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.

be sure to fill out the form under What
do you remember?
