The "Happy Magic" of Duane
Laflin
Duane Laflin is a specialist in the field of family entertainment. His
confounding illusions are a treat for the eyes. His professional conduct puts a
smile in the heart. To watch and experience his combination of classic magic
tricks, upbeat attitude, and comedy emphasis is truly "wonder-full".
Duane has been developing his style of performance for more than twenty years. His performances have taken him to nearly all 50 states of the USA and also to Canada, England, and New Zealand. He has written over 25 books on using tricks and special optical effects for the purposes of entertainment and teaching. In March of 1995 he was invited to the famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, California, to lecture to other magicians on the art of presenting illusions and creating dynamic programs.
Along with doing his classic magic tricks, with a comedy twist, Duane Laflin also uses his illusions as teaching aids. He regularly works in public schools doing assembly programs under the theme of "Illusion and Truth about Drug Abuse", and he is well known for his work in churches, where he uses creative teaching aids to give a spiritual challenge. From 1991 through 1995, Duane Laflin was the International President of the Fellowship of Christian Magicians.
When humor, talent, and positive attitude are used to produce astonishment, laughter, and spectacular effect, the result is "Happy Magic". Duane Laflin's entertaining and inspiring performance style is exactly that... "Happy Magic".
