Each technique is guaranteed to cause laughter and reactions from the young audience.
Each chapter is accompanied by two hilarious routines For children, entirely scripted, which highlight the ease and efficiency with which techniques can be associated with classical magic to arouse crazy pleasure in children.
The strengths of these routines are as follows:

"The Pop-Out Card." :: After having an empty envelope, a birthday card appears surprisingly, leaving the envelope without the magician's knowledge. Some DIY supplies are enough to make this ingenious accessory.
"Snake Snack." :: Christopher presents here his standard version of magic cooking ... under steroids. After the magical appearance of a spring snake instead of a cake, the public continues to thwart the wishes of the magician by showing several snakes.
As in the original work Beyond Look, Don't See, each chapter is accompanied by several ideas to take and put into practice which demonstrate the usefulness of each technique. Although they are not complete routines, each of these concepts has the necessary potential for any magician to take it and transform it into A classic children's show routine.
Along the way, Christopher pauses in the techniques to present the Spotlight chapters. These chapters, rather than sharing specific routine construction tools, focus on General aspects of a children's show.

"But Grownups Laugh Too." :: Christopher shares his methods to entertain adults during his children's shows ... without sacrificing children's entertainment.
"Magician Control." :: This frank discussion on the theme of children's control highlights the importance of redefining the way the magician reacts to behavioral problems that arise during a show.
"The Family Show: A Perilous Tightrope." :: A perilous striped rope. Unlike popular belief, children's shows are not family shows. Christopher looks at the differences between the two audiences and explains how to effectively entertain each of them.
