It’s Magic – Children Improve Self-Esteem While Having Fun

August 30, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Education News
LIVINGSTON, N.J. – Many parents and grandparents want to find ways to increase the confidence and self-esteem of their children, and many are following the recommendation of Kids First and Parent’s Choice – magic.

Children are thrilled by the magic tricks performed by Frank DeMasi, and they love to learn to do the tricks themselves. Practicing the tricks develops confidence, and performing for others increases self-esteem.

DeMasi, known as MagicFrank, has given over 10,000 magic performances in the past 20 years for organizations and groups of all types. He also gives magic lessons to children through personal appearances and in a series of DVDs.

Parents love the way DeMasi is able to teach children such positive qualities while the kids think they are just having fun.

DeMasi’s DVDs have received a number of awards and endorsements, including the Preferred Choice Award and a Seal of Excellence Award. They are endorsed by Kids First, and recommended by Parent’s Choice. Consumer Reports selected the video lessons for its “Best Gifts” issue two years in a row. The School Library Journal has recommended the videos to librarians.

“I encourage you to give MagicFrank's series a try and begin enjoying the fun of amusing and amazing your friends for your next gathering,” said the Family Review Center.

“MagicFrank’s Lessons in Magic” come in four different DVDs that can be purchased individually or as a set at http://MagicFrank.com. The magic can be performed with everyday items and a regular deck of cards.

Kids learn how to perform over 80 different magic tricks by following the instructions of MagicFrank.

“It’s exciting for kids to perform a trick that is perceived by their audience as truly amazing. For example, using a deck of cards you can learn how to make all the cards turn to the same card, then change them back to a normal deck. You can even place all the cards in a bag and find the persons card,” explained DeMasi.

The vanishing tricks are some of the most popular for kids to perform for others. They learn how to make items, such as a coin, cookie, or sponge vanish and reappear. They also learn to make nickels turn into a dime.

Many of the tricks can be performed with everyday objects easily found in the home. Practicing and performing the magic taught by DeMasi develops hand eye coordination, improves public speaking skills, improves self-confidence and self-esteem, but children think they are just having fun with magic.

Each video provides step by step instructions that are easy for children to follow.

DeMasi not only brings happiness to children through his many live performances, he is actively changing the lives of thousands of children with his award-winning video series.
