Captain Awkwardman- Florence, South Carolina's KID MAGICIAN!

My show runs around 45 min. in length. A lot of magicians like to see how much time they can "milk" out of one effect. Some will do four tricks in 40 min. I like to do about 15 tricks into this time frame. Cards, coins, silks, ropes, an alien, money, dental floss, a realistic raccoon, puppetry, a coloring book, and a few other props make up the show.I incorporate the classics of magic with my own ideas to create a unique presentation. My show also involves a fair share of audience participation. I enjoy keeping the kids guessing. One moment I'm dropping something and the next a fork is bending on its own inside the clenched hand of a child. One minute they're laughing and the next it's silent. I like for my show to be dynamic-not a bunch of monotonous patter.

I grew up in a magical household. My father was a magician and at the age of seven I started opening some of his shows. I've also been performing music around Richmond for the past thirty years. Some refer to me as a "mugician":). For over a decade I've been teaching elementary school music. This gig has enabled me to pinpoint exactly what type of magic tricks kids love. I have high school students visit me and they can still tell me what tricks they saw when they were in kindergarten. Although my show is catered to kids, I get a lot of positive feedback from the adults as well. My ultimate goal is to carry on my family tradition, create memories, and inspire my audience while doing so.

I have everything I need for the show in my vehicle. I arrive 30 min. ahead of time to set up.
