Dealers Information
For one week a year KIDabra becomes the premiere destination in the world for kidshow resources! Each vendor is selected by invitation for their unique line and the way their products can benefit you and your performance. A walk through the room is akin to a magical theme park ride that gets better with each turn around a new corner.
Every year an astounding amount of books, DVD's and props make their debut at KIDabra, making it the place to buy, research and salivate over the toys (oops we mean tools) for your show!

Photos that are exciting and dynamic with personality are an absolute necessity in
today's entertainment market. Snapshots look cheap...and even a professionally shot
“portrait” lacks enthusiasm. The average photographer doesn't know how to capture an
energetic promotional photo ... but I do!

My name is Michael Messing. Many of you know me as a full-time magician,
specializing in family shows. But you may not know that I've also been a
professional photographer for more than 30 years. That combination makes
photographing entertainers my specialty because I know how to capture your
style and uniqueness.

At this year's Kidabra, I'll have a complete professional studio set up ready
to work with you to make some great photos happen. Everyone needs great
photos, so I have four packages to fit anyone's budget:
|  |
- The Get A Head Session - The headshot you absolutely need for only
$25! That's right - only $25!
- The Step Up Session - Here's the best
offer I've ever made! You get a headshot and
two poses of your choice for only $79.
- The Keeping Busy Session - You're busy. You need more than just a couple of
photos to show what you offer so this session will get you a variety of images. It lasts
30 minutes and you'll get 10 to 12 photos, all for $199.
- The Complete Working Professional Session - This session will give you as
many poses and costumes as we can fit into a one-hour session. Get photos for all
your Library, Halloween, Christmas, Easter, birthday party and school shows! This
session also includes creative consultant, Tom Vorjohan, who will be there to help
you get the best look possible. This session is an unbelievable bargain at $279 for
everything!
 |
All sessions include you receiving full resolution digital images of the best of each pose fully retouched so you look
your best. (That includes removing blemishes, whitening teeth and eyes and
reducing wrinkles, if needed.) |
I've had the pleasure of photographing many performers, including
Brad Ross, David Farr, Robert Bengel, Rich Bloch, Mark Wurst, Tim
Mannix, D.J. Ehlert, Roger "Skip" Way, Don Baggett, The Balloon
Guys and Louis Meyer. Here's what their sessions produced:
See Galleries (Click on each thumbnail photo to open up the full
gallery for each performer.)
As the number of available sessions is extremely limited, I urge
to prebook a session. For more information or to prebook your
session, send Mike an email at mmessing@greatmagicshows.com
or call (865) 690-7377. And don't forget to bring your costumes
and props!
