An Educational
Approach to Magic
While magic is one of
the most revered and oldest forms of social entertainment, Dr. Grimes uses magic
to introduce children and young people to other countries and
cultures. Children don the costumes of the countries
whose magic is represented during the shows--Irish fairy and
lepercon outfits for the magical fairy ring, Parisian berets and
artists' neck scarves for the invisible coloring books, East Indian
dresses for the Hindu rope tricks, and Japanese kimonos for the
Ninja rings.
Magical props are
central to Grimes' magic shows. They populate the
tables and displays to create an environment filled with
speculation,
anticipation, and wonder.
