First Communion Party

· Leave a comment ·

First holy communion parties are part of the calendar during April and May.

After the ceremony it’s time for some fun for the kids!

As an interlude while adults enjoy their meals or for the whole gang, 1st communion magic shows can be a hoot.

Naturally your first communion child is featured. They will help me with a special routine during the show but don’t worry, the other kids also participate, either as on-stage helpers or call/response style from their seats.

If multiple families are celebrating together no problem; both communion kids will be featured helpers in their own magical routines.

For a magician in Hamilton or Burlington area your first communion pricing is same as for my in-home birthday party shows.

For in-home 1st communion parties a little further away in communities like Milton, Oakville, Grimsby, Brantford or similar distances, it’s a wee bit more.

My contact info is here.

If your first holy communion event is a larger affair, in a hall for example, please inquire. I’ll need more info before quoting.

Love it when happy parents leave reviews on my Google My Business profile. Two came in this week from recent birthday party magic shows.

The first is for a pair of birthday brothers, ages 4 & 6, and the second was for a 9 year old girl, my second magical visit with her family.

If you’re looking for a birthday magician in Hamilton, Burlington or nearby communities please explore this website. All the info is there for this local magician near you. Drop me a line if you have any questions.

Owen was amazing! He kept over 60 guests (kindergarteners and adults!) captivated for over 45 minutes. Our sons LOVED having him as the highlight of their birthday party. I highly recommend him! Very professional and lovely to have in our home 🙂 Thank you Owen!

OWOW Magic Festival Returns!

· Leave a comment ·


In October 2019 it was my pleasure to perform at the OWOW Magic Festival.

(Blog post about my prior involvement here. Fun video of me from the event here.)

Well, after a 2 year Covid-19 hiatus, the OWOW returns with a schedule which again thoughtfully includes a family matinee. I’m not part of the line-up this time but that’s OK, it’s going to be a great show for families.

This matinee show will run about an hour; just about right length for families with kids. Afterwards it’ll still be daylight. Plenty of time to explore Fergus, Ontario, see the Elora Gorge and enjoy the fall colours.

A great autumn road trip possibility for the family. Ticket info here.

Magic festival's listing details for this October 2022 family magic show event.

BTW, the OWOW Magic Festival activities are part of a larger Centre Wellington Township event called Monster Month which features ghost walks, a costume parade and other ♫ spooooky ♫ community events.

Another Happy Mom Review

Always a delight when you learn the birthday mom has left a review.
“Worth every penny…” — Google, you can share these any time you like!
After a birthday party magic show this past weekend the birthday girl’s magical mom kindly did just that. It’s now part of my Google business listing but sharing here:

“We had Owen join us for my daughters 10th birthday party.
He was amazing! The kids and adults had a blast. He was entertaining and patient, as some of the kids were late to the party and he accommodated. Worth every penny, the laughter and joy was priceless. Thank you for helping make special memories!“

Incidentally, this birthday party & magic show was held in the Churchill Park Clubhouse. It’s a lovely city owned rental space in the west end. You can find out more about this and other city owned recreation facility locations here.
