The Classic Magic Show
THE CHINESE RINGS
Featuring magical effects from around the world, the Classic Magic Show allows you to experience classical magic effects from past ages and distant cultures, effects such as the Brahmin Rice Bowls and the Chinese Rings. See an Indian rope restoration and get tied up for a Houdini rope escape! Witness the impossible transformation of giant-sized playing cards of the French Revolution. Enjoy a taste of the Renaissance in the "Locked-Box Mystery"--a feat using your own ring or piece of jewelry. Experience a money mystery from Thailand, the Cups and Balls of anceint Rome, and the magic of Benjamin Franklin's alarm clock in the Astounding Alan's Classic Magic Show.
Modern Magic Show
THE ASTOUNDING ALAN PERFORMS 'BILL TO LEMON'
Featuring both modern "classics" of magic and newer effects, the Modern Magic Show provides a taste of timeless, universal wonder with modern themes and props. Magical red balls play the parts of Romeo and Juliet, seem to take on a life of their own, and give the classic tragedy a Hollywood-style happy ending. A display of practical magic turns paper into money and impossibly teleports stolen items back to the magician. Common objects such as handkerchiefs, newspaper, borrowed money, and even a lemon bring extraordinary results in the lighthearted entertainment of the Modern Magic Show by the Astounding Alan!
Children's Magic Show
Fun for the entire family, the Children's Magic Show features live participation as audience helpers join the act, throwing coins into the magic wishing can, making a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich, and sewing an American flag--all by magic! The whole audience gets involved by coloring pictures by magic and calling for Mr. Green and Mr. Gray, two magically painted friends. Riley the Unreal Racoon also makes a surprise appearance during a colorful, rapid-fire display of magic in the Children's Magic Show by the Astounding Alan.
The Astounding Alan Show
The original family show that started it all in 2002, The Astounding Alan Show is a mixture of classic and modern magic. Silk handkerchiefs travel mysteriously through space and grow into a colorful silk fountain. Golf balls drop from an impossibly small container, appear and disappear, pass through solid steel and transform before your eyes. An egg plays tricks on the magician, and the audience plays with invisible cards. Featuring the "Silk Experiment" and the "Multiplying Bottles," this show is sure to delight with a fast-paced variety of magical effects and humor.
Gospel Magic Show
IN A CHRISTIAN BOOK SHOP IN CHINA
The Gospel Magic Show is an adaptation of the original Astouding Alan Show in which almost every effect is presented as a spiritual lesson or message from the Bible. The final presentation is accompanied by Alan's personal testimony of coming to faith after a life nearly destroyed by alcoholism and despair.
Mind Magic Show
MIND MAGIC AT YANSHAN UNIVERSITY, CHINA
The Mind Magic Show takes you on a magical journey of the imagination, creating illusions and mysteries of the mind. Imagine what it would be like to share thoughts without speaking a word, to see through the eyes of others, and even to envision things before they happen! Several editions of the Mind Magic Show are available, including the one listed below--which is the show most recently composed and performed by the Astounding Alan.
The Dream Show
MATCHING HEARTS
These are the opening words to the Dream Show: "Tonight I want to invite you to come with me on a magical journey of the imagination. Together we will use some common and ordinary things to create extraordinary and uncommon experiences—to share thoughts without speaking a word, to see through the eyes of others, and even to envision things before they actually happen—in other words, we will dream the impossible dream! Are you ready?" All in fun and for entertainment only, the Dream Show takes a look at various forms of dream interpretation, some day-dream analysis, as well as the creating and imagining of a few wild dreams by members of the audience. Dream the impossible dream!
The Close-Up Magic Show
The Close-Up Magic Show is large enough for a classroom or living-room setting but intimate enough for a table of guests or small groups mingling at a party. The show is easily customized, having been performed on platforms, in restaurants, at coffee houses, in book shops, and at conferences. The show can be a main attraction or even a background feature, as the Astounding Alan moves from table to table or performs strolling magic among your mingling guests. Enjoy the live, intimate experience of the Astounding Alan's Close-Up Magic Show!
