All of which you can construct easily and inexpensively within an afternoon; from balloons, wands, bells, cards to hankies.

If that’s not enough, you also receive the links to 3 Teach-In videos on Children’s magic, including Wolfie’s Kids Magic, Xmas Magic and a Balloon Modelling video that teaches 25 single balloon figures.

    Many of these original tricks and routines would cost ten times the price of this book from a magic dealer.

      DEDICATION

      This updated and revised book of the original ‘Wolfie’s Kids Magic’ I dedicate to my old friend Jack Stephens. We pretty much started our children’s magic careers together in England back in the late 1980’s. Sadly Jack passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2015 and I miss him so. We always remained good friends throughout our careers and he was one of the most popular children’s magicians ever in the UK.

      *****

      As a unique added feature, this book can be read in conjunction with 4 Teach-In videos whose links can be found at the end of this book.

      Bonus Free Easy Magic Tricks Videos to share with family, friends, clients & children. These videos teach simple beginners magic tricks with every day items and are great to share with people who want to learn a few simple tricks.

      INTRODUCTION

      Welcome to this fun book on children's party magic that is based on practical real-life experience with routines, gags and patter that has been tried and tested over many years.

      I'm not sure if this is a unique concept, but this book comes complete with teach-In videos linked to many of the tricks that have already been supplied to you on page 5.

      Please note that most of these routines were originated in the 1980's and the original book together with the teach-in videos was produced in the early 90's. At the time, it was called, Wolfie's Kids Magic, but has now been re-edited and updated in 2016. The unlisted YouTube links to the original 2-part teach-in videos remains timeless, and I believe this to be the case here. However, nothing stops you updating the tricks and routines where you see fit. Please note that Wolfie's Kids Magic was one of, if not the first children's teach-in magic video to be produced in the UK and received rave reviews as below...

      When this tape was launched in England in 1990 at a price of £30 it hit record sales and received tremendous write-ups:

      It’s a great pity that there wasn't a teach-in of this sort available in our early years of entertaining children. The tips on advertising alone are worth the price of the tape. Richard Stupple & Wally Boyce: UK

      
Nothing is omitted. The production is first class, the editing tip-top, and it proves to be excellent value for money Jack Stephens: UK

      
I used three of the routines immediately! Dennis Lucas: UK

      The follow-up teach-in was called Xmas Magic with many original Christmas themed routines.

      Following the success of Wolfgang Riebe's Children's teach-in, comes his Christmas show. What a brilliant concept; a teach-in devoted entirely to the creating of a children's Christmas show. There are some real crackers here (excuse the pun!) Father Christmas and the Chimney, Father Christmas Painting, Torn and Re-stored Christmas Wrapper. Colour Changing Tree, Hide and Seek Father Christmas and Christmas Sock. Many are Wolfgang's adaptions of well-known items. But they all have that special something that Wolfgang seems capable of giving standard effects. Take your torn and restored paper, egg-bag, sucker turn it around trick, or magic painting, follow Wolfgang's easy and simple to follow instructions, and you will have produced a one hour Christmas show. Special mention should be made that Wolfgang has been very fair and not given away the workings of any dealer items featured. However, the bulk of the tape is of very easy to make up items, and you will be constructing the various bits and bobs in no time at all.

      Special mention must be made to two brilliant items on the tape; Silk Cracker Vanish and Comedy Christmas Bells. The former is one of the slickest vanishes of a silk you will ever see and believe you me, you will not be using this at Christmas time only! The bells item is a riot of fun; what the breakaway wands are to a children's routine - the balls can be to any Christmas routine. Wolfgang even gives you a full routine as well.

      All in all a very well produced, cleanly and clearly filmed teach-in and the perfect release for this time of the year. Jack Stephens: Magic Circular & Abra

      This was followed by my comprehensive one balloon, Balloon Modelling teach-in video.

      For a name and a face new to this country comes obvious experience, a young man who has worked all kinds of environments as a professional entertainer. This tape details more than twenty attractive balloon models, mostly using one balloon, a few with more than one. The basics of modelling are not actually taught although only a modicum knowledge is necessary to be able to construct many of the delightful figures and formations shown. These include standard and not so standard dogs, and elephant, clown, monkey, parrot, rabbit, horse, bee, etc. For a spectacular closer a basket of fruit containing apples, pears, cherries, oranges and more will pull the applause. The tape quality is good, Wolfgang Riebe's command of English excellent and his speed in introducing models quite rapid. There are not many balloon tapes available and from this one you should get plenty of ideas. Donald Bevan, Editor Abra Magazine, June 30, 1990

      The elephant is absolutely fabulous and worth the price of the tape. In fact, the bow & arrow is so simple, yet such a hit at all my shows that I am lost for words to describe this clever idea. The range of sculptures demonstrated is superb, and the extra little bits and pieces which Wolfgang so cleverly slips in every now and then are worth their weight in gold. Patrick Van Almelo, RSA

      Please understand that these videos were produced in the late 80's and early 90's and rather than allow stunning routines to go to waste, I am sharing these videos with you now as part of the book.

      The videos were shot with one camera and on VHS at the time. Please DO NOT expect high definition quality and expert technical editing, but rather expect great routines that you can use and adapt for today's environment.

      Please note that the links on page 156 need to be copied and pasted into your browser in order to access them. These are UNLISTED You Tube links, which means that ONLY YOU have access to them. By uploading these videos as unlisted videos on You Tube, it saves DVD/USB stick postage costs and makes these teach-ins easy for you to access. Whether you are on Windows, or Apple Mac, a simple free program like YouTube Downloader will even enable you to download the entire videos right off You Tube.

      Please do me a favour! Nobody can stop you sharing the links and videos, but hey, don't be a dishonest jackass and share the link with all your friends. This e-book is already unique and the value is way in excess of what you paid. Be honourable enough to respect the time and effort that went into reprinting the book as well as producing and sharing original material, even if it is from the early 90's.

      Originally I began the book and video with the theory around performing for children. Today I find attention spans have shortened and most magicians want to get to the nitty gritty and juicy parts of the book, hence I haved moved the theory to the end of the book. However, I would strongly suggest that you do read it, as there are some great tips that can vastly help you improve your performance techniques.
