The Magic of Kids Then

 

The Magic of Kids Now

The Magic of Kids show included a magician standing in front of the building shown above doing the same magic tricks that every other magician in the world does.  I would suspect that the magician owned the tricks and sold his wares as a canned act to the park.  

This show was one of the smaller acts.  The big event took  place under as huge circus tent that can be seen from the parking lot as you entered.  Someone came out and sang (to a prerecorded band track) and had lines and some other patter.  

For about seven years, I  produced and directed corporate videos and large business theatrical productions.  I say that to illustrate the fact that when I saw these two shows, I knew that there were not some little "puppet show" that someone whipped up in their basement.  They were  professionally produced shows.  I asked someone working there where the band tracks came from and who created the show.  They mentioned the name of a company that was in some distant state.  They told me the entire production was contracted out to a company whose job it was to create theme show productions.
