What makes Jersey Jim the best kids magician? \u00a0Simple: \u00a0entertainment value.<\/p>\n

Jersey Jim is an accomplished magician, but the secret to his success, and the reason schools and families keep having Jim back year after year and the reason kids tell their parents they want Jersey Jim to come back over and over is because he is \u00a0also a great entertainer!<\/p>\n

“I’ve never seen kids laugh so hard with their full hearts!” one preschool owner said.<\/p>\n

Many adults are shocked by how Jersey Jim can keep young children entertained and fully engaged for hours. \u00a0“The kids don’t want Jim to stop!” \u00a0How does Jersey Jim do it? \u00a0How does he keep children entertained non stop for hours on end? \u00a0It’s simple: \u00a0he keeps the children involved in his magic shows. \u00a0That’s the magic word: \u00a0involved.<\/p>\n

Kids just don’t want to just sit there and watch magic, Jim says. \u00a0Children want to be involved. \u00a0So, the same way that Jerry Seinfeld plans his stand up shows so that every 5 to 7 seconds he’s getting a laugh, Jersey Jim likewise plans his routines so that every 5 or 7 seconds his \u00a0audience of children are involved.<\/p>\n

Jim does this by using some simple but extremely effective techniques. \u00a0One is called “Look Don’t See,” where the children see something but Jim doesn’t. \u00a0Another way is the magic doesn’t work until the children say the magic word, another example is Jim will simple call something the wrong color and the children have to correct \u00a0him. “As simple as that sounds, the kids love it,” Jim contents.<\/p>\n

They love it because it makes them feel superior to an adult. \u00a0Think about it from a child’s point of view. \u00a0Children live in a world where the adults have all the power over them. \u00a0But if you can give a child a sense of power over an adult, it’s a very powerful and joyful experience for them, and, sometimes, it’s the first time they’ve ever felt that way,<\/p>\n

Another bit Jim does is an example of “look don’t see:” Jersey Jim sometimes wears a wizard hat and every time he takes off the hat to take a bow, the kids see that he’s wearing a toilet plunger on his head. ” “They’re pointing and laughing and I’m telling them to stop laughing at me because I’m a serious magician,” Jersey Jim explains. \u00a0And, by the way, while Jim is employing that gag, he is cutting and restoring a rope three times, which is very powerful sleight of hand, but he’s making it all about the kids having a great time. \u00a0That is what is why so many people call Jersey Jim the best kids magician they have ever seen.<\/p>\n
