Dear Parents and Guardians 
 
Please use the questions below as a discussion guide to review what they experienced from the magic show. Asking her or him the questions below and discussing their answers with them will help them in several ways. 
 

Benefits of Discussion

It will stimulate their ability to recall details and to express them verbally.
It will allow them to share their excitement for what they experienced with you.
You can also gain insight into your child’s likes and dislikes and the reasons why.
As your child speculates on how tricks may have been performed you are stimulating the logic center of his or her brain as well as enhancing their ability to create explanations for things they do not fully understand.
