Dougie has produced two different shows for children, both with the title
“Books Are Magic”
The two shows are for ages 4 to 7 years and 7 to 11 years. Each show features tricks which relate to books and promotes reading as an enjoyable pastime.
The show for the younger ages includes an alphabet trick, a routine based on a nursery rhyme, an arm puppet who loves reading, and balloon modelling (from a book!).
The show for 7 to 11 year olds includes the Guinness Book of Records, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, the journal of The Magic Circle, a balloon modelling instruction book and a routine from a book entitled Magic Tricks.
Dougie is keen to encourage young people not only to read but also to read widely. He refers to a broad range of books.
Each show lasts 45 minutes and there are reduced fees for schools and libraries.
Dougie welcomes any suggestions for titles to be included in these shows, which can be tailored to meet your requirements.
