Editorial Reviews

Review

A treasury of tricks and stunts that (people) looking for fun performance material can use with ease. -- Booklist, American Library Association

Highly recommend this book to budding clown magicians, it could transform a rather dull clown magic routine into something outstanding. -- Phoenix Rising


Product Description

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 it it just a book of comedy magic tricks. It is a guide on how to be entertainingly funny using magical effects and offbeat stunts in a clownish way.

All of the tricks and gimmicks described in this book are very simple to perform and can be learned in a few minutes. Most require absolutely no manipulative or sleight-of-hand skill. The entertainment comes from the way the tricks are presented and not from the tricks themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magic for clowns - how-to & why-to, November 22, 1996
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must have" resource for all skill levels of clowning, January 27, 1998
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best, July 11, 2000
By Enrique G "Kiki" (San Diego, California USA) - See all my reviews
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.
