These kids are so much fun! The enthusiasm they bring to class makes me feel great.
I did the Houdini Day intro for both classes. They had some funny ideas about how Houdini died. Shot, pills, old age. But that gave me lead ins for how he didn't even drink and was in great shape even at 52 when he died of appendicitis. We did some different routines that I wanted to try out on them. The Zig Zag Magician was one. Some of them had heard about the famous illusion, The Zig Zag Lady I based it on. Not by name, just the effect of a ladies middle being moved to the side. It looks like it will be a keeper for the class. Just not on Houdini Day next time.
