Here is another comedy magic book by Val Andrews. In this one you can find all sort of magic and comedy material suited for cabaret of floor shows. Let's have a look at the introduction...
This is not my first book of cabaret and floor show material and will probably not be my last, because the demand for this type of magic and comedy far exceeds the supply - but don't worry - I'm still working on it night and day!
In this modest volume will be found bits, tricks, patter and routines for every type of cabaret performer, magician, compere, comedian, ventriloquist, comedienne or layabout! Some of the material is unsuitable for use at a Vicar's tea party, but then, had you wanted that sort of material, you would have chosen one of my many other available titles.
This does not mean that the material herein is particularly subtle or sophisticated. Far from it, and it is a mistake to be over-subtle in cabaret, whatever preconceived ideas you may have about it. Some of the most successful cabaret performers have been very much down to earth in style and delivery.
I hope that you personally will make a big hit using material from these pages. Come to think of it, I hope that you will make a big hit anyway, whatever material you use!
