My Show Experience for 140 First Graders + PHOTOS 🖼️

On May 7th, right after school, I had to go perform a show for 140 kids!

Naturally, I was a bit nervous when I got there, but I prepared myself both physically and mentally. (It's super important to prep yourself mentally and give yourself a positive pep talk, because that way you enjoy it more, which makes the audience enjoy it more too!)

Once everyone arrived, I hit record on the camera, and here was my set list:

Pre-show

Wand Production

D-Lites

Handkerchief Production with a Change Bag

Manipulation Ball Routine (productions, transpositions, vanishes)

Snow Storm

I only had 15 minutes, and the theme was the letter M.

The show itself went really well, and I talked to them about how Magic, Mateini, and Goals all start with M, and how they should always chase their goals and dreams.

They were already hyped up before the pre-show even started; I chatted with them a bit, and when the actual show began, it was one of the best feelings I've ever had performing magic because they were so cooperative, but only when I needed them to be; and especially because THEIR FACES OF AMAZEMENT AND THEIR COMMENTS WERE AWESOME! When they saw something amazing, everyone clapped and yelled WOW; or WHAT?!

And at the end, they told me I was “THE BEST MAGICIAN IN THE WORLD”…😂

From that day on, I fell in love with kids' magic.

Unfortunately, there was a technical glitch, and only the first 3 minutes were recorded, which only includes 1 minute of the pre-show.

But I've included some photos from the show below 🎩.

Thanks so much for reading, and may magic be with you!

Magician Mateini.
