Kids Birthday Frequently Asked Questions

The following are answers to various questions concerning children's birthday parties

How many birthday party packages do you offer?

I offer three core birthday party programs, each runs between 45 - 90 minutes. They all include tons of laughter, magic, puppets and wonderful moments of audience participation.  If you need something special created for your event, however, I have been doing magic birthday parties for many years and have a lot of different ideas that we can work into the mix.

How much space do you need for a typical birthday party? 

With most birthday party shows, I'm performing right in front of the family room fireplace. I just need a little staging area in front of me for the routines where I have volunteers come forward.  I prefer an area where people cannot get behind me during the show. This includes in front of doorways or the food table.
                 
If you are having an outdoor party, parks are a great place and arranging a performance area in the shade is best for me and the children.

Do you need me to provide a table?  Electricity?  Anything?

Nope.  I bring all my own equipment -- sound system, table, everything. Total set up time is about 5-10 minutes. My goal is to make this birthday party totally easy for you.

How much experience doing children's birthday parties do you have?

I have performed professionally for more than 45 years all across the U.S.  I have literally done thousands of shows for families and family events.

But aren't all birthday magicians the same?  Why shouldn't I just keep calling until I find the cheapest entertainer?

If getting the cheapest price is your top priority, you should definitely shop around.  There's a difference between "price" and "value" -- someone who buys a couple magic tricks, and hires themselves out as a magician 1 or 2 times a month will probably not cost very much, and most likely will be worth even less.
                 
On the other hand, inviting a trained professional into your home to create an unbelievably enjoyable experience you can confidently share with your family and friends involves a totally different level of value.

Okay Ric, why should I hire you compared to all the other options available?

Have you ever experienced a family celebration where every child, every family member, every friend sat transfixed with their eyes glued wide open? Where everyone's jaws just flat out dropped in amazement?  Where the walls of the room seemed to practically rock with howls of laughter and fun?
                 
If not, then you've never had the pleasure of experiencing one of my birthday party shows.  And every one of my birthday party programs is 100% -- "no worries, no hassles, no way you're not going to be thrilled" -- money-back guarantee.
                 
There's absolutely zero risk to you. Your family will get a totally unforgettable birthday party magical variety show packed with laughter, wonder, and incredible Kodak moments guaranteed to create memories that will last a lifetime.
