We've all heard it said before... Kids don't like card tricks. Well, don't believe it! You just need the right kind of card trick to have children eating out of your hands. Here's a collection of a dozen card tricks that were developed to be performed for children. Rest assured, however, that adults will love them too!
This hard-to-find ebook is once again available for purchase. It contains 12 illusions, plus a tutorial on printing custom cards.
"Wow, Bob! It sounds like we think alike. The art work is great and the plots are too." - David Kaye (aka "Silly Billy")
Dogs Playing Poker: Where have the dogs gone? They're not in the doghouses. The CATS are there. You guessed it... the dogs are playing poker!
Monkey Business: One by one, bananas are "eaten" (turn into banana peels). This drives you nuts! The cards then transform into coconuts. Where have the bananas gone? Why, the monkeys ate them of course! The cards are shown again and all three have pictures of monkeys on them.
P.B. & J. Sandwich: Inspired by Timothy Wenk's classic children's effect, but without any of the allergy worries.
The Emperor's New Clothes: The classic tale comes to life in this card effect with multiple transformations.
Wabbit Season: Wabbit season! Duck season! Wabbit season! This one will drive kids Looney Tunes! Bonus effect: Fraidy Cat Wabbit, a card trick that combines elements of two classic children's effects (Hippity Hop Rabbits & Fraidy Cat Rabbit), is also included.
Mickey Moose: M-I-C... K-E-Y... M-O-O-S-E. A prediction with a twist.
Creepy Crawlers: Spiders, rats, and snakes... Oh, my!
I see London, I See France: You just know this is going to involve underpants.
Panda-monium: Pete the Panda learns a valuable lesson. The other pandas want to be like everyone else, changing into grizzly bears, polar bears, and koala bears. When a wise owl tries to teach them about "being yourself," they even copy him! Kids will bear-ly be able to contain themselves for the finale. Pete stays true to himself even when the remaining cards transform into completely different animals! You can even give Pete away as a souvenir (and a reminder to "be yourself").
The Chronicles of Card-nia: Multiple transformations occur in this effect featuring mythical creatures.
Lion Around: Animals at the zoo sneak out of their cages one by one. For the finale all of the animals escape, leaving every cage empty!
