Entertaining Education by Doug Scheer!
A Comprehensive Guide to Creating & Performing Educational Magic.

Educational Magic is one of the most lucrative fields in magic. From school assembly shows to trade show floors, Doug Scheer has worked in every aspect of performing Educational Magic for over three decades. Entertaining Education, The Comprehensive Guide to Creating & Performing Educational Magic reveals Doug's secrets to creating effective scripts, routines, and stories that will take your performances over the top. Included are downloadable videos of sixteen routines complete with the scripts that Doug uses to make an executive's income by performing in schools.

You get all the tools you need to start creating your own routines. Plus, you'll discover why magic can be a distracting visual aid if not used properly, the two different classifications of magic effects, and how and when to deliver a message successfully.  The six elements of drama are discussed and analyzed so you can immediately get to work on improving your show even if you're brand new to magic.  Groundbreaking ideas are presented complete with examples from Doug Scheer's eighteen year career as an Educational Magician for one of the largest companies in America.  As a special bonus, a complete DVD and graphic novel of Doug's highly praised school show, Diversity Circus, is included along with an extensive behind the scenes analysis of every aspect of the show.

This Book & DVD teaches you 6 specific techniques that will help you take your routine from "chucklesville" to "guffawtown."Let's face it, one of the hardest things about putting together a routine is making it truly funny. You end up settling for "cute" bits to fill out your routine, but don't really get "rolling in the aisles" laughter from your audiences.
In PUNCH!, Tom has concisely explained these 6 techniques, the theory behind why they work and actual examples.
These are the same methods today's top comedy pros use to make their acts funny.
If you want to create original material, or add more zing to your existing material, Tom's new book will enable you to quickly and easily add PUNCH to your comedy.

Very funny book introduction by "Super Dave Osborne."
