Greetings from Atlanta, Georgia USA!

As I write this on May 23, it is the last day of school for two of us. Autumn fi nished 11 years of teaching music, and David 41 years of educational school shows! Autumn presented her spring musical MULAN last week, and her 4/5th grade kids did a wonderful job! Lynne and I still enjoy going to Autumn’s musical programs after all these years.

See those fl owers & silks I am holding above. That’s the GIANT BOUQUET FROM 3 SILKS trick that I’ve started showing in lectures. I sold out in Branson & Boise, and by the time you get this it might happen again! I’ve used it all year long in my Alaska Magic show — show 3 large silks separately, then with no body loads you produce that giant bouquet from the silks. Only $49 for the silks, gimmick, and 18 bloom bouquet!

But take a look at our other SURPRISES from Ginnville this month —

What I Learned from Making Over 100,000 Fun Balloon CreationsYes, it’s a long title for a very good BOOK by Topper the Clown, AKA Carl Jones of Dallas Texas. Carl spent years learning and putting down in print his techniques for making money doing balloon sculptures. Now you can learn from him! First, understand that Carl’s entire 150 page book is on a CD-ROM. You put it into your computer or laptop to read it and see dozens of color pictures & drawings. What will you fi nd: things kids like, advertising, best balloon gags, everything about pric-ing, which balloon NOT to make, criteria for a balloon twisting gig, best lighting, what to do with kids in line, 10 things you must NOT forget, $20 balloon in 3 minutes, free mailing list, time-saving ideas for $1, ultimate clown school tip, feedback about competition, the BIGGEST SECRET about giving away balloons and MORE! Bonus: 7 hours of audio tracks of Carl reading and explaining the book to you, including additional tips, ideas & advice. If you twist balloons for pay, you cannot aff ord to pass up this book! Fun Balloon Creations — only $25.00!

KID-ABILITY with Jimbo is a new DVD by my friend Jimmy Carlo of England. Running two hours, KID-ABILITY starts with a 45 minute live performance. You’ll love seeing Jimbo interact with children and their comedy reactions to his jokes and magic. After the performance, Jimmy explains it step by step — the how’s and why’s of each routine. The 14 great routines & bits of business include Warmup, Magic Spells, child intro, Tells Bell & Orange Hooter, Comedy Paper Tear Race, Mouth Coil Vanish, Comedy Wands, Appearing Candy, Santa Phone Call, Present from Santa, Nursery Rhyme Time, Spider Bag, Wishing Box, Coloring Book, and a Comedy Balloon Routine. In 1991 Jimmy won 3 major UK awards in one year, and in 2009 he won Family Entertainer of the Year at KIDabra. Watch this new DVD and learn why. You’ll have fun and learn great bits and tips to use in your own shows. KID-ABILITY DVD — only $27

Sellouts in Branson and Boise!Linking Rope Loops! *Show 3 pieces of rope (red, green, blue) and tie each in a circle. Suddenly they link together. Amazing! They just as mysteriously UNLINK and you untie them. Easy gimmick, a little practice! Woven colored ropes and instructions, plus that simple gimmick. Magnetic! Going up in price JULY 1 to $20 .... Until then, just $15.00!

Jumbo Flower Wallet *Over the past 20 years I’ve sold 1000s of the cardboard wallet that produces mylar spring fl owers. Most likely you have one. But have you ever wanted a BIGGER ONE? Now you can have it! Open this 7 x 9-inch black cardboard wallet to show it empty. Close it, and when you re-open it, out pops a 9-inch diameter bouquet of four mylar spring fl owers. That’s not all — you repeat it three more times to produce FOUR BOUQUETS in all! Yes, after showing the

wallet empty, you produce FOUR large bouquets! Do it to music or do it talking! Twice as large as the original! Wonderful visual magic at — only $20!

Ultra Tube w/50 ft Streamer *Open this 9 x 18-inch colorful heavy paper tube and show it empty. Immediately roll it up, give it a tap on your palm, and out comes a beautiful silk streamer — 50 feet long! Also works as a dye tube or blendo tube. ULTRA TUBE is well-made, colorful, and inexpensive. Tube only with instructions: $20 • 50-Ft Silk: $35 • Tube/Silk Combo: Price increase July 1 to $45.00 .... Until then only $39!

Stripes Blow Blendo *Last fall I visited my friends Cheryl & Jeremy at Practical Magic in England, and Jeremy showed me a great new trick. Show a six-inch metal tube and tuck two 8-inch silks, red & white, inside. Raise the tube to your mouth and blow through it. Suddenly the silks sail into the air — blended into one 14-inch square Red & White Striped silk! It’s quick, easy and absolutely amazing! Yes, I’ll make a YouTube video of it soon, and I’ll start using it in my shows right away! The trick comes complete with silks, tube, gimmick & instructions — and trust me, you can do this!

ONLY $20 for everything!

Tarbell BookHere is the ENTIRE ORIGINAL TARBELL LESSONS as HE wrote & illustrated them. 60 lessons (al-most 20 pages each, 8.5 x 11 size) NEWLY TYPESET with the original Tarbell drawings enlarged. Everything from magic philosophy to card tricks, rope, coins, thimbles, egg magic, silks, mind-reading, billiard balls, rabbits & birds, oriental magic and illusions! Reg price $79 ... Sale $59! Important TARBELL Note: If this is all you order I can ship it Media Mail in the USA for just $4.00, your total $63. Unfortunately, due to its weight, shipping on this book outside the USA runs $30.

Spotted Shoelace *Show a yellow shoelace, pull it through your hand and suddenly it’s covered with spots! Or slide you hand over the spotted lace and the spots vanish. It’s a new bath towell; it gets all the hard to reach spots! Or it’s my new dog, what’s his name? SPOT? (change to plain yellow) NO, OLD YELLER! Hand made in Georgia, easy to do, comes with 40 jokes & gags about spots.

Years ago we made this special lace and stopped. Then I started making them only for the Kidbiz Live Workshops. Frankly, they take two days to paint and a third day to sew, and its’ too much trouble. So we are selling the remaining stock, about 45 sets, at half the usual price. Get yours now at just $6.00, while you can still see SPOTS!

* = See it live! Go to www.GinnMagic.com and click on menu item “David on YouTube.”

Blooming Blossom *Show the bare stem with no fl ower. Try to make it bloom, but it won’t. Put it under your arm and turn to get a magic wand. Kids see the red fl ower has bloomed behind your back! Repeat several times, then fi nally make the blossom instantly appear in front of you. A simple up/down thumb switch works it all. Only $7

Sixth Finger * Pretend to pull of your fi nger. Or count your fi ngers and get six, toss one away. My routine is in 50 WAYS TO MAKE CHILDREN LAUGH. Vernet SIXTH FINGER—Only $5.00

Star of the Show! * New Better Design!Magic By Gosh made exclusively for me. Show a 2-inch yellow sponge ball and push it through your fi st. When you open your hand, it has become a big YELLOW STAR 6-8 inches in size. It can be the Star of Bethlehem for Christmas shows, or use in a child’s hand to open up, then pronounce the girl or boy “Star of the Show.” Star of the Show — just $12.00

Giant Bouquet from 3 Silks *Show three large silken cloths empty one by one. Put them together, reach underneath, and pull out a HUGE BOUQUET of feather/cloth fl owers. Bouquet is 20” tall and contains 19 multicolored blooms! Yes, it’s BIG! You get bouquet, 3 large silks, gimmick, and instructions — all for just $49.00!

Color Explosion Blendo PURPLE! Wave around a string of silks, crush them in your hands, and open them up to reveal a large 3-ft full color silk! Includes 36” blendo silk, six little 9” silks, and instructions. $35

45” Peacock Explosion Silk *Use it as a production silk, blendo silk, or background silk. When I produce mine, I ask the kids, “What kind of animal is this?” I listen to their replies, then say, “Who said turkey? Boy, if you think THIS is a turkey — I’m not eating Thanksgiving Day dinner at your house!” $35

Jumbled Numbers Silk *Like my color changing Shake Silk, this 4-ft streamer turns inside out. Purple in color, it has large white numbers printed on it in the wrong order: 4-1-5-3-6-2. Shake the silk and turn it inside out revealing the correct number order! $15

45” Happy Elephant Silk *Is it Barnum’s Jumbo before he got big? At least he’s happy! Again a new ORIGINAL DESIGN, thanks to Ken & Mollie Johan-son, giving the feeling of child favorites such as Dumbo and Horton. Tell the audience you’re going to pull an elephant, not a

rabbit, out of your hat. Then pro-duce this guy! “Okay, sorry, it’s just a baby elephant! I guess I’m a dumbo!” $35

45” Rabbit Ta-Dah Silk *We designed this new ORIGINAL rabbit to compliment any magic or clown act. He’s got pizzazz and personality! Just look at him waving that magic wand and the hand posed for applause. That’s the applause YOU will get when you make this professional magic rabbit silk appear in your show! Nearly four feet square! $35

Sid Lorraine’s THUMB FUN My favorite card trick. Spectators card appears imprinted inside a thumbprint on little white card. Ladies love it! Kids too. It’s amazing. Enough supplies for dozens of performances and dif-ferent cards appear. I used mine for ten years right out of my wallet. Less than 50 original SID LORRAINE sets left !!! Reg $10 — sale $5.00!

Fishing Pole Wand * Hand to a child & wand falls into four pieces (14”) attached to each other, looks like a fi shing pole. 25 jokes, gags, things to do with it. See my YouTube Magic Wands video! Ten left! $15

Tipple Topple Wand *There’s Lynne Ginn showing the great Tipple Topple Wand. Watch me perform it on YouTube! Kids love it when the top tipples & topples back & forth. And I just brought back a down from England, made by Peter Quincey, the same man who made them for Supreme! Basically, a Tipple Topple Wand is a breakaway wand that was never cut into sections. This means the top and bottom white end caps will tipple over IF you release your fi nger pressure on the other end. Kids love it when you play look don’t see with this one. I fi nally show it “fi xed” back and

forth at each end, then hold it horizontally and let both ends drop. $25

GIANT Mis-Made Silk Set *Let’s try to make an American Flag. Put a red and a white 12” silk into the bag, but drop the 12” blue on the fl oor. When you pull the fl ag out, it is red & white only — and it’s a huge 24 x 36 inches! Put it back into the bag with the missing blue silk & next time it comes out, it has stripes in the corner fi eld and blue w/white stars on 3/4 of the fl ag! Kids go crazy over this! Finally with magic you repeat the process and end with a proper American Flag. I have secured from Goshman a few dozen “second” sets at a bargain price. On the two fl ags, the

blue fi eld is NOT as dark as normal. But they look FINE ON STAGE! $25!

202 Questions That Are Hard to AnswerExactly what is a magnesia and how do you milk it? If the No. 2 pencil is the best selling pencil in the world, why is it still No. 2?

With a little pushing, it will even hold a 50-foot silk streamer! Limited Stock! $30

Color Explosion RED Blendo * Wave a string of fi ve small silks around, bunch them up, and wham! They change into a 36” blendo silk!

Baffl ing Boomerangs *In the early 1900s John Petrie of P & L Magic invented an unusual take-off on the old boo-merang trick, the optical illusion where one looks longer than the other. He presented the usual routine, then handed the boomerangs to a child and they WERE diff erent lengths, even after showing them the same! P & L manufactured this version, long off the market.

Several years ago I found a set made in wood. I used them in my Magic Down Under Aus-tralia show. Now I’ve found a few dozen more, machined in wood, painted red and blue. Do the standard routine, but when you hand the boomerangs to a child, you slip the two-inch gimmicked end piece OFF the red boomerang, making it really shorter.

I paid $30 for my set. Your price is a bargain — just $15.00!

Shipping/Payment: We ship several times weekly, according to David’s show schedule, both UPS & post offi ce.

We accept cash, checks on USA banks, MOs in USD, Visa, MC, Amex, Discover. In USA postage is $8 up to $49; $9 for $50-99; and $10 per hundred after that. Outside USA, $10 minimum per order and about 30% airmail.

Make all payments to DAVID GINN (not David Ginn Magic). We appreciate every order large or small!
