About
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,

Mr. Bob is a great Clown magician to have in a party. There were 3 kids in the party who are affraid of clowns, but they had so much fun to think about being scare. I will definitely recommend him. He was there on time and patiently deal with the kids...

Mr. Bob was wonderful and had the kids laughing so hard! And he made my 7 year old birth day girl feel very special! He was very professional, and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a party magician.

I did a lot of research before booking Mr. Bob. I am glad I did and I am glad I booked Mr. Bob! The experience from beginning to end was awesome and flawless. I liked the fact that he deals with his customers personally versus having the company call and try and book an entertainer. He was very communicative and nice. He arrived on time and was very friendly. This was not his first show of the day so it was nice that he was still in a good mood showing up at my son's 6th birthday party. The theme for my son's party was a baseball theme. I asked him in advance if he could come up with a baseball magic trick and he sure did. He made my son, Jayden, feel so special that day. He was so funny! The kids loved him and the adults did also! He had a lot of adult humor incorporated in his show. We did the magic show, facepainting and balloon twisting and he was awesome throughout. He guarentees his work and I was very happy and impressed with Mr. Bob! If you are reading this review, LOOK NO FURTHER and book Mr. Bob. I am glad I did and you will be glad you did also! Thanks Mr. Bob, you are truly talented and great at what you do!

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!
