A KIDabra Invitation
You're Invited to Join the Family
Did you know that throughout the world there are thousands of people just like you who perform for children and families at birthday parties, schools, preschools, festivals, fairs, libraries, picnics, restaurants and more? It's true! Even better they're like- minded folks who have many of the same successes, concerns and needs just like you. They can be found locally, nationally and globally. At KIDabra International we are a group and a family of those very people, we'd like to invite you to be a part of this amazing family too!
One of our conference staff had tears streaming down his face, in joy, the first time he attended KIDabra Conference. He said it was the first time he had found acceptance as a children's performer and he was blown away. It's what we do here.
It's time you did this for yourself! Join today! Your work with young audiences is important, needed and rewarding. KIDabra International exists to help you with this serious calling. Plus we have a heck of a good time on the journey.
A Place for You!
A Group For You!

Don't Dare Miss Another Copy of The KIDabra Journal!
The KIDabra Journal: Digital Extra!
The KIDabra Journal is now a Digital Magazine in crisp high resolution with page turning features and active hyperlinks, and for you Ipad and mobile device readers, you also receive a Low Res PDF of the Magazine which should open on any device that reads PDF files. Now while you don't get the aforementioned Digital Issue goodies with the PDF version, it's still very cool and readable! (ipad users open the PDF in ibook and you get a magazine/book like viewing experience and it stores your magazine too.) Now enjoy 2 great ways to read your favorite magazine, Digital High Res on your computer and the PDF version on your mobile devices!
Issue 7.2 completes our move to a digital magazine, and yet it's just the beginning as we tweak each issue with more color and surprises. And while the Bruce Bray issue was the first Digital copy and the final regular print copy, don't forget there is the special print copy of the Annual Yearbook Issue of the Journal as well as the Digital issue, delivered to folks at the conference and by mail to members not in attendance.

About the Conference
Imagine:
Kould you imagine a place where you can see 3 Terrific, World Class, Live Children's Shows presented before an audience of experts: kids!
If there was quality time that you could spend with the best lecturer's, teachers and performers from around the KIDshow world, how would you use the time and incredible opportunity? People like Max Howard, Dean Allen Carnegie and Barry Mitchell who inspire you!
Did you know, you could learn the creation of routines for your show from studying the most creative folks in our industry? And that it would be so much fun and educational too? (After all once you have a great trick, prop or skit, the work has just begun to turn it into something folks are eager to watch.) Thinkers like Jim Kleefeld and Duane Laflin, who get your creative juices flowing!
A place where could you go to experience so many styles, viewpoints, theory, and real world expertise of performing for kids and families. How cool it would be to be a part of a chance conversation with Brad, Shabum, and Kimmo talking shop!
Best friends coming together and forging new lifetime friendships and invaluable networking. Find yourself hangin' with folks like Ken Scott, Dave Andrews, and Skip Way!
Resources, a veritable candy store for performers every need, assembled in one place, at one time, like no other place in the world! Walking around making your dream list with Harry, Marty, Riz, and more!
And you could do all of this in a resort like atmosphere at one of the top family fun destinations in the US. Maybe even squeezing in a visit to Terry Evanswood's Show, Dollywood, one of the Outlet malls and a hike through the mountains while you're there.
There is a place! A Conference that exists, only one place on Earth!
