••• Best ways to arrange the performance •••
The Chair Suspension (below) is a popular addition to home parities and assemblies. It can accommodate a boy or girl that weighs 45 to 75 pounds. We need a hard, flat, level surface to perform this illusionette
• Stage the show on a level surface, as a general rule
• Every performance is arranged so the audience faces Jay Leslie (like a theater)
• Indoor shows require 8 feet of space from the wall to the first row of guests
• If outside, the sun should be behind the children, who may be sitting on the ground
• Performances should not be set in a traffic zones like doorways or patios
• Preplan to reroute traffic flow by closing off areas, if needed
• Please don't tie balloons to chairs, tables or the foot of the stage as they obscure the view
• ,All distractions should be removed - food, pets, toys, balloons, music & games

• Strolling magic should be considered when a stand-up show is not possible
••• Other Considerations •••

Animals: Our animals are not generally used outdoors because of technical and whether conditions. If temperatures are too high the animals can not perform
• If technical or safety conditions are not acceptable, specific tricks (including animal tricks) may be omitted with no effect on payment, even if they were scheduled in the original agreement. Consideration of the health and wellfare of our animals is always Jay's first concern

Space: Basic requirements include water and electricity (Electricity is not needed for 40 tricks and 40 jokes)
• Jay usually arrives 45 minutes early (or more). This time is needed to set-up the sound system, assemble tables and the other props
• No one should sit or stand beside Jay Leslie including set-up time because of the space required to assemble the show
• Video taping or photography is welcome but only from the front
• A parking space is appreciated because Jay usually needs to shuffle equipment (up to 5 trips)

Times: Shows are generally scheduled at 1:00, 3:15 and after 5:00 pm. because most parties start at Noon, 2:00 or after 3:30 pm. The 1:00, 3:00 & 5:00 schedule gives guests enough time to arrive, socalize and eat. An hour after the party starts is usually the right amount of time before Jay starts because people are always late
• Shows starting late because the host isn't ready or the guests have not arrived may be abbreviated with no affect on payment

••• Small Show "40 tricks and 40 jokes" Can be performed at a park, back yard or indoors
Approximately 45 to 65 minutes of fun magic including balloon animals and audience participation. There are 7 places where volunteers will be asked to help including special tricks for the birthday boy or girl (if it's a birthday party) where they are celebrated. Approximately a dozen tricks and routines are performed

This show is also designed to work if there is a breeze and when it's 90 degrees outside. Live animals aren't usually used outdoors due to possible wind, heat and other conditions

This show is also permitted in restaurants (State law prohibits the use of animals in eating establishments)

••• Medium Show with live animals, is designed for Indoor performance (No stage required)
Jay Leslie has a natural sense of humor. Shows are always fun

B ecause it is a live performance , shows varies between 45 and 70. For smaller parties the time is extended by making balloon animals

This program has many theatrical elemants with routines that have a beginning, middle and end. It's as much theatre as it is magic

••• Larger Show for Assembles, Scouts, Shopping Centers, Fairs ect. might include:
The Floating Ball, Chair Suspension, Strait Jacket Escape, Chopper trick & others with animals and/or other larger props. The content varies depencing on the ages of the audience

Larger shows are for groups of 20 to 1000 people. Technical conditions must be correct to allow the performance of any particular effect. This performance is best held on a stage or good sized open area
• All Party Shows include - Jay Leslie's Stand-Up Comedy-Magic
• Watch interactive comedy magic where Jay "interviews" his volunteers. Jay Leslie is famous for getting volunteers to say funny things
• 7 to 8 audience participation tricks • Special tricks for birthday boys or girls to perform (even if they are adults)

All shows are appropriate for children, adults and believe it or not teenagers too.
Note: Children's shows have "Catch me if you can" type of tricks while adult shows are more direct in effect

Larger shows may also include:

• Custom written musical-magical routines • Wireless microphones and amplifier •Backdrops and/or direct lighting
• Doves, Canneries & Fido™ the Wonder Rabbit • Larger props depending on stage size, audience size & budget
• Strolling Magic and Sleight Of Hand - for events where a Stand-Up show won't work because of other activities or space
Jay performs mind boggling sleight of hand, Interactive in nature - more geared to adults
Strolling Magic is perfect for Open Houses, Receptions, Banquets and Parties where there are more adults then children
You will see Jay Leslie's award winning routines he teaches other magicians and on DVD
Do you have big round tables? Are you looking for an ice-breaker? Is it a coctail party ? Strolling magic is probably better.
