How long is your show?
–The magic show typically runs 35-40 minutes followed by photos.
Budget about 45-50 minutes in total for my part of the party.

How much does it cost?
–Current birthday party pricing can be found here.
This is the price for a typical home birthday party magic show. If you are planning something larger I’ll need more info and pricing may change.

What ages do you perform birthday magic shows for?
–Most of my birthday shows are for kids in 6-7-8-9 age range.
However, show content can be adjusted for age 6 and under or age 10 and up.

Can you do multiple birthday kids?
–Yes. If you have twins, or are combining family birthdays for siblings or cousins, both birthday kids will be featured.

Do you have testimonials & reviews?
–Yes. There are some scattered throughout this website as well as on separate pages here and here.

Can you do your show outdoors?
–Yes, but you will always get a better show indoors.
To give you the best possible outdoor show keep us away from pool side activities, noisy bouncy house blowers or an active smoking BBQ or other food & drink.
The weather can be a factor as well. Temperature swings caused clouds may cause kids to suddenly get cold on an otherwise ideal day.
Also your neighbour might decide to cut his lawn during your party!

We have a small house, can you still do your show?
–Yes. I can adapt to most every household as long as the kids are comfortable. Often just moving the coffee table out of the family room adds all the extra space we may need.

Do you do balloon animals?
–No.

Do you do face painting?
–No.

Can kids eat during show?
–Not recommended. My show is very interactive. Kids busy with food and drinks can’t fully participate. Drinks get spilled and food gets dropped. Best to plan around this as it’s quite a tempting distraction for kids… and magicians alike!

In some cultures it is common practice to watch while eating. Please consider making an exception, at least for the kids, during your magic show.

Do you do adult birthdays?
–Yes, but selectively. My performing style is a suitable choice for mature adults and seniors. Good for 60 and up crowd but not so much for 25 year olds. Just being honest!

Can you do your show at an indoor play land?
–You usually don’t need outside entertainment at a play land or bowling alley party. There’s enough fun stuff going on there already. Kids won’t want to stop playing and I don’t blame them!

How far will you travel?
–As a practical matter I do most of my birthday party magic shows in Hamilton, Burlington and the surrounding communities.
I will travel further on occasion but birthday pricing you may have seen on this website will not apply.
