Did you know in April schools across the UK were given a total education budget of £89.5 billion to spend with suppliers?

Do you have a show you can offer to schools which educates as well as entertains?If so, you can offer them a unique method of getting important information to their pupils. Importantly, these shows can be run on those days where you typically do not work.

Educational Magic Shows are based on 3 key elements of performance management; 1. Entertainment combined with education; children learn best when they are having fun and enjoying themselves.2. Audience participation; allowing children to learn by being involved.3. Using magic to illustrate key points and helping children to remember the key message.

I have been performing Educational Magic Shows in schools for nearly 20 years; it has been a good source of income for me. I am about to share the working details of these shows with a select group of magicians. This will be in the form of a half-day workshop held near Newcastle upon Tyne. Each workshop will only have 10 spaces.

The first one available is my ‘Recycling Is Magic’ show. Children learn the importance of recycling, energy conservation, and the value of good environmental habits – whilst being entertained! Like magic!

1. Full scripts and publicity materials including marketing letters, emails, feedback forms and hand-outs

2. A ceramic Lota Pot – these are the exact ones I supply Martin Breese International with. It’s the opening routine in the show. (Value £55).

3. An audio CD with the 7 minute ‘Recycling Pete’ routine on. This is for use with the Axtell Drawing Board (not supplied!).

4. A Teachers Guide data CD full of resources and classroom activities to follow up on.

The Cost? The half-day workshop is only £595 all-inclusiveTypically I charge a minimum of £150 per show.- so after only 4 shows you are making a profit. Remember – once you have paid for your half-day workshop you don’t pay anything else. The fee the school pays you is 100% yours. This is not a franchise. One supplier of educational magicians charges the school £175 and gives you £100!

What else will I need? You will receive a full list of props needed when you book your course. You may have many of them already. Presuming you didn’t then you would need to spend approx. £300 plus a rabbit production (if you wanted to use one).

Below is an example typical of the many testimonials I have received for these shows:

Mr Swan from Falla Park Primary saidMessage delivered in a very interesting way! Some very clever magic. Some lovely prizes – totally different! I enjoyed it and so did the children. It must have been good to keep the children so well behaved just before home time
