Clowning is fun. Magic is fun. Putting the two together doubles the fun and enjoyment. In this book you will learn how to effectively combine the humor and funny antics of clowning with the thrill and enchantment of magic. This is not simply a book about clowning, nor is it just a book of comedy magic tricks. It is a guide on how to be entertainingly funny using magical effects and offbeat humor. The book is loaded with hundreds of tried and tested comedy effects with dozens of complete clown magic skits and routines.

Magic for clowns - how-to & why-to,
By A Customer
This review is from: Clown Magic (Paperback)
Incredibly highly recommended! Although a comedy magician
(not a clown - there is a difference!), David Ginn clearly
understands the difference, and has adapted many of his magic
skits to a clown's world. Among his other credentials, he's
taught at the UW-La Crosse Clown Camp.

A "must have" resource for all skill levels of clowning,
By A Customer
This review is from: Clown Magic (Paperback)
David Ginn's CLOWN MAGIC is well written and beautifully illustrated, giving the reader a wealth of information. He covers a wide variety of "magic" skills from the presentation to the actual production of the illusion. This is a must for those in the clowning/magic entertainment field.

The Best,
By Enrique G (San Diego, California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Clown Magic (Paperback)
This is a very good book. It teaches you a lot on clowning not just funny magic tricks but also how to behave as a clown. This book was very helpful to me and I'm shure it will be helpful to you to. If you are thinking of buying a clowning book, this one should be at the top of your list.
