Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Mr. Bob the Magic Man is not an agent and definitely not a company-run franchise, but simply an independent children's birthday party entertainer. He has performed for children since 1989! In April of 2014, it'll mark 25 years of entertaining the little ones. Thanks to his love of kids and dedication to the art of magic, he has managed to become the most sought-after birthday party entertainer in the Chicagoland area! Parents book him several weeks and even months in advance. That's how busy he is. He has gone to parties where children actually greet him by name, thanks to previous visits! I've always loved magic and entertaining children. There are always children's neighbors, nieces, nephews and grand children that I could try my new magic on. If I get a thumbs-up from the kids, I'll incorporate the new magic tricks in my show,

Once the party was over and we got home my daughter told me that when she "becomes a grown up she wants to be a magic man". Bob was great!!! The kids had fun and the adults as well. He was active and funny and he really worked with me for the party. Long story short at last minute my venue became double booked and I had to switch addresses for my party. He worked with me, I know I probably was annoying lol, trying to change days or the time. Thankfully it all worked out. I had called to price others and they were not willing to accommodate my large party (I had about 45 kids). Bob was great!!! He did a fantastic magic act and did balloon twisting for EVERY child at the party. He was a great asset to my daughter Jamia's party and I will definitely recommend him and use him again.

I saw. "Mr Bob" entertain for the first time at a friends Birthday party. Individually my twins each asked, " Please can Mr Bob come to our house for our Birthday "? So that's what we did for their Birthday party Nov 9. He made such an impression on the kids they were even fired up when I called "Mr Bob" and they knew he was on the phone. Mys elf and the twenty some friends and family gathered for their party ( of all ages) just Loved his show! He's funny, engaging , entertaining and the utmost professional. It was over an hour show and literally no one got up he was so entertaining. He was able to masterfully keep the twelve 6-12 year olds so in to what his next trick would be:) it's just an adorable endearing show with clean old fashion humor. We all could watch his show again and again. Thanks for making our twins Birthday so fun and memorable Mr Bob!

FAQs

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    Always attending workshops, conferences, conventions and classes to keep up with all aspects of my entertainment business.

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    Back in 1989, I performed my very 1st magic show for my daughter's 5th birthday party. I was nervous, but pulled it off and the rest is history.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    When shopping around for other entertainers, be sure to browse their website, photos and most importantly, have a phone conversation with that person before deciding on entertainment. You should be confident that he or she is the best person to be your party entertainer. Nowadays, Moms and Dads want more for their money. There are already many expenses, such as food, drinks, cake, ice cream and decorations- you want to make sure that your entertainment is successful as well! MR. BOB TO THE RESCUE!
