Live Magic Show for Special Needs Adults (full sho

[Zenn_Darkfire]

Hey everyone! So this past week I was flown up to New York to do several gigs. I did about five shows for Special Needs individuals. Rather than posting Five different shows (which all had the same effects) I decided to just make a montage video highlighting some of the better performances from the various shows. I absolutely love doing magic for special needs people because they truly enjoy magic. They are some of the nicest and kindest people I have ever had the pleasure of performing for. I know it's a long video (20 min) But I really hope you enjoy it!

Josh, awesome job as always. It is great to see you entertaining these types of audiences. I like your attitude and "enjoyable / friendly" character. It reminds me a lot of myself. When you have this type of presentation you very rarely get any hecklers and everyone has a great time. One thing I noticed is maybe move out from behind your case a little more. I used to do the same thing. Now I stand completely out in front of it and only walk back at the completion of the routine.

Thanks Rick! I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Yeah I've found that this character works the best so I'm glad you noticed! Thanks for the suggestion on the case! I've been trying to figure out where to stand for a while now lol Thanks again!

Great job Josh. Thanks for sharing. Rick's advice is great. If you must stand behind your table, make it quite short. You are the star, so be front and center! The only (small) thing I would mention, is that you can be a bit more bold showing your TT. Let it show at times, especially when you are moving your hands. Then people will swear they saw your hands. It's a small thing but will help your handling look more at ease.

Great job again!

Thanks Justin! I'm really glad you liked it! Also thanks for the suggestion on the TT! I love using my TT (I always have it on me) I guess I'm just so used to hiding it when I'm one on one that I need to work on being more bold when I have a larger audience

Thanks again!

Josh, I absolutely enjoyed the show, your playful and charming style with the audience really makes me smile all the way through! Now I have a better idea of what effects to do and understand better about the style and presentation that I need to have when performing for this special group of people. I love the rope routine very much, everything was just great! Thank you for sharing this with us, you've definitely inspired me in this video, many many thanks.

I would encourage you to be even more ballsy when one on one. It's amazing what you can get away with. I believe it was Jay Sankey who shakes peoples hands with his tt on. I'm still trying to get more bold with it myself.
