS FOR THE NEWCOMER INTO MAGIC. I would say to you, read this Catalogue carefully
and make out several lists changing them around and so on, until you have put together what you consider to be a weH-bal-
anced act. Now there are no hard and fast rules about this, what is a perfect "opener" for one man because it's quick and
slick? may not be a perfect opener for another man, who likes to deliver patter lines and prefers a slower opening. It's en-
tirely up to the individual.
Having carefully made up your mind, and wherever possible given alternatives, place your order. Please do allow suffi-
cient time for this to reach you. Remember, even a first-class letter can now take a couple of days internally; if it is sent
from overseas, even by air mail, it can take a week or more.
We will deal with your order right away, In the event of something being sold out we will notify you and send you a
credit note. You can use this credit note as dash against future purchases OR you can redeem it at any time for cash ...
that is entirely up to you. The credit note is sent by us purely as a matter of convenience. We like to think that most ina-
gicians, once they are a 'Supreme' customer are Supreme customers for life.
So your parcel has arrived. It's exciting isn't it, opening parcels, like Christmas all over again.
again, But inevitably when you
see the secret of a trick, you are a little bit disappointed, a little disillusioned ... DON'T BE. Take an item one at a time,
study it carefully, read the effect again, try it, learn the routine given with it, practise it, practise it again, and again, and
again.
If you have a tape recorder, it is a good idea to dictate the instructions and the routine onto the recorder and to have
this playing when you first run through the moves. Don't make the mistake of showing the trick to your wife or girl-friend
or family.
 I would say that if you are a complete beginner to Magic, then you should start off by putting a little act together.
Perhaps five or six strong tricks and then you should go out and get yourself some experience by doing some free shows, -
shows for our Senior Citizens, for the hospitals, or Homes for the Disabled, for churches... the thing is to get some experience
and some self-confidence.
Re the latter, this will come as the applause comes and the audience credit you with a greater skill than you actually
possess, and it will be a skill which you really will have because you will not be developing and projecting your own personality.
If there is a good Amateur Dramatic Society Producer nearby, try and make his acquaintance. Ask him to watch your
act and make suggestions for it. Leam how to "walk on" and "off" a stage; how to take a bow. Watch other artistes at
work, not necessarily magicians so as to ape their style, but to learn the essential rudiments of stage-craft.
There are a number of books - we supply a couple of excellent ones on stage technique.
LOOKING FOR SOMETHING YOU DON'T NEED!
Have you ever been back stage and looked at the props., used by a busy pro? Goodness, how tatty they look - of course
they do. they are props which have been in continual use for years and years. The performer using them knows that they look
good from "out front" and he does renovate them from time to time, but he's not worried about the props, it's the effects
they achieve, thanks to his skilled handling and the showmanship which he injects into their presentation.
Compare the attitude of the pro with that of the novice, who carefully and meticulously inspects every little article.
"Oh, there's a tiny blemish on there, perhaps the audience will notice." "The Thumb Tip doesn't match the colour of my
skin", (they hardly ever do but the Thumb Tip is never seen, it is always partially hidden behind the hand. They are worrying
about trivia, they are forgetting that what Magic is all about is ENTERTAINMENT, it's FUN.
I always remember the story of the young magician who before the war bought one of the old type metal Thumb Tips.
The colour of it was not quite right for him.
When he had seen the dealer performing miracles with a Thumb Tip, obviously his must have been different, because he
hand not seen a single trace of it.
He went back and watched the demonstrator once more, - the demonstrator removed a handkerchief from his pocket,
took his lit cigarette, pushed it in the centre, allowing smoke to rise from it for a few moments before pushing it completely
in and then showing, to the surprise of everyone, that the cigarette had gone.
He saw him take up a salt shaker and pour the salt into his closed hand, Magically the salt vanished and appeared in
the other hand.
He thought it was about time that he made his complaint.
"Excuse me", he said, putting his small package in front of him, "1 don't think that the Thumb Tip I bought is the same
as yours." "No, you're right laddie", said the demonstrator, "it isn't, I'm afraid mine's a bit older than yours." He proudly
displayed his thumb with the Thumb Tip on it, the tip that had been so well-concealed throughout the whole of his demonstra-
tion. Every bit of paint had been chipped off it and there is was, bright metallic I
"You see, laddie", he said, "it hasn't got to be a perfect match because it's never seen and if you use it correctly, it's
never for one moment suspected."
The moral of all this is don't get over-worried about your props. If you look at a Rolls Royce meticulously, you'll find
some little flaw or blemish in it. Remember your props are your working tools of the trade. We make them the best we can
... they all work, otherwise we wouldn't put them out. At the time when we put them out, we demonstrate them and we sell
them at Magical Conventions throughout the country, on demonstration.
The models we use are no different to the models we sell, (perhaps sometimes they are a little worse because if one
has a flaw in it, that's the one we are going to be using!).
Ultimately, everything is as good as you make it.
ANOTHER STORY
Many years ago a magician sent back to me a "Snowy Mouse", with a most bitter letter of complaint. "This", he de-
clared, "looks nothing like a mouse, I put it on the table and the wife and family all had a look at it and they agreed it
doesn't look like a mouse. I took it along to the local Magical Society (who at this moment will be nameless), I put it on
the table and members stood back and looked at it. We all agreed it looked nothing like a mouse at all."
"Oh, dear, this was exactly the same as the mouse that we had supplied to the late TOM HARRIS, who made a real
RIOT out of it in his show. It was the same mouse that we had supplied to ERIC WILLIAMS. It was the same mouse that
we had used in our DEMONSTRATIONS.
A week later we were doing a demonstration at this particular Society, so we made a special point of taking his letter
and a supply of mice along.
I read the letter out, showed the mouse, put it on the table, and said, "Well, it doesn't look like a mouse does it, but
this is how you use it and what it looks like when it's properly used."
Taking up the mouse I started to animate it, it jumped up my arm, popped up inside my sleeve, jumped all over the
place. I went to hand it to a lady who literally screamed when it landed on her lapl 1 grabbed hold of it, it had gone again
and was inside my jacket. Up and down and around ... eventually, I took it out of my trouser leg!
It's a whole hilarious bit of business and it got LAUGHS GALORE.
And at the end, I SOLD EVERY SINGLE ONE.
So remember, if you look for faults you will certainly find them. If you use an effect as directed and use it to produce
ENTERTAINMENT, you will not be disappointed.
LITTLE THINGS ARE IMPORTANT.
During a show you should know where everything is so that you do not have to turn to pick up a prop,. Your tables
should be at the correct height so you do not have to bend. LLeam to fill‘ the stage,. .yet 'keeping
.’ .your movements minimal
when you are actually performing magic with your hands.
WE REPEAT, - the real secret of magic is SHOWMANSHIP and PRESENTATION, the projection of your personality
through the medium of the tricks you are presenting.
 BUT IT'S ONLY GOING TO BE A HOBBY!
O.K., so you never intend to become a stage performer and magic perhaps may always be a hobby for you, one you will
use at home, at the Club, etc., for the entertainment of friends. Well, the same rules apply. Learn a trick so thoroughly you
can do it automatically. Then you'll find you'll be able to throw in little sidelines and ad-libs to add to the ENTERTAINMENT
VALUE of the items which you are presenting.
Even if you are only performing pocket tricks, try to routine these together to make a little sequence, so that when you
are asked to do a trick, you can do one and if you are asked to do another one - (and whatever you do, DON'T bore, don't
foist your magic on people), you can do one which follows in natural continuity, or which is a natural 'lead on' for an effect
which you have just shown.
Don't take your magic too seriously. KARRELL FOX, during his show and during his "close-up", often repeats, "Gee,
aren't we having fun." That's his philosophy and it's one which comes over to his audience. They are having fun, they are
' seeing unusual items and because THEY are having fun you are having fun too.

Earn money too!

Magic is a wonderful hobby, a great art and a lucrative living for a great number of people, You can earn back the
complete cost of an act on your first engagement if you are good.
So let's go back to an earlier paragraph and your first show. Lights ... Music ... Curtains ... you're on! 1 know you
will experience a nervous thrill as you walk onto that stage. Take a few deep breaths before _________
you go on; smile; say to your-
self "I'm good", and you'll soon overcome any nervousness as you go into your first trick, one you have practised well, over and
over again and which you are completely confident with.
Having got that one over and received some well-earned applause, the rest of the act seems easy ... one trick following
another until you come to the last one, one selected for its appropriateness and one which you know will garner you a big ova-
tion.
And how did it all start? Probably by browsing through a Magic Catalogue such as this one, selecting appropriate items.
Some of which you purcahsed maybe did not fit, - don't worry, they'll find a place in your alternative programme later on for
sure. It is all part of one's magical education to buy effects which one cannot immediately use. It is foolish economy to
dispose of them. Invariably, a few days later you'll think of a way in which you could have used the item in your show, per-
haps incorporating it with another one, - so hang on to those tricks and books, they cost you money; there's knowledge there
and being a magician is more than knowing just a few tricks ... the more background knowledge you have of our art, the bet-
ter magician you will be.
The rest of your preparation was in practice and more practice; the patter was learnt, it should be learnt so well that
in the end you can rattle it off as though it were completely ad-libbed, you can't do this with patter badly learnt, so twist
and adapt the patter story by all means to suit your own style, BUT then learn it and learn it well. Remember that you are
not standing up delivering a recitation, you are using your patter as a means of expressing your own personality.
Practise in front of a full-length mirror if you like, but don't get so used to it that you feel lost when you are per-
forming to a real live audience.
With the continual repetition, perfection has come, smoothness in handling, confidencein knowing that you have the right
props and you know how to use them. The patter which at first seemed parrot-like, should now have become smooth-flowing
and have changed as you |>iit your individuality into it. - A line was altered, a line cut out, you have moulded the presentation
to suit yourself; your personality has gradually emerged and come to the fore, no longer is the trick performed by you, it is
YOU presenting a trick, a very different thing.
You have linked the items you have into an act, one with a good beginning, one to rivet the attention of the audience,
to allow you to "get over", a good middle, to establish the initial good impression which you have created, and a strong finale
to make them applaud and to make them feel that that was a jolly good show. You have done a number of free shows, you
are confident. You are a MAGICIAN.

What Now?
Once you have that jolly good show, don't under-sell yourself. Remember the experience which you have gained has
cost you time and cost you money, and if you work too cheap then you are going to be belittling our art and making it diffi-
cult for those who depend upon it entirely as a livelihood.
By all means, still do charity shows, - preferably for a fee which you donate back to the charity, a gesture which will
be appreciated far more than your just going along and "putting on a little act".
Almost every large town boasts a Magical Society and soon You'll be sharing some of your secrets with some of your
magical friends and discovering the brotherhood which exists between magicians literally all over the world.
Not every magician has to wear the same type of clothes - often looking like a head-waiter - there are thousands of
tricks. Use your IMAGINATION.

Novelty Acts.
Here are a few ideas which you might like. How about an act using just
Jumbo Cards. They are easy to carry, big in effect and can be used on any stage. You will find
it an easy matter to get together an act with Jumbo cards from the material detailed in this
Catalogue. (And none of them are over-expensive.)
How about doing an act in character, for example as A CHEF. All sorts of tricks work-in well
with this theme ... tricks with liquids or for instance with rice, produce flour instead of confetti,
twist, adapt.
 Rope Magic is' another popular favourite, it's easy to carry, yet you can build a whole act using
nothing other than ropes. ERDANAC the famous cabaret artiste has been playing the leading night-clubs
in the world with nothing more than a few hanks of rope over the last fifteen or twenty years.

The Classics. Do not neglect the classics. It is important, in my opinion, that every magician
should learn to perform such effects as the Egg Bag, the Chinese Linking Rings, the Sympathetic
Silks, a Cut and Restored routine and so on. You will find the GANSON TEACH-IN SERIES invalu-
able to you here. Lewis, who unfortunately died at the end of 1980, was one of the greatest teach-
ers of magic of all-time.

1
Why not be a Clown! All the world loves a clown, and we have many comedy effects which the magicaL
clown can use to stunning effect. Don't forget, plenty of miming, a bright costume, an eccentric walk. A
"Magical Clown act" is ideal for children's or adult shows, small circus, variety, etc. Some performers who
are very nervous, find that they can hide their own personality behind the make-up of a Magic Clown.

Children's Parties a Speciality

There is no more rewarding branch of magic than Children's Entertainment. Rewarding in many ways ... the feeling
of a job well done ... the happiness of a bunch of kids enjoying themselves ... a little fantasy becoming reality ... and for
you also, for there is a no more lucrative side of magic. Here there are, and always will be, shows a-plenty with generous, fees
forthe right kind of programme. The conjurer who doesn't do kids' shows is losing the cream of the business!
Kids' shows are EASY ... IF ... you are prepared to 'let your hair down' ... have fun with the kids ... and use the
right kind of material.
That last line is not a 'plug' - there are some excellent Children's effects available elsewhere _. and a lot which are
obviously 'cooked up to sell' and without the real 'know-how' that only actual performing to children can give.
Children do NOT want to watch "clever-clever mysteries". They do NOT want to see how skilful you are. They WANT
to laugh, shout, participate, listen to stories, HAVE FUNII!
We would not recommend if you are a very young man, that you should do shows for children, for you will find that
generally speaking the older person has more control over an audience of children.
Even if the older person is prepared to let his hair down, go down on his knees and come down to their level, neverthe-
less, the children will respect him as an adult and appreciate die clever and funny things which he is doing for their amuse-
ment.
If you try and do the same things as a child, then you might be considered "just silly". As an adult you are "playing
a part", and can get away with it.
Notwithstanding the above I know that there are a FEW young men who are very competent kids' conjurers. At the
end of it all it's their ATTITUDE and mode of presentation that has made them such.
Where to do shows.
To get you started, free ones at Hospitals, Children's Homes for ill and handicapped children.
Paid shows (and you can ask for a GOOD fee - you are only worth as much as YOU think you are) at Private Christmas
and Birthday parties, Schools (Breaking-up Parties), Fetes, Parties for Organisations, (R.A.O.B., Women's Institutes, Churches,
Sunday Schools etc., the list is a long one.).
If you decide to become a 'pro' you can try getting work at Holiday Camps, or on a Cruise Ship as resident children's
entertainer.
Where to advertise?
Your local Newspaper, small so-much-a-word adverts in shop windows, (preferably toy shops). Direct mail (your best
medium) writing to Schools, Churches, etc., clearly stating what you can offer and enclosing a stamped addressed or business
reply envelope, together with your publicity matter. If you have a local agent by all means approach him.
Ringing the Oranges. Have a number of programmes each packed in its own case. Then you can easily give a complete
change of programme as required without heartache! There is no shortage of good kids' tricks. A glance through our cata-
logue will prove that!
By-play. Remember - the "business" with a trick is often more important than the trick itself! Play it for all you're
worth. This comedy by-play is ENTERTAINMENT. Aim to incorporate SOME by-play of some kind ... ridiculous situation ...
audience participation ... the false start or false climax ... the magic spell, etc., into each routine.
Try to understand what makes Children laugh. Study the comic papers. Try to instil EXCITEMENT into what you do ...
build up the SUSPENSE. Act the clown! Be the fool! It won't hurt you and YOU'LL BE WELL COMPENSATED WHEN YOU
COLLECT YOUR FEE AT THE END! Turn the 'sucker-gags' against YOURSELF ... NEVER against the children!

For a noisy audience ... have a whistle around your neck and use it at the start to establish order. Quickly get the
children into the routine of CONTROLLED shouting. If you like, "When I blow my whistle once I want you to shout the magic
spell ... ABRACADABRAI When I blow it TWICE 1 want you to keep VERY, VERY quiet so we can HEAR the magic working!
 When I blow it quickly, over and over again 1 want you to GIVE YOURSELVES A JOLLY GOOD CLAP FOR BEING SO
CLEVER".
(The adults in the next room will hear the applause and think it's all for you ... crafty!)
Seen it before! Don't worry! The kids are only telling you ... they7eally want to see it again so you say, "Oh! You've
ALL SEEN 1 HIS before. What a pity! It's my favourite trick and a jolly good one! Never mind! I'll put that one away, be-
_
cause you've all seen it before, haven't you? You'd like to see it again? Alright! but you must promise to keep very, very
quiet as we don't want to spoil the lovely SURPRISE for the others, do we!"' And that's it.
And now over to the first of my Guest writers.

AFTER DINNER MAGIC by Ken de Courcy

Ken de Courcy is known, not only as a brilliant inventor, author, editor of The Magigram, but
also as a top-flight Cabaret Entertainer. There's a lucrative business working 'after-dinner' and Club
shows, so over to Ken -

I've already covered the subject very fully in "After-dinner technique" and in "Magic in Caba-
ret Land". I will, however, reiterate a few things learned from experience. -
Try to start off "clean", with at the most one small table and finish off the same way.
R Ideally, choose Magic that you can work from your pocket and do anywhere.
Pay special attention to your dress; your appearance; your personal hygiene.
Remember to have a few "impromptus" in your pocket that you can show later at the bar and which may well be
responsible for getting you repeat bookings.
Buy the tricks; work-up the presentations and you can earn more on your first engagement than the entire act cost you.

My second Guest writer, is another Magical enthusiast. Author of scores of books, Ian "lives" magic.
Over recent years Magic with Doves has come to the forefront, and this has very largely been due to the very many
splendid books lan has authored. Ian has presented his own Prize-winning Dove act on many T.V. shows.
PREPARING A DOVE ACT. By IAN ADAIR
Dove Magic is not a new trend, neither is it a passing
phase, but it is an accepted branch of magic, just like card
manipulations, Mental magic and Children's entertainment.
Dove Magic is here to stay, and nothing could be finer than
a slick and entertaining dove act for any cabaret or stage
show.
In preparing your dove act try to strike a balance in
the manner you produce your doves, You do not have to
produce every dove via a body load, there are now many ex-
cellent self-contained dove productions available, and these
•
should be interspersed with your other ’items.. Silk and Flower effects also blend well into a Dove act. Treat your livestock
carefully and with respect. You
' may never achieve the international acclaim that Channing Pollock received, but there is no
reason why you should not be able to present a competent dove act that is colourful, charming and could earn you a lucrative
living for many years to come.

Close-up Magic itself fits into several categories. One magician who has made a name for himself of recent years per-
forming close-up magic "at the table" in restaurants etc., is Tony Griffiths, Tony always puts the accent on Entertainment -
over to him.

ROUTINED CLOSE-UP MAGIC. By TONY GRIFFITHS

ENTERTAINMENT is a big word with thirteen letters in it. If it is treated carefully it will
work wonders; if abused it will turn sour and produce first-rate boredom.
This is true of magic as it is with a book, film, play or television programme. Entertainment
in the field of close-up magic is essentia), otherwise the trick is reduced to a puzzle. I believe
that magic performed at close-quarters is the kind of magic the majority of magicians arc concern-
ed with today, bearing in mind that most of us make a living from a job other than magic. To me,
magic at close-quarters is magic performed in a drawing room, at a party, in a bar, at a dinner
table or, in fact, at any time when people in small groups need entertaining.
The Supreme Magic Company cater most fully for those performing this type of magic. One
has to read the various catalogues, or to visit their Headquarters in Bideford to realise they must
carry the largest stock of magic in this country. In fact, they make it too easy for the magician,
because, with almost every item sold, there is produced comprehensive instructions how to work the
trick plus ideas how to ENTERTAIN with it.
If you turn the pages of this Catalogue you will see many items in the sphere of Close-up
Magic. First of all, there are the many excellent books with wondeiful ideas, routines, gags and
bits of business.
From any of these specialised books, one can get ideas to incorporate into one's close-up magic.
The late BERT ALLERTON was one of the first magicians to make living from close-quarter magic on its own. Quite
in addition to their stage or cabaret acts. Bert Allerton found that it
a few magicians have performed close-quarter magic i
was the bits of business that quite often were remembered when other mysteries were long forgotten.
