The Circus can also be a magical place, and in
this version, the Magic Storybook tells the story of an exciting
and surprising day at the circus. One of the characters even
jumps out of the book to appear in an unexpected place.
Effect: As
with all my Magic Storybook effects, the main attraction is a
book filled with blank pages. When character cards are randomly
chosen by members of the audience, the characters appear on a new
page as the story unfolds page by page until the story ends.
What’s new to my Circus Storybook
is the way the characters (and the story line) are chosen. Circus
Cards containing pictures of the characters are sealed inside
envelopes by members of the audience. Then the sealed envelopes
are thoroughly mixed up so no one knows which is which or which
is where. The envelopes are opened one by one, and the order in
which they are opened determines the order of the story pages
that appear simultaneously in the Circus Magic Storybook.
An optional effect during the reading of the
story is the disappearance of one (or more) characters from the
Circus Cards. They can show up in the most surprising places and
then jump back to their cards again.
At the end, the book is rolled up and a stream
of wrapped candies (or small toys) pours forth into the hands of
your helpers. The book can be given to one of the helpers at the
end, or donated to the school library, etc.
As with all my Storybook effects, you print
out the books and cards with your own computer printer. Photo
paper is recommended for some of the printing, but you can also
use card stock and even plain paper. You make all the other
necessary props yourself following instructions in the e-Book.
This e-Book uses a new concept that I call the
Consecutive Force and a new variation based on a combination of
old methods for acomplishing the force using the envelopes in
combination with the Circus Cards.
