The title says it all. I found this pretty interesting.

At first i was like. This guy is dressed as micheal jackson? And he is doing all this crazy tricks like doves and metamorphosis which no one realistically does at a kids show. But then the stuff about Why it works for kids is absolutely fascinating. As a professional magician and a primary school teacher, thanks for finding this vid.

This video was really cool! thanks for posting it. Brings me back to the day when I was little...thats how people dressed and looked. Ahhh the early 80's

I'm addicted to the entire series. They have some really cool stuff if you look in the related video. Those aren't magic related, but still awesome.

Nice man! very interesting stuff and food for thought-thanks again for sharing that with us.
