I can wholeheartedly recommend Mike's system as I know it works - it has helped me grow my existing business by over 50% in the last year."

Beginners Guide To Entertaining Children...
Learn How To Become A Children's Entertainer in the UK
As featured in The Sunday Times
In September 2007, the original "Beginners Guide To Entertaining Children" system was released. Within two weeks it had sold out.
Now, after revision and updating, the system is once again available to people who want to learn how to start work as a children's entertainer in the UK.
The system was created by me, Mike Clarke, a full-time children's entertainer based in Bristol, UK (you can check out my magic website at www.thekidsmagician.com)
In this one-of-a-kind system, I go into great detail about every aspect of my business. You'll:
In short, this system is a mini-franchise for the children's entertainment market...without the hefty price-tag of a franchise!
The system consists of 6 audio CD's, 4 DVD's and one Resource (data) CD. Enough to keep you busy for a while!
Here is what is included in the system:
CD 1 - The Children's Entertainer
On this CD, I define exactly what a children's entertainer actually is!
I explain the different ways children can be entertained, as well as the key skills you MUST grow and develop in order to be successful as an entertainer.
This CD also asks the important question - is entertaining children something that you really, really want to do?
I’ll explain the factors to weigh up - both the positive and the negative (yep, there ARE “negatives” to this business, that surprisingly few entertainers ever talk about.) They’re not necessarily HUGE negatives, but I reckon you’re better of knowing them BEFORE you embark upon a new career, rather than finding them out when it is too late to change your mind!
But don't worry - it isn't all doom and gloom! Nowhere near it in fact. You'll find that this CD will end up getting you even MORE excited about becoming a children's entertainer!
CD 2 - Props and Equipment
If you have spent any time at all researching props and equipment for children’s entertainers, you will have seen just how much “stuff” there is available to buy.
Ranging in price from a few pennies up to hundreds (and sometimes thousands of pounds), it can be bewildering and confusing to know what to buy.
It can be all too easy to think you need to buy EVERYTHING going in order to be a “good” entertainer!
I know that feeling.
Sadly I fell into that trap years ago, investing in numerous props that were completely useless in the real world (I remember buying a trick for £150 that was completely impractical for the real world - what a complete waste of money that was.)
On this audio CD, I will explain what you actually NEED as an entertainer and what you really do NOT need. Think of it as a “What Not To Buy” CD!
I’ll explain my “secret” philosophy on props and equipment, and explain how the purchase of a special table can do most of your work for you...and earn you more money!
I’ll explain the PA system I use and why it is SUCH great value.
I’ll explain how (and why) I use my PA system to stand out from the crowd and charge higher fees.
And I’ll explain why “more expensive” doesn’t always mean “better".
I guarantee that the money you save by listening to this CD alone will more than pay for the entire system...multiple times over!
CD 3 - The Marketing CD
On this CD, I outline my simple, cost-effective and results-achieving approach to marketing.
I do not believe you need to spend a fortune in order to market yourself.
There are many (MANY!) courses and systems available on “marketing for magicians and entertainers”. I own nearly all of them. Some are excellent, some are good and some are...of limited value, particularly for the UK market.
On this CD, I condense what I have actually used in the UK market and what has actually worked for me. No “plucked-from-the-air” theory, no imaginary successes with crazy ideas.
I will tell you what I have used, whar has worked and what HASN’T worked (so that you hopefully won’t make the same mistakes I have made!)
I'll explain how I came to be the headline act for a prestigious booking in Bristol two years in a row - and how I obtained FREE publicity and advertising to every school child in Bristol and Bath and their parents (how much would you pay for that in your local market?!)
I’ll also explain my online strategy - including why it works so well and why it has generated so much business for me over the years.
VERY few magicians and entertainers market themselves the way that I do. But guess what...it works really, REALLY well!
CD 4 - The Show Audio
This CD really “does what it says on the box”! It is an audio recording of my best-selling 45-minute Magic FUN Show, the show that I book week after week around the Bristol area.
Luckily I have an “easy-to-listen-to” voice (as well as an incredibly humble nature!) and the show itself is so much FUN, you will actually find yourself enjoying listening to the show, and learning how (and why) it flows so well.
By combining this CD with the show DVD, you will learn the show in the shortest possible time, meaning you can start generating income from it sooner rather than later..
CD 5 - Goal Setting Workshop
On this ‘bonus’ CD, I will walk you through a step-by-step process to determine exactly what you want from your entertainment business. Do you want to do it full-time or part-time? Do you want to specialize in a certain area? Do you want to be the highest paid entertainer in your area? The busiest? The most well-known?
Until you know exactly WHERE you want to go, it’s very hard to figure out HOW to get there!
This workshop will help you clarify the ‘what’ and the ‘how’, and provide even more motivation to get out there and start actually using the system!
CD 6 - How To Add Party Games To Your Show
On this ‘bonus’ CD, I will detail exactly how to add 45-minutes to an hour of games and activities to the packages you can offer customers.
I’ll describe exactly what my 2-hour “Complete Party Package” includes, and the games I run for the children.
I’ll explain what games work best and how to run them with minimal hassle. How to ensure you maintain control of the games while still ensuring the kids are all having a GREAT time!
Using the details on this CD, you too will be able to offer a 2-hour party package for £200 like I do (or more if you want of course) and actually book LOTS of them.
CD 7 - Resource CD
If ever a CD was designed to save you time and money...this is it!
This data CD contains a HUGE amount of documents - sample confirmation letters, letterheads, resources for parents, a goal planning form, a Christmas marketing strategy, a system workbook, a resource list and a special bonus e-book.
Al the documents on this CD are samples of the actual ones that I use. They are the exact same confirmation letters that I send out to my clients. Everything on this CD works in the real world (in the UK market), and is what I use day in and day out.
And the CD contains each file as both a PDF and a Word document, to enable you to easily adapt it for yourself.
DVD 1 - System Introduction
When you receive the system, this is the very first thing you should watch!
On this DVD, I will introduce you to the system, explain how it has all been put together and WHY it has been put together the way it has.
I’ll give you an overview of what the system includes and how to gain maximum benefit from it.
DVD 2 - The Show
This is the “money DVD”. You see my 45-minute Magic FUN Show, "live"!
You’ll see the entire show, from beginning to end, followed by comprehensive instructions for every trick, effect, nuance and subtlety.
This is the exact same show that I routinely book, week after week, for £125. The same show that parents say this about:
(for even more comments from parents, check out this link)
Even better, none of the effects I perform involve any difficult sleight of hand or super-tricky moves to learn.
All the tricks are easy to learn, which means that you can spend time focusing on actually entertaining the kids (what a concept!) and making sure that they are having a GREAT time.
Watching this DVD will show you what a typical show looks like, and will enable you to learn a fun, entertaining show as easily as possible,
DVD 3 - The Activator
The problem most people have after reading a book or completing a system like this one is actually implementing the ideas and strategies outlined. We all procrastinate to a certain degree (yep, you know you do too.)
If you invest in this system and don’t actually DO anything with the information, it will have been a complete waste of your money.
I have invested in a LOT of courses and systems over the years, many of which are gathering dust on my bookshelves. That is NOT what this system has been designed for!
On this DVD, I will walk you through the step-by-step process you will need to take in order to start actually implementing the lessons in this system.
Think of this as your gentle (but firm) “kick-up-the-backside” DVD!!
DVD 4 - Bonus Teach-In
On 4th November 2009 I held a one-day training workshop for children's entertainers. It was a condensed version of this system, given in a live teaching format. I performed my Magic FUN Show in front of a group of children, so the attendees could actually see the reaction this show generates.
I videoed the show with a view to sending a copy of the show to the attendees for them to re-watch at their leisure.
Unfortunately, the technical gremlins struck! For some reason, the recorded video had horrible bright lines running across the screen for the duration of the show, making it impossible to watch.
So, being the nice guy I am, I re-videod the show (but without an audience this time), added in evem more explanations and tips, and posted the DVD to the attendees.
I've decided to include this DVD with the system, to ensure you really pick up as much useable information as possible (when you watch it, just remember it was originally filmed for the attendees at my live training workshop!)
Additional Bonus Workshop
Recently, my entertainer training system was featured in The Sunday Times magazine. As you'll see from the article, my system works.
In 2010 I will be running 6 live training workshops, which will cost £495 per attendee. If you invest in the DVD system though, you get a complimentary place.
So for the cost of the system, you can have both DVD-based and live training to ensure you learn and apply Mike's system principles as effectively as possible.
The Next Step
The complete, comprehensive system, with full rights to use all and any of my marketing materials, show outline etc.
is yours for a one time payment of just...£375
(Postage worldwide is included in the price, but please note that the DVD's are for playback in Region-2 compatible DVD players.)
Compared to the money you would spend trying to start up a children's entertainment business on your own - and having to test everything out - this really is a 'no-brainer'!
