The Complete Motivational Magic Show System
$350, By C.J. Johnson, contact information above.
This kit teaches everything that C.J. Johnson has learned and uses in his
motivational magic show. For your money you get a box containing a large
spiral bound book, CD-ROM, video a magic trick and a personalized
certificate. Using nothing but the contents of this box you will be able to
market your own motivational magic show to schools in your area. If you
already have an act this will help focus and market it. If you are just
beginning to put an act together the 8 routines described here can be put
together quickly and inexpensively.
Let’s analyze each item. The book consists of 5 main chapters; Marketing
Materials, From Experience, Teacher’s kit, Resources, The Routines. The
Marketing chapter tells how to book yourself, how to find the schools, what
to send them, how to talk with them. Copies of all of C.J.’s material are
included in the book, and masters are on the CD-ROM so that you can edit them
to include your information. The next chapter includes bits of business
and observations from his 10 years of experience. The Teachers kit is just
that, a copy of the kit he sends to the school a few weeks before the show
to be ready for the show . this includes a poster, press release, cover
letter, messages to be taught, discussion ideas and a resource list. All of
these items are included on the CD-ROM to allow you to personalize them and
print them yourself.
The Resource section tells how to get a free color printer (but do the math
yourself first to determine if this is truly free), links to
free mailing lists in every
state (also included on the CD-ROM so that you just need to click
to get to the link), and information about sound systems and sources.
The last chapter is The Routines. These are not earth shaking routines, but
they are structured to fit the motivational theme and include all of his
patter. One of the tricks is easy to make yourself and includes the
required files on the CD-ROM.
The video was shot at several of his school shows and allows you to see C.J.
perform. This is not a high quality tape, there are occasional sound and
video problems, and times when he goes off the screen, but it is sufficient
to see how his patter goes over with the students and teachers.
The CD-ROM contains source files for everything mentioned above. It should
be noted that purchasing the kit allows you to use the name “The Magic
Inside” and several logos are included on the CD. It also includes the
music he uses in one of his routines as a separate wav file. Most files are
supplied as MS Word, MS Publisher and text files.
As Johnson is still performing and marketing this show this kit is not
available everywhere. Check his website or give him a call and see if it is
available for your market. As with everything he sells this comes with a
satisfaction guaranteed or your money back promise. Highly recommended to
anyone marketing a show to schools or planning to break into that market.
