Juggling, illusions, physical comedy, modeling behavior and audience participation are a winning combination used in developing these core ethical values as the basis of good character. This show is technically very good and creative. Audience participation is active throughout. The kids were delighted with the zany comedy and awed by the skillful illusions. The artists are effective verbal and artistic communicators. They are punctual and make effective use of time.	$201- $350
