More Magic

What a wonderful solution to the "no toys made in China" gift! Grammy and Bompa made a professional looking magic kit for the kiddos. The kit is nicely stored in a hard box, complete with a poster and tickets advertising "A Magic Show with The Amazing Annie and Emerson the Enchanter", home made magic wands, and several props for doing the tricks. These aren't store bought props, no way, these are beautifully hand made props. A lovely hand sewn Wizard's Wallet, hand cut wooden paddles, handmade boxes for various other tricks and two beautifully hand made magicians capes (all made by Grammy and Bompa). One dice prop was purchased but not made in China.

But that's not all folks. The service doesn't end when you get this kit home. It comes complete with Grammy and Bompa performing the tricks on DVD and showing the kids how to do the tricks. They even tell mom and dad when to leave the room so we won't hear how to do the tricks. Also, they've included a laminated "how-to" book with step-by-step instructions and photos.

The kids can't get enough of it. They are studying the book, they've watched the DVD 5 times and have already mastered and performed 4 of the tricks. The video below is their very first professional magic show.
Don't be surprised if you get an invitation with a ticket to come watch our show!

Thanks Pam and Dean for your thoughtful and wonderful Christmas gift!!!
