Puppetry 101 (2-6) Did you ever want to put on a puppet show?

At the end of the workshop, children will perform their first puppet show in front of a live audience.
The Recycling Show (K-6) The premise of the recycling show is simply to reduce, reuse, and recycle. However, the show takes children in-depth into the reasons these concepts work and guides them into making a difference in saving our planet. Some of the topics discussed are: How, what and where to recycle, recycling can make you rich, repairing is recycling, reusing books and containers, recycling before and after.
Junior Detective Club (K-6)
Con Games and Fraud Schemes (Adult) We are all subject to the deception and tricks of the con artist. Using magical effects as a catalyst, the audience is introduced to many of the common cons and fraud schemes used today. Topics covered include: Contest cons, carnivals, street workers, gypsies, get rich quick schemes, gambling, and more! This lecture is similar to the Magical Art of the Con programs except here we explore cons in-depth and provide resources and materials to the attendees.

Chris has performed these
award-winning entertaining shows in hundreds
of schools and community centers with great success. If you are planning
to have a magician, why not make the presentation educational? Chris has
over 27 years of experience teaching and developing curricula for adults
and children. The drug prevention and safety programs are scripted and based on documented
empirical research. Each presentation can be adapted to address current events or concerns.
In addition to magic; Doctor
Nincompoop®, puppets and ventriloquism figures may be added to the
performance. Most
importantly, the programs are fun and exciting!
The
junior detective club is normally held in several sessions or, it can be done as
a one hour class/workshop.
This fun and exciting introduction to detective work is appropriate for any
grade level. The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew mysteries series are discussed
with Chris sharing a story of when he personally met the Hardy Boy's author in
Florida many years ago. An obvious emphasis on the joy of reading is a
common thread during the presentation. Children will learn how to dust for and lift fingerprints, search
for clues, solve mysteries and catch criminals in the act! Students will
also learn about secret codes and ciphers, using invisible inks and powders, how
to use libraries and the internet to search for information, and other
investigative techniques.
