No Fail Kid s Magic from Tim Sonefelt on Vimeo.

Wonder Imagery is proud to be the exclusive source for Sean's DVDs in the USA! Sean is a great guy and wealth of information.

Sean is best known as a mentalist but for many years, early in his career, he made a full time living from entertaining children. Sean is a dynamic, quick witted, funny and talented family entertainer. Consequently, he could be found each week working solidly for audiences from the smallest, back yard birthday party up to huge corporate stage shows for all ages. Working in and around small towns, he was forced to constantly develop new material in order to remain current and manage repeat bookings.

The DVDs in this series contain over 30 different tricks, routines and effects. You will see them performed live for an audience of excitable and ebullient kids and then, aside from explaining the effects, Sean also details the secrets behind the tricks. He covers in depth the kinds of things you should consider when entertaining kids with tips, gags, lines, bits of business and advice gleaned from years of live performance.
