I hired jay jay to visit our daycare center and he did amazing! The kids and staff loved him. He was very patient with them and kept them well entertained. I loved that he also interacted with them by allowing them to help out during his performance. I have already recommended him to parents he’s awesome!

Hello Ali, Thank you for choosing me to be a part of your entertainment at your sons Birthday party. I had a great time with the kids and the adults too. Glad to hear you were fooled by some of the tricks. Not sure if the kids liked the magic ticks or the big bubbles better. Thanks for taking the time to write a review for me. Hope to see you again at a future event. Thank you for your business. Jay Jay 847-483-4520

We hired Jay Jay for my daughters indoor bday event. Jay Jay was very responsive and answered all questions prior to the event. He was very punctual and came to our place right on time. He brings his own table and chair along with his materials. The kids loved his magic show and his balloons. He was very interactive with both the kids and adults. He dresses up and comes as Clown if you want him to. Overall the kids were well entertained by Jay Jay.

Details: 11 - 20 guests • 4 - 6 years old • 7 - 10 years old • Birthday party • Magic show • Games • Balloon twisting • Face painting
