Magic For Kid Birthdays

When having an adult party, the most important factor to consider is the booze. Have a full stocked bar, and your night is pretty much a guaranteed win. But when planning a party for your little one, the question of the right food and drinks isn’t enough. Kids want entertainment, but how do you know which form of entertainment is right for your event? You don’t want to just plop your kids in front of a movie, and unfortunately we can’t all afford to fly our kids and their friends out to Disney World. So what’s left?

Hiring a magician for your child’s birthday party is a sure fire way to get the kids excited and in the party mood! The best part about hiring a magician is that you have options. You can choose different magicians based on what kind of show they perform as well as what age group they cater to. Some magic acts may be more like a show – where the magician performs tricks in front of a group and 1 or 2 children may have the chance to assist in a trick. Other magicians take more of a hands-on approach, performing tricks, which require audience interaction and cater more to smaller, more personal groups. Do your research and choose the best performer to meet your party needs.

Still skeptical about hiring a magician? Here are some reasons why magicians make a great choice for any child’s birthday party.

Age Appropriate

Many parents have a hard time finding a performance that is age appropriate, that their children and guests would all enjoy. Sure, hiring someone to walk around in a Dora the Explorer costume may get your kids excited for a few short moments, but it provides very little interaction. A magic show would not only be memorable, but can also be customized for any age group.

Customize the Show

The magician may have a preplanned act or show, but there are many ways they can customize it to make the girl or boy of honor feel extra special! For example, if they are doing a card trick, give them a deck of cards with your child’s face all over it. Or, arrange for the magician to incorporate the boy or girl of honor into the show. They can meet beforehand and work on some tricks that they will do together. Your child will wow their friends with their newly found magical powers!

Kick Start Creativity

Think back to when you were growing up – did you ever dream about having magic powers like Harry Potter or the all powerful Merlin? Magic has long been a mystical subject that excites kids of all ages. A Magic show brings these dreams to reality with mind bending tricks and mystical illusions. The guests will try and guess how the trick was done for weeks on end!

Fun For Everyone

The greatest part of hiring a magician is that it is entertaining for kids of all ages! That means you too, Mom and Dad! While the magician is going to be performing kid friendly tricks, adults can get a kick out of these tricks too. You can even ask the magician to throw in a trick specifically for the adults if you wish!
