Do you get applause, but not much laughter? Wouldn't it be wonderful to generate both? This book can help you reach an audience's funny bone, from a true professional magician and comedian.

"We have seen many professional as well as amateur magicians using the same old corny jokes we have heard for years. I think it is time for an upgrade!
"This book breaks the mold and shares simple ways to increase the comedic value of a magic show. The exciting news is that they do not have to become comedians and joke writers to be funny. The book comes with my original material; 200 jokes and 25 gags. And, that is just the beginning, even though it is in the back of the book.
"I also teach ways of finding humor ethically, using humor that fits a performer's character, and finding their natural sense of humor. It is a fast and fun read that will make an enormous difference in any magic show. This is an invaluable book to sell with the purchase of magic tricks and magic books. After all, it is the performance value that makes the difference between a person doing a trick and a person being a magical entertainer.
"Great for the beginner as well as the professional who wants to be 'Sooo Funny!' Thank you!"
- Alan Rich
