During his lifetime in magic, Ian Adair has written and published more than 270 books, covering all branches of magic. His Encyclopaedia of Children's Magic was a bestseller, as were many of his more recent books on children's entertainment. Ian not only originates each effect and routine, but constructs models, and even makes a point of performing them in front of children of all ages.
Here is another big collection of super effects designed for the kids' show. Quite a number have been exclusive to Ian - now these are yours to practice and slot into your shows.
