Kid show performers can earn good money — and parents and organizations are happy to pay it — if the magician gives them their money's worth. Posgate shows how you, too, can get into this fascinating field and most importantly, how to rise to the top in your area.

Written by an experienced performer, with tested procedures, and hard-earned lessons, invaluable when put into practice.

If you are "afraid" of working kid shows, this book will help to change your outlook so you can profit from them.

In addition to the all-important psychology of performing before youngsters, this book tells you how to book these dates for repeat shows each year!

Finally, a book to save you time and trouble and one whose lessons will help pay a good return in the short term and years down the road.
