Rather, it is aimed directly at the person who is wanting to start their own children's & family style magic shows and would like to knock years of trial and error off their learning curve.

This is a complete ready to perform show running order and structure which packs small and plays massive.

2. Freddie The Magical High Jumping Flea - Usual Retail $20

Freddie the magical high jumping flea is the perfect opening routine for all children's party & family show Entertainers and has been a staple of Tizzy The Clown's Act for fast approaching 60 years with huge success!

Tizzy's son, Jonathan Royle has also been performing this routine in his children's and family shows at the time of release, for the past 27+ years to date, and he too has always found this to be the perfect opening routine to win the audience over, get them warmed up for what's to come and ultimately to get them well and truly on your side.

This is similar to the Classic Monkey Bar routine, except that it uses 3 glasses upon a small tray inside of one of which is a large colorful silk.

This silk apparently magically jumps from one end glass to the other, but always only whilst the magician is placing the tray behind his back and the audience soon catch on with screams of "You Turned it Around"

After much Comedy by Play and Audience interaction which you will witness by way of two videos showing Tizzy the Clown using this routine which he has honed to perfection in live performances there is a double impact magical ending.

Firstly the silk visibly jumps from one end glass to the other in front of everybody's eyes, and then as an encore the Silk Visibly Jumps from the end glass into the Centre One and once again draws huge applause from the amazed audience.

The original idea for a silk jumping from Glass to Glass seems to have been first marketed by Abbots Magic company with Victor Trask's Tri-Fly-Silk in the 1960's, with a version then marketed by Ken Brooke in the 1970's and numerous different versions having been marketed by various dealers around the world since then.

Within this package you will receive a PDF eBook along with access to several videos including live performances of the routine featuring "Freddie" the Magical High Jumping Flea and a total of 39 full color photographs which will help you to easily and very cheaply make the props needed to perform this feature effect using just a few easily obtained items that most Dollar or Pound Stores usually stock.

For such a routine, that has been audience tested during many countless thousands of shows, this is perhaps one of the best investments you will ever make and a true bargain

3. The Magical Ice Lolly Machine - Usual Retail $20

This Routine dubbed "The Magic Ice-Lolly Machine" by Tizzy The Clown is something that he has been performing in every show since he was taught it by Mas-Kar "The Great White Yogi" with whom he was appearing in the Pantomime "Sleeping Beauty" under his other stage name of Les-Le-Roy during the Christmas Season of 1971.

It has been audience tested and honed to perfection during countless thousands of children's parties and family shows.

Using nothing more than a glass, a bottle of soda pop and a magic wand this is a fun packed routine that both amazes and amuses whilst also giving the audience numerous chances to shout out and join in at every stage.

In effect a bottle of soda pop is poured into a clear glass and stirred with the Magic Wand (or wooden spoon) and magically becomes solid as it the liquid turns into an Ice Lolly.

The magic wand is stuck in the now "solid" liquid and cannot be removed as suddenly the wand becomes stuck to your hand in such a manner that you are able to open out your fingers and spread them wide and yet the wand and glass on the end of it still remains suspended in mid air.

To prove how "solid" the Lolly is you then spin the wand around in the air causing the glass to rotate fully 360% degrees several times without any liquid being spilled as the Lolly is "solid"

And then at the end the magic wand comes free from the Lolly and it the Liquid returns to normal being able to be drunk to bring the routine to a logical conclusion.

Tizzy the Clown has been using this routine since 1971, some 46 years to date and his son Jonathan Royle has been using it in his kids Shows since 1989 also with huge success.

This package comes complete with an Instructional PDF, together with 65 full color photographs & access to two videos including both live performance of the routine and also "How To" Advice allowing you to easily and very cheaply make all the props required for this feature children's party or family show routine.

You will also discover what routine Jonathan Royle always uses before this one as the perfect lead in and logical reason for wanting to make a Magical Ice Lolly.

All of the items required to easily make the props for this routine can easily and cheaply be purchased from most dollar or pound stores.

This is without doubt a real "workers" routine and a true bargain

4. Royle's Comedy Cabaret & Family Sponge Ball Routine - Usual Retail $20

This is Royle's Comedy Cabaret Sponge Ball routine exactly as he started performing it in the Northern Working Men's Clubs in England back in around 1990.

There are plenty of high impact magical moments and numerous opportunities for laughter, gags and bits of business along the way.

Depending on your performing style and Pace this can be a complete 8 to 10 minute feature Cabaret routine or it can be speeded up and streamlined to a five minute close-up presentation.

By way of a PDF eBook, 60 full color photographs and access to well over 60 minutes of instructional videos you will learn every element of this audience tested "workers" routine in a simple easy to follow step by step manner.

During this fast moving routine:

• An observation game is played with one red sponge ball that after much comical by play ends with the red ball disappearing and instead the magician is left holding a red sponge cube in one hand and a black sponge ball in the other.
• These are then discarded into the magicians pocket and a small metal Purse Frame is shown held in empty hands and then magically a sponge ball is produced from within this "invisible" purse.
• The ball is rubbed and visibly split into two balls before their eyes.
• One ball jumps from your left hand to join the other ball in your right hand.
• Then one ball vanishes from your hand and joins the other ball inside the volunteers hand.
• Another ball is introduced and on two occasions in quick succession, two balls are placed into the volunteers hand and one into your pocket which then vanishes from your pocket and appears inside their hand with the other two balls.
• You appear to then be revealing how the trick is done to the audience by introducing a fourth ball but unexpectedly all of the balls disappear completely from your hands and appear back in your pocket.
• Then to bring things to a big finish two of the balls are placed into the volunteers hand and two are held in your hand, the idea being to make your two balls vanish and appear inside the volunteers hand, but all seems to have gone wrong when your hand is opened to reveal a Sponge Male Body Part (The Magic Ding Dong)
• The volunteer then opens their hand and instead of the two balls they were holding they now have dozens of small baby balls which pop out everywhere much to everyone's surprise.
• Several alternative 100% clean replacement endings for the "Ding Dong" are also included making this routine adaptable to all ages and natures of audiences and venues.
• You will also be taught how to combine other sponge gimmicks such as Goshman's growing ball outdone, and then there were four and other similar marketed effects to make this routine even more amazing!
• You will also be taught numerous other sponge ball sleights, tricks and techniques giving you the option to then add to, adapt, alter and change the routine to suit your own needs as and when required.

5. Royle's Comedy Cabaret & Family Rope Magic Routine - Usual Retail $20

Using nothing more than a piece of rope and a pair of scissors, with the assistance of an audience member, with this routine you have an action packed ten to 12 minutes of solid real world comedy entertainment that is packed with numerous high impact visual magical moments along the way.

By way of a PDF eBook, 85 full color photographs and access to several hours of clear step by step training videos you will be taught every element of this truly commercial audience tested comedy cabaret rope routine which Royle first started performing in this manner circa 1990.

During the course of this Fast Moving routine:

• A tiny short piece of rope is stretched visually into a very long length of rope.
• Twice in quick succession the rope is cut and restored.
• You tie a knot in the rope without letting go of the ends.
• You then teach the audience a way to tie a knot in the rope without letting go of the ends .
• Visually you crack the rope like a whip and visually a knot appears in it.
• A volunteer from audience cuts the rope into 3 equal lengths for you and they are shown to be all the same size.
• Suddenly all 3 lengths of rope have changed to different sizes, small, medium and large drawing much laughter from the audience.
• The classic professors nightmare is performed to visually pull all 3 ropes and make them the same size at which point they are displayed and counted as three separate ropes of the same size.
• One rope is placed around your neck and the other two visually morph into one piece of rope!
• The volunteer pulls the ends off the rope and leaves you with just a solid loop of rope that is shown.
• Invisible scissors are used to cut the loop and this is then magically restored with the other piece making one rope again.
• The ends of the rope are placed into your mouth and the middle into your top pocket and these magically change places with a comical gag ending.
• All 3 pieces of rope used during the routine are tied together and one by one the two knots are made to vanish leaving one long length of solid rope just like you started with at the beginning.
• Other elements including where to place and how to logically perform a powerful Ring on Rope Routine are also taught and discussed.
• Various other rope tricks and Techniques are also taught within the package so that you may add to, change or vary the routine to suit your own needs.
• Using changes in patter and the verbal gags used, this can and does play equally well for children's parties & family shows as it does for more mature open minded adult cabaret & comedy club performances.

This truly is a "Packs Small & Plays Massive" Professional "workers" routine that has been honed to perfection over the years.

6. On The Way Here Tonight - Comedy Family Friendly Crazy Compass Routine - Usual Retail $20

Inspired by Milbourne Christopher's "Hi-Sign" and other variations on the Crazy Compass or Magic Road Sign routine, this is Jonathan Royles Hilarious Fast Paced Family Friendly Comedy Script for this rarely seen classic of magic.

Royle has also brought it bang up to date by the addition of two different comedy road sign endings which unexpectedly appear where the Arrows on each side of the Sign once were.

This is now the perfect & hugely Flexible 5 to 8 minute laughter packed opening routine to warm up your audiences ready for the rest of your show.

All of the one liner Jokes included within the Script have been audience tested for many years and have consistently proven themselves to be huge laughter makers.

This unique routine is focused around the problems you the Magician have had trying to get to the show today and the Jokes are all about the many nightmares you encountered along the way.

As the arrow on the sign keeps magically changing direction it does so in a manner that is in time with the Jokes within the script and in a way that helps to visually emphasize those lines and thus make them even funnier.

In addition to the step by step script, you are also supplied with numerous other related one liner jokes which should you desire can easily be inserted into the routine allowing it to be used as the "vehicle" to perform a full 15 minute act.

Some more adult style one liners are also included as a bonus which when the occasion is right (no children) could also be added.

You are supplied with the custom designed artwork in three sizes, 8cm by 8cm for close-Up, 15cm by 15cm for parlor shows and 25cm by 25cm which is ideal for even the biggest stages and venues.

The enclosed PDF instructions and detailed comedy script also include a link to a training video, which along with the various included photographs will easily enable you to make your own "On The Way Here Tonight" comedy road sign gimmick for use with this routine.

This is a real professional "Workers" routine and an absolute steal at this price.

NOTE = The Two Comedy Road Sign endings to "On The Way Here Tonight" are very different images to the two visual Road Sign changes used in my adults only Crazy Compass Routine entitled "Fore-Play" which is also available from all major magic dealers.

7. Ashleigh's DVD Mentalism Book Test - Usual Retail $20

Inspired by Ari Soroka's "The Red Carpet" Comedy Mentalism and Mind Reading routine, as marketed by Jason Palter, this goes way beyond the routine that originally inspired it, and can all be easily made at home for a lot less than $40/£24.

Although in the performance videos on magic dealers sites for this product on its own you will see the final comedy reveal as being Shrek, in truth this manuscript explains how the end reveal used by Royle is often Kermit The Frog instead, but also reveals how it can easily be changed to any famous name celebrity.

You see, although the methods and full routine as used by Royle for many years at shows around the world are explained in full, he also explains how this can easily be customised and adapted to fit any theme, target audience, target client and/or specific bookers needs!

Also remember that it is possible to ask each of the 3 spectators whether or not the page they have chosen genuinely has six different images on it, because in truth it genuinely does have six different images on it.

You can also ask them to confirm that these images are of various different characters and they will genuinely confirm such to be the case as there are indeed genuinely different characters on the page!

The final volunteer can also be asked to confirm that there were different images on the page that they could have freely chosen from and they will confirm such to be the case because it is 100% true!

This routine uses a combination of methods, skilfully blended together to not only give a mind blowing routine but one which is also highly entertaining and presses the audiences emotional buttons.

Comes with full performance rights to Royles routine & methods!

You will also be given information on how to learn the other bits you see in the performance video on this page, the bits I do before the book test.

There are also links to watch two videos relevant to learning the routine included within the PDF.

8. The Crazy Anagram Game - Usual Retail $20

"The Crazy Anagram Game" is the perfect title for what this manuscript will describe and explain to you, namely a game that can involve lots of children at once (as many teams as you think you can keep an eye on) and which is fun, educational, mentally Stimulating and also Physically Active all at the same time!

And best of all everything you need is easy and cheap to make yourself and will pack extremely flat at the bottom of your case whilst being able to fill the biggest Stages, School Halls and other venues with Joy, Fun and Merriment on demand.

It's up to you how you adapt this to your own needs, I never used absolutely everything mentioned in these pages all at the same time during one show, but I have included all of this information so that you can alter and adapt things easily should you so desire.

In essence this is a game whereby teams of four children compete against each other to see who can spell various randomly chosen or called out by the performer words most rapidly.

As each child is given an A4 Card upon each side of which is printed a Large Letter, this means that they will have to move around the stage and change places or at the very least exchange their card with someone stood next to them so that their team can spell out the word that has just been called out.

This game can be perceived as educational as they have to spell the words correctly and also, along the way you can briefly explain and clarify what the meaning of each word is.

I like this Game as you can have numerous teams playing it at once so that it keeps lots of children occupied at the same time, with any left sitting down awaiting their turn being assigned a team to cheer for and to shout out the answers to help spell the word just called out.

Also as its about keeping track of which team spells the word fastest each time there is no elimination of people, just score keeping along the way and a final team declared the winner at the end, with perhaps second and third place consolation prizes being awarded as well.

In other-words it has the potential to keep everyone occupied, entertained and involved whilst killing a substantial period of time during the "Party Games" section of your children's party show package.

And again I'll repeat it packs completely flat and takes up next to no room in the bottom of your case, whilst also being easily and cheaply made at home using the ready made artwork which we supply in two designs for your use.

This has been audience tested and consistently shown to be a proven audience pleaser by both Royle and several of his colleagues collectively over a period of several decades.

All the hard work has been done for you, so believe it or not you are able to have the kids spell out up to 70 different words using just five double sided A4 cards that have a single letter printed on each side of them.

Several different ways of presenting this and running the game are explained in the manuscript along with everything else you may need to know to add this directly to your repertoire.

And it comes complete with two different designs for the needed artwork ready for you to easily print out onto colored cards in your own home.

REVIEW FROM LEGENDARY PITCHMAN DON DRIVER

"Its terrible! I would never endorse such sh*t!"
- Don Driver - January 2016
(After Finding Out Mark Lewis had reviewed the book and that I spoke highly of his Arch Enemy Mark Lewis inside the book)

REVIEW FROM MAGICAL PITCHMAN MARK LEWIS.

"Jonathan Royle aka Alex Smith is quite a character. But then you have to be a bit of a character to be in the pitch business! I am glad that I had some influence in his success at pitching magic but he has adapted my methods to his own needs and in fact so should everyone who reads this work. I have read his script and was struck by all the gags and selling techniques which have been used in British street markets for generations. I recognised a lot of the spiels. Market pitchers know what they are doing and so does Jonathan. In short I recommend that you get this book."
- MARK LEWIS - (The Legendary Magician & Pitch Artist)

VANISH MAGAZINE REVIEW - (Issue 24 - Feb/March 2016)

Reviewed by John Kaplan

As someone who has spent a lot of time around "pitch men" through my years of performing in the fair and festival circuit, and having sold countless magic items at my own Fundraising Magic™ shows, I was excited to read this ebook from Jonathan Royle.

Overall, I'd say the author has a very good grasp on what motivates people to part with their money and it's obvious that he has definitely "walked the talk".

The book begins with reproductions of testimonial letters from companies that employed him as a magic demonstrator, followed by a lengthy autobiography of someone who has "been there, done that and worn the T-shirt out". The framework of his Svengali Pitch is, I feel, excellent. I've performed the Tommy Windsor "Real Svengali Pitch" myself for many years and was delighted by at least one angle of Royle's pitch that I thought was great. That said, there are also a couple of lines that some would find "questionable" and indeed, I'd never use.

While perhaps somewhat scant, the "insider secrets" revealed are obviously real-world proven and undoubtedly practical.

Readers should be aware that much of the material contained in this ebook is devoted solely to the author's pitch and handling of the Svengali deck.

For anyone new to the game wanting an understanding of what makes for a powerful and convincing pitch (one that gets the money) there are certainly some valuable nuggets to be found here. And, the directory information provided may also save those interested a great deal of time searching for pitch products and resources.

MAGICSEEN (Issue 67) REVIEW OF "PERFECT PITCH"

Insider Secrets of Selling and Pitching Magic and Other Novelties For Maximum Profit by Jonathan Royle - Price: $30 (approx. £18.00)

This E-Book is a handbook of information for those who aspire to sell or pitch to the general public. Although the aim is to sell magic, in fact the principles revealed would work equally well with just about any other saleable product.

The author is Jonathan Royle who, for a very short period back in the early 1990s, pitched products for Marvin's Magic. According to the letters reproduced at the beginning of the book, Jonathan was the company's most successful seller, particularly when pitching the Svengali Deck, so he clearly knows what he is doing.

Pitching is not for the fainthearted. There's a difference between selling in a shop, where you essentially wait for customers and service their requirements, and pitching, where you actively seek to create a crowd by being large and loud and in their faces.

This takes a certain type of confident personality and character, and not everyone will be suited to this upfront way of working.

Jonathan explains the principles of pricing for maximum profit and reveals ways to encourage the punters to buy. It's not a gentle business, it's all about extracting the cash for the minimum amount of effort and the maximum amount of profit. This is business, not entertainment.

The full patter and handling for Jonathan's Svengali pitch is gone through in detail. I think he has probably included in it just about every standard gag line known to man, and there are a few other lines that probably nobody else should attempt to try if they don't wish to offend.

It's barrow boy patter but in the right place and with the right person, it would probably work.

(ROYLE NOTE = It does work for sure as it is the EXACT pattern I used to sell over 400 Svengali decks in one day and to consistently sell tons of products)

Undoubtedly the most valuable thing this eBook provides is a very comprehensive list of contacts for everything that a wannabe pitchman is likely to need.

Getting supplies of products, knowing where to access video footage of other pitchmen, finding books or DVDs with more information, all this would take you a long time to pull together yourself, but fortunately Jonathan has done all the hard work for you, and in that respect this book is very helpful.
