The art of making your stories memorable!

Devised to assist oral communicators (storytellers, mystery entertainers, school teachers, librarians, children’s entertainers, etc.) in the delivery of an entertaining and attention holding presentation. Also an inspiration to magical entertainers seeking to create context, drama and purpose to the mystery of their illusions and visual magic effects.

The use of visual aids, comical ‘bits of business,’ audience inter-action and response is explored; as is the addition of music and sound effects in enhancing mood and atmosphere. All of these elements are discussed and examples demonstrated.

Many hours were spent indexing all the ebooks. You will find a searchable file on the disk listing the contents of every book. Want a story about a cat, or an elephant? A search will give you several. There’s also a comprehensive list of source countries, so if you’re seeking African tales or Welsh legends, you can find them. Leslie’s book is available with the resource files on DVD-Rom or, at a small additional cost, on a USB Flash Drive.
