SEGMENT FOR YOUR SHOW · KIDS’ SHOWS
A short, scripted technique that brings any number of kids from screaming to calm, quiet and attentive, so teachers and parents remember you as the performer who made their day easier.
Picture it
You take bow after bow. Meanwhile, the teachers or the birthday parent now have to move a mass of energized, screaming kids back to class or to the cake. Their lasting memory of your great show becomes chaos.
This isn’t Vegas or a cruise ship. The adults in charge don’t get to bask in the glow. One of the best things you can do for client satisfaction is bring the energy way down before you leave.
What it is NOT
It uses advanced NLP, psychology, vocal inflection and tonality. I submitted this exact technique to earn my Master Practitioner of NLP certification. It’s been refined over hundreds of performances coast to coast.
What you’ll learn
Slipping a requested action past the subconscious.
Accessing the imagination so compliance is easy and fast.
Creating an emotional state on purpose, usable anywhere in your show.
Moving the room from one emotional state to another smoothly.
Speaking to each kid in the way they think.
Slipping a quick “commercial” for your other shows to the adults.
What clients say after
I perform mostly daytime assemblies for up to 600 kids. Schools have told me, “I wish you could come dismiss ALL of our assemblies.” It shows them you understand how hard it is to manage a big group of kids, and that’s what they’re thinking about the moment your show ends.
What you get
No. The script runs 60 to 90 seconds, closer to two minutes if you add an embedded command and a casual mention for the adults.
No. Most of the technique works indirectly. I keep the direct suggestion in because school faculty love hearing it.
Yes. The training covers the simple changes for smaller groups and other settings.
No. Part of it is a story about another show with a similar group of kids. It makes sense to children and adults alike.
