Retirement home

Retirement home was created by drewer
I am looking into performing some shows at a retirement home. What are some things I should know before doing this. I know to call and ask them if I can, some people there are hard at hearing and , some can\'t come up to volunteer. I know probably not to do card tricks if they have to remember the cards and i know that they can\'t always do everything right. Anything else?

I would focus on very visual magic such as a Zombie Ball or production items etc. If you select a volunteer from the audience, be sure to talk to them before the show and make sure you think they will be able to do and understand what you want.

Thanks for the quick replay mattr. I\'ll have to keep that in mind while planning the show. Do you have any idea how long I should make the show?

I would think 30 minutes may be a good amount of time for senior audience

Ok, thanks Joe. I guess I\'ll aim for 30 minutes but shorten or lengthen the show accordingly after the first show. I also know not to be offended if someone falls asleep during the show. :) Thanks

Hey Drew,
How have you made out with the retirement home shows?
I would be interested to see what your experience has been.
